A New Approach to Models of the 4,5-Dihydroxycyclopentenone Core of the Kodaistatins A-D : Elucidation of the Diol Configuration in Kodaistatin A

© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim..

The kodaistatins A-D are strongly anti-diabetic natural products from Aspergillus terreus that hold some promise of a novel diabetes cure. However, considerations of that kind face two drawbacks: 1) The kodaistatins A-D contain a heavily substituted pulvinone/cyclopentenone combination; 2) they are 1,2-diols, the 3D structures of which have not been assigned yet. However, we can exclude two of the four possible stereostructures. We conclude that kodaistatin A is a trans-, not a cis-diol from NMR comparisons with a pair of cis, trans-isomeric kodaistatin models, which we synthesized in 11 and 12 steps, respectively. The stereocenters of the diol moiety arose from stereocomplementary, highly diastereoselective aldol additions of a lithium enolate or the corresponding silyl ketene acetal. The cyclopentenone moieties stemmed from intramolecular aldol additions and ensuing dehydrations. The requisite enolates were obtained by the reduction of α-bromoketones with samarium diiodide.
