Euonymine (1) and euonyminol octaacetate (2) share the core structure of euonyminol (3), the most hydroxylated member of the dihydro-β-agarofuran family. In2, eight of the nine hydroxy groups of3are acetylated, and1has six acetyl groups and a 14-membered bislactone comprising a pyridine dicarboxylic acid with two methyl groups. The different acylation patterns provide distinct biological activities:1and2display anti-HIV and P-glycoprotein inhibitory effects, respectively. The 11 contiguous stereocenters and 9 oxygen functionalities of the ABC-ring system of1and2represent a formidable challenge, which is further heightened by the macrocyclic structure of1. Here we disclose an efficient synthetic strategy for enantioselective total synthesis of1and2. Starting from (R)-glycerol acetonide, we constructed the B-ring by an Et3N-accelerated Diels–Alder reaction, the C-ring by intramolecular iodoetherification, and the A-ring by ring-closing olefin metathesis. The 10 stereocenters were installed through a series of substrate-controlled stereoselective C–C and C–O bond formations by exploiting the three-dimensional structures of judiciously designed substrates. These newly developed reaction sequences led to protected euonyminol5, which served as a common intermediate for assembling1and2. Global deprotection of5and subsequent acetylation produced2. Alternatively, the discriminative protective groups of5allowed for site-selective bis-esterification to generate bislactone. Combining [3 + 2]-cycloaddition and reductive desulfurization introduced the last remaining stereocenters of the two methyl groups on the macrocycle. Finally, deprotection and acetylation gave rise to fully synthetic1for the first time.
