Lyconadin A is a pentacyclic Lycopodium alkaloid isolated from the club moss Lycopodium complanatum with antitumor properties. We have developed a novel 7-exo/6-exo acyl radical cascade cyclization as a method of making the bicyclo[5.4.0]undecane ring system of lyconadin A. The model products are trans-fused ring systems, while a cis-fused ring system is needed in lyconadin A. We have discovered a method to convert the trans-fused model cascade cyclization product into the desired cis isomer. Based on Donohoe's pyridone synthesis, we developed a method for the construction of 5-alkyl and 3,5-dialkyl-6-carbomethoxy-2-pyridones, the former of which is a subunit of lyconadin A. An intramolecular Reformatsky reaction is a key step in this process. We have proceeded with our total synthesis, in which we generated an epoxide by Shi asymmetric epoxidation and regioselectively opened epoxide rings. We have prepared carboxylic acid 197.

Part I: Pyrrolidine derivatives were attached a methoxy group on a-C position of pyrrolidine-ring via anodic oxidation. Followed with alkylation and series of transformation under Lewis acids to obtain tropane alkaloids. Part II: Application of intramolecular radical cyclization toward the synthesis of aporphine alkaloids. Tributyltinhydride and AIBN were used to generate aryl radicals. Trapping of aryl radicals with unsaturated alkenes led to products.

The ascidian isolation artifact didemnaketal A is a highly oxygenated polyisoprenoid capable of inhibiting HIV-1 protease through an unusual dissociative mechanism. However, recent synthetic efforts have cast doubt on stereochemical assignments in the originally published structure. In the interest of elucidating the true structure of didemnaketal A through total synthesis, we present a strategy for rapidly accessing the putative spiroketal fragment by exploiting its latent symmetry. In a single step, double Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions (SAD) allowed us to simultaneously set all seven stereogenic centers and assemble this complex fragment from non-chiral material. The precursor was obtainable through a racemic synthesis in which the geometric isomers of a nine-membered cyclic enone converged in a ring-opening cross metathesis reaction (ROCM). / Graduate / 0490 / jdavy@uvic.ca

Les O-glycoconjugués et les dérivés glycosidiques sont des composés naturels impliqués dans de nombreux processus biologiques. Cependant, leurs propriétés sont grevées par la médiocre stabilité in vivo de la liaison osidique. Il est donc intéressant de développer des mimes non hydrolysables. Nous nous sommes intéressés au remplacement de l’oxygène intracyclique par un groupement gem-difluorométhylène.La synthèse d’analogues difluorocarbocycliques de 5-désoxypentofuranoses et de 1-amino-5-désoxypentofuranoses a été décrite. La synthèse comporte une addition dePhSeCF2TMS sur des aldéhydes dérivés de sucres ou sur les tert-butanesulfinylimines correspondantes, suivie d’une cyclisation radicalaire. La diastéréosélectivité de ces deux étapes-clés a été étudiée, puis cette stratégie de synthèse a été appliquée à la synthèse deCF2-carbasucres, notamment l’analogue CF2-carbocyclique du D-arabinose. / O-Glycoconjugates and carbohydrate-based molecules are natural compoundsimplied in many biological processes. However, their properties are burdened by the low invivo stability of the osidic bond. It is thus interesting to develop non hydrolyzable mimetics.We were interested in the replacement of the intracyclic oxygen by a gem-difluoromethylenegroup.The synthesis of difluorinated carbocyclic analogues of 5-deoxypentofuranoses and1-amino-5-deoxypentofuranoses is described. The sequence involves an addition ofPhSeCF2TMS to carbohydrate-derived aldehydes or their corresponding tertbutanesulfinyliminesfollowed by a radical cyclization. The stereochemical outcome of these two key steps was studied, and then this strategy was applied to CF2-carbasugars, inparticular of the CF2-carbocyclic analogue of D-arabinose.
