The total syntheses of aflastatin A and its C3-C48 degradation fragment have been achieved, revealing a structural misassignment in the naturally derived degradation product. The revised absolute configurations of six stereogenic centers were also confirmed in this study.
The total syntheses of aflastatin A and its C3-C48 degradation fragment (6a, R = H) have been accomplished. The syntheses feature several complex diastereoselective fragment couplings, including a Felkin-selective trityl-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction, a chelate-controlled aldol reaction involving soft enolization with magnesium, and an anti-Felkin-selective boron-mediated oxygenated aldol reaction. Careful comparison of the spectroscopic data for the synthetic C3-C48 degradation fragment to that reported by the isolation group revealed a structural misassignment in the lactol region of the naturally derived degradation product. Ultimately, the data reported for the naturally derived aflastatin A C3-C48 degradation lactol (6a, R = H) were attributed to its derivative lactol trideuteriomethyl ether (6c, R = CD3). Additionally, the revised absolute configurations of six stereogenic centers (C8, C9, and C28-C31) were confirmed.
