Crambe crambe, a bright red encrusting sponge commonly found at shallow depths along the rocky coast of the Mediterranean, is a rich source of structurally novel, bioactive alkaloids. 2 Rinehart and co-workers3 and later Braekman and his group, 4 described a series of complex guanidinium alkaloids, including 13, 14, 15-isocrambescidin 800 (1), crambescidin 800 (2), and crambescidin 816 (3), from C. crambe. The related alkaloid, ptilomycalin A (4), was reported earlier by Kashman, Kakisawa, and co-workers from sponges collected in the Caribbean and Red Sea. 5 Ptilomycalin A5, 6 and several of the crambescidins3, 4 show substantial antitumor, antiviral, and antifungal activities. As a result of its low abundance, 13, 14, 15-isocrambescidin 800 has not been extensively screened, although it is reported to be less cytotoxic to L-1210 cells than other crambescidins. 3b The defining structural feature of the crambescidin alkaloids is a pentacyclic guanidine linked by a straight chain ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid spacer to a spermidine or hydroxyspermidine unit. Extensive NMR studies demonstrated that the relative stereochemistry of the pentacyclic cores of 2-4 is identical, 3, 4 while 13, 14, 15-isocrambescidin 800 (1) is epimeric at C13, C14, and C15. 3b, 4b The absolute configuration of the guanidine moieties of 1 and 3 was established by oxidative degradation of the oxepene rings of these alkaloids to yield (S)-2-hydroxybutanoic acid, 3b while the absolute configuration of the hydroxyspermidine unit of 3 was assigned using Mosher’s method. 4b, 7 Since 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts in the hydroxyspermidine fragments of 1 are nearly identical to those of 2 and 3, it has been assumed that the stereochemistry at C43 is the same for all crambescidins. 4b In 1995 we reported an enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-ptilomycalin A (4), which was the first (and to date only) total synthesis of a member of the crambescidin alkaloid family. 8, 9 Herein, we disclose an enantioselective total synthesis of 13, 14, 15-isocrambescidin 800 (1) which for the first time makes this rare member of the crambescidin family available for detailed pharmacological screening. The defining reaction of the synthesis is a tethered-Biginelli condensation10, 11 of guanidino aminal 14 with β-ketoester 15; this reaction unites all of the atoms of the guanidine core of 1 and sets the pivotal C10-C13 stereorelationship. 10bDiene 13, the precursor of the C1-C13 guanidino aminal, was prepared from 3-butyne-1-ol (5) as summarized in Scheme 1. The C3 stereocenter was introduced by the method of Weber and Seebach12 through condensation of ynal 6 with Et2Zn in the presence of (-)-TADDOL (20 mol%) and Ti (Oi-Pr) 4 to give (S)-7 in 94% yield and> 98% ee. Standard manipulations yielded iodide 8 which was converted to the corresponding lithium reagent and coupled with 913-15 to generate dienone 10 in 60-70% yield. Ketalization of 10 with ortho ester 1116 and 1, 3-propanediol in the presence of Amberlyst-15 provided 12 in 80% yield. Mitsunobu displacement of the secondary alcohol with azide, reduction to the primary amine, and condensation with 1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine hydrochloride17 furnished guanidine 13 in∼ 30% overall yield from 6.
