ATOM ECONOMY

Developed by Barry Trost (Stanford) as a way to “foster awareness of the atoms of reactants that are incorporated into the desired product and those that are wasted (incorporated into undesired products)” Can be used in addition, elimination, substitution,

rearrangement, catalytic cycles and many more! Trost, Barry M., The Atom Economy-A Search for

Synthetic Efficiency. Science 1991, 254, 1471-1477

Awarded the Presidential Green Challenge Chemistry Award in 1998 for his work

BARRY TROST AND ATOM ECONOMY

Goal: to reduce the waste in chemical reactions because unused reactants lead to:

Pollution Ineffective use of resources Increase in production costs

An example (http://domin.dom.edu/faculty/jbfriesen/chem254lab/atom_economy.pdf)

BRYOSTATIN BACKGROUND

Complex macrolactone natural products isolated from Bugula neritina and named bryostatin 1-20

Show anticancer activity and affects memory and cognition

Mode of activity still unknown, and difficult to test Limited availability- isolated Low yield from isolation- 18g from 14 tons of

bryostatin animal (1.6 x 10-4 % yield) Non-renewable source

Page 6: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BIOLOGY

First isolated in 1980 from extracts on bryozoan

Produced by symbiont bacteria on bryozoan larva- protects them from predation and infection

In vivo- act “synergistically” with other cancer drugs to change protein kinase C (PKC) activity PKC involved in phosphorylation and helps

control cell growth and regulate transcription

Increased memory retention of marine slugs by 500% Now investigated for treatment of Alzheimer’s

DIFFICULTIES OF SYNTHESIS

Three problems with synthesis Substituted tetrahydropyran rings (3!) Congested trans alkene Exo-cyclic unsaturated esters

As such, only threeBryostatins (7,2,3) have been synthesized

Page 8: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

EFFICIENCY OF BRYOSTATIN SYNTHESIS

Concise strategy using only 26 steps (36 if you begin with an aldehyde starting material)

Reasons for efficiency: Tandem reactions (Ru- catalyzed cross couplings

followed by Michael Addition) One-pot reaction forms starting material Difficult alkyne-alkyne coupling catalyzed by Pd

Further applications available because of “atom-economical and chemoselective approaches”

Page 9: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

WHY BRYOSTATIN 16?

There are 20 varieties of bryostatin, three of which have been synthesized so why 16? All other bryostatins (except 3, 19, 20) can be

achieved with slight alterations to 16, namely double bond 19-20

Onto the synthesis…

INSTALLATION OF THE TRANS ALKENE

Page 12: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

ONE POT REACTIONS

A main difficulty of this synthesis is the installation of a highly substituted trans alkene To avoid problems, this was built into the starting

material

CHEMOSELECTIVITY OF COUPLING RXN

Production of cis-tetrahydropyran driven by several factors

Compatibility of β,γ-unsaturated ketone with six- membered lactone

High reactivity of the unprotected alcohol

Use of correct solvent (Dichloromethane promotes higher conversion and less decomposition)

PALLADIUM CATALYZED CROSS COUPLING

Pd inserts into alkyne-hydrogen bond, carbometallation* and reductive elimination Carbometallation- term coined for chemical

process in which a metal-carbon bond is inserted into a carbon-carbon π bond

Illustrates a new way to construct macrocycles using carbon-carbon bond formation

Must keep concentrations low (~0.002 M) to avoid formation of dimer side products

CONCLUSIONS

Synthesis is stereoselective, chemoselective and atom-economical

Installation of trans alkene early in synthesis ensures further selectivity and avoids difficult installation later Others do this via Julia Olefination or RCM,

sacrificing efficiency and selectivity Using Pd catalyzed ring closure rather, a new

and novel carbon-carbon bond formation Tandem reactions add to efficiency and

chemoselectivity

WHAT IS TO COME

Structures 7 and 8 add to form ring B, but they must come from somewhere!

Also, where does 2 come from? Can we buy this?!

YES WE CAN!

Page 23: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

FURTHER DOWN THE LINE

We now have structure 5, but this isn’t the final product just yet!

Addition to 4 gives the final product. But WAIT! Where did 4 come from?

Page 24: Bryostatin 16 Total Synthesis

WE MADE IT OF COURSE!

In 3 easy steps, we have the final material needed to form Bryostatin 16

Now for some mechanisms…

Alkynylation to synthesize 15

Bestmann modification

The Ohira-Bestmann modification gives terminal alkyne in high yield, and allows the conversion of base-labile substrates such as enolizable aldehydes, which would tend to undergo aldol condensation under the Seyferth-Gilbert conditions.
