A concise and convergent total synthesis of the highly cytotoxic marine natural product apratoxin A is accomplished by an 18-step linear sequence. The high sensitivity of the thiazoline, bearing an adjacent P-hydroxyl group at the C35-position, results in the assembly process requiring the inclusion of appropriate protecting groups and the careful optimization o all individual transformations. In the synthesis of 3,7-dihydroxy-2,5,8,8-tetra-methylnonanoic acid (Dtena), three reagent-controlled asymmetric reactions enables us to introduce four chiral carbon centers in a dihydroxylated fatty acid moiety. Formation of the hindered ester and sterically-unfavorable N-methylamide bonds were successfully demonstrated. The thiazoline in apratoxin A was constructed by Tf2O and Ph3PO-mediated dehydrative cyclizatin, and final macrocyclizatin was achieved between N-methylisoleucine and proline residues. Moreover, an oxazoline analogue and a C34 epimer of apratoxin A have also been elaborated in a similar approach. This synthetic route would enable assembly of other analogues differing in stereo-centers of Dtena and their amino acids.
