Rishirilides B and A were isolated from Streptomyces rishiriensis OFR-1056 in 1984 by Naki and co-workers. 3 They exhibit antithrombotic activity4 through selective R2-macroglobulin inhibition, thereby leading to the activation of plasmin. Rishirilide B is substantially more potent than A in this assay. The structure of rishirilide A (although not its absolute configuration) was established, by crystallographic means, to be 2. The assignment of structure 1 to rishirilide B was not supported by crystallographic data, but was rendered under the assumption of its biogenetic connectivity to 2. In addition to their novel mechanism of action, impinging on a crucial biological cascade, the structures of the rishirilides interested us as focusing targets for total synthesis. Recently, we have described the use of systems 3 as viable equivalents of quinodimethides (4) for intermolecular cycloaddition reactions with a range of dienophiles (Scheme 1). 5 With peri-substituents (R1* H), as in 3b, 5a, or 5b, the rate of cycloaddition is significantly reduced. Although substituted cyclohexenones failed to react usefully with 5, we nonetheless proposed the synthetic route to rishirilide B shown in Scheme 1 (vide infra). 6Central to the success of the proposal was the need to deal with the serious retardation effect of peri-substituents required to reach the C6 phenolic hydroxyl of 1. In particular, we sought to exploit a discovery of Masamune, 7 wherein a strategically placed hydroxyl group could enhance the dienophilicity of an acyclic R, β-unsaturated ketone, presumably by internal hydrogen bonding. We wondered whether the Masamune effect could be realized with an R′-hydroxylated cyclohexenone, to the extent that it would react with quinodimethide precursors such as 5. This line of conjecture led to the selection of 66 to serve as a putative dienophile. In this modeling phase, we used the readily prepared8 5a as the presumptive quinodimethide precursor. In the event, reaction of 5a and 6 did occur at 160 C over 15 h (Scheme 2). The crude cycloadduct was treated with camphorsulfonic acid in methanol under reflux, providing a 65% yield of 7. In the next step, the β-disposed hydroxyl group of 7 cleanly directed the reaction of isoamylmagnesium bromide to the β face of the ketone to afford 8 (mp 128-129 C) in 70% yield. The structure of this compound was verified by X-ray crystallography.
