چکیده

A highly stereoselective total synthesis of the alkaloid natural product welwitindolinone A isonitrile has been completed. The synthesis utilizes a chloronium ion mediated semi-pinacol rearrangement to simultaneously install the C10 quaternary center and neopentyl chlorine and a novel anionic cyclization to construct the spiro-oxindole with complete stereocontrol.

A mild and efficient synthesis of oxindoles: progress towards the synthesis of welwitindolinone A isonitrile.

Recently, Moore and co-workers reported the isolation and structural elucidation of several oxindole-containing natural products from blue-green algae. Termed the welwitindolinones, this structurally intriguing class of alkaloids displays diverse and valuable biological properties, including multiple drug resistance (MDR) reversing, insecticidal, and antifungal activities. To date, ten congener...

Evolution of a synthetic strategy: total synthesis of (+/-)-welwitindolinone A isonitrile.

An efficient and highly stereoselective total synthesis of the natural product (+/-)-welwitindolinone A isonitrile (1) is described. The bicyclo[4.2.0]octane core of 1 was established by a regio- and diastereoselective [2+2] ketene cycloaddition. The C12 quaternary center and vicinal stereogenic chlorine were installed in a single operation with excellent stereocontrol via a chloronium ion medi...

A Unified Route to the Welwitindolinone Alkaloids: Total Syntheses of (−)-N-Methylwelwitindolinone C Isothiocyanate, (−)-N-Methylwelwitindolinone C Isonitrile, and (−)-3-Hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C Isothiocyanate

As part of a comprehensive strategy to the welwitindolinone alkaloids possessing a bicyclo[4.3.1]decane core, we report herein concise asymmetric total syntheses of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (2a), (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile (2b), and (-)-3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (3a) from a common tetracyclic intermediate. The crucial vinyl chloride ...

Metabolic Glycan Imaging by Isonitrile–Tetrazine Click Chemistry

Seeing the sugar coating: N-Acetyl-glucosamine and mannosamine derivatives tagged with an isonitrile group are metabolically incorporated into cell-surface glycans and can be detected with a fluorescent tetrazine. This bioorthogonal isonitrile-tetrazine ligation is also orthogonal to the commonly used azide-cyclooctyne ligation, and so will allow simultaneous detection of the incorporation of t...

Biosynthesis of isonitrile lipopeptides by conserved nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters in Actinobacteria.

A putative lipopeptide biosynthetic gene cluster is conserved in many species of Actinobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. marinum, but the specific function of the encoding proteins has been elusive. Using both in vivo heterologous reconstitution and in vitro biochemical analyses, we have revealed that the five encoding biosynthetic enzymes are capable of synthesizing a famil...
