Cylindrocyclophanes AF (1) are naturally occurring, cytotoxic [7.7]-paracyclophanes isolated by Moore and co-workers from the blue green alga, Cylindrospermum licheniforme Kützing (ATTC 29204). 1 The cylindrocyclophanes, along with the related nostocyclophanes AD, are the only known natural [7, 7]-paracyclophanes. 2 The first synthesis of a member of this family, cylindrocyclophane F (1F), was recently described by Smith and co-workers. 3 Here we report the synthesis of cylindrocyclophane A (1A), which includes two stereogenic and potentially reactive carbinol centers at the benzylic C (1) and C (14) positions. We envisioned the construction of the C2 symmetric macrocyclic core via head-to-tail dimerization of a bifunctional monomer 2 (Scheme 1). Macrocyclic dimerization by concurrent coupling4 of both AZ units to give 4 is inherently more efficient than stepwise coupling of differentially protected versions of 2 and subsequent macrocyclization of 3 following intervening deprotection. 3, 4, 5The synthesis proceeds in four steps (Scheme 2) from the known alcohol (5) 6 to the racemic allylic alcohol 9. Kinetic resolution (Amano P-30 lipase, vinyl acetate, hexane) gave (R)-acetate 10 [99.4% ee (chiral HPLC)]. 7 The recovered (S)-alcohol 9S could be reoxidized to enone 8 and recycled. The silylketene acetal derived from optically pure (R)-acetate 10 (KHMDS,-78 C; TBSCl) 8 smoothly underwent [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement at room temperature to give TBS ester 11. The ease of this rearrangement might originate with the lower
