Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Natural Product Synthesis
  • Marine Natural Products

Background:

  • Phomactins C and D are complex marine natural products with potential biological activities.
  • Efficient synthetic routes are crucial for accessing these compounds for further study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient and diastereoselective synthetic strategy for the core structure of phomactins C and D.
  • To establish a robust method for assembling the complex carbon framework of these marine natural products.

Main Methods:

  • The synthesis commenced from 3,4-dimethylcyclohexen-2-one.
  • Key steps included a highly diastereoselective Michael addition of a mixed cuprate.
  • Macrocyclization was achieved via carbonylative alkyne-enoltriflate coupling or intramolecular acetylide addition.
