This study provides a thorough account of the evolution of the first total synthesis of (+)-cornexistin. Utilizing a chiral-pool strategy, the challenges of low yields and difficulties in stereocenter installation were successfully addressed. Key steps included an intermolecular NHK coupling, a syn-Evans-aldol reaction, an intramolecular allylic alkylation, and a stepwise hydrolysis of a beta-keto nitrile.
Herein is given a full account of the evolution of the first total synthesis of (+)-cornexistin. Initial efforts were based on masking the reactive maleic anhydride moiety as a 3,4-substituted furan and on forming the nine-membered carbocycle in an intramolecular Conia-ene or Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) reaction. Those strategies suffered from low yields and were jeopardized by a late-stage installation of the Z-alkene, as well as the stereocenters along the eastern periphery. These issues were addressed by employing a chiral-pool strategy that involved construction of the crucial stereocenters at C2, C3 and C8 at an early stage with installation of the maleic anhydride as late as possible. The successful approach featured an intermolecular NHK coupling to install the Z-alkene, a syn-Evans-aldol reaction to forge the stereocenters along the eastern periphery, an intramolecular allylic alkylation to close the nine-membered carbocycle, and a challenging stepwise hydrolysis of a beta-keto nitrile to furnish the maleic anhydride.
