A synthetic approach toward the two major fragments of cathedulin K-19, euonyminol (4) and dimethyl cathate (69), was investigated. Synthesis of dimethyl cathate was accomplished in 3 steps starting from 73. Efforts directed towards the synthesis of euonyminol, a highly oxygenated dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpene, was advanced to a stage in which most of the A ring of 4 was completed. Compound 79 was used as a starting material which was obtained from a Diels-Alder reaction of 80 and 81. Subsequent bromination of 79 and elimination of hydrogen bromide afforded 93 in a one-pot operation. A remarkable chemo- and stereoselective reduction of 93 under Luche conditions gave 94 and the latter was epoxidized stereoselectively by m-chloroperbenzoic acid to yield 91. Introduction of an isopropenyl moiety to 91 was accomplished following Liotta's protocol to provide 145. Vanadium catalyzed epoxidation installed the epoxide moiety of 152a with good stereoselectivity. Two approaches towards 4 from the key intermediate 152a were pursued. The first approach entailed the epoxide cascade reaction of 152a. Treatment of 152a with trifluoro- or trichloroacetic acid afforded 165 and 166, respectively, which possessed most of the functionality required for 4. The second route to 178 proceeded in 5 steps from 152a. Treatment of 152a with titanium tetraisopropoxide afforded 168, which was cyclized to 169 under acid catalysis. The diol moiety of 169 was protected as a benzylidene acetal and subsequent hydroxylation following Davis' procedure afforded 171. Stereoselective reduction of 171 using lithium aluminum hydride in the presence of titanium tetraisopropoxide provided 178. / Graduation date: 1994
