The zoanthamine alkaloids, a family of marine metabolites produced by the zoanthid Zoanthus sp., not only have a novel array of structures with stereochemical complexity, but also exhibit distinctive biological and pharmacological properties. For example, norzoanthamine (1), isolated from the colonial zoanthid Zoanthus sp. by Uemura et al., can suppress the loss of the weight of, and strengthen, bones in ovariectomized mice without problematic side effects [1] and thus is a promising candidate for an anti-osteoporotic drug. Furthermore, zoanthamine (2), isolated by Rao, Faulkner and co-workers, exhibits potent inhibitory activity toward phorbol myristateinduced inflammation, along with powerful analgesic effects.[2] The remarkable biological properties of norzoanthamine and zoanthamine, combined with their novel molecular architectures, make this family of alkaloids extremely attractive as synthetic targets.[3] As part of our ongoing synthetic studies of the zoanthamine alkaloids, we have achieved the first total syntheses of 1 [4a, c] and 2.[4c] These syntheses involved a stereoselective synthesis of the crucial triene precursor using sequential three-component coupling reactions, a key intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, and subsequent bis-(amino) acetalization as the key synthetic steps.[4a] Recently, Kobayashi and co-workers reported the second total synthesis of 1, which involved an elegant intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction for the construction of the AB ring system as the key step.[5]Having achieved the efficient chemical syntheses of norzoanthamine and zoanthamine, we focused on the synthesis of zoanthenol (3),[6] a member of the zoanthamine alkaloids which is unique as it has an aromatic ring. As with the norzoanthamine derivatives, zoanthenol has been found to exhibit potent anti-platelet activity for human platelet aggregation.[7] In spite of synthetic studies by a number of research groups, employing a variety of distinct strategies, the total synthesis of 3 has yet to be successfully completed.[8–10] Herein, we report the first total synthesis of zoanthenol 3, using a synthetic intermediate 11 in our synthesis of 1,[4a, c] and the development of an efficient synthetic route from the commercially available norzoanthamine hydrochloride (1· HCl) to 3.
