In 1996 Tanaka and Higa reported the isolation, partial structure elucidation, and biological activity of (-)-zampanolide, an architecturally novel macrolide from the Okinawan sponge Fasciospongia rimosa (Scheme 1). 1 Key structural elements include the highly unsaturated framework and the uncommon N-acyl hemiaminal side chain. 2 Adding to the structural complexity, only the relative stereochemistry between C (11), C (15), and C (19) had been assigned. Although the extreme scarcity of (-)-zampanolide precluded a comprehensive evaluation of the biological profile, the impressive cytotoxicity against P388, HT29, A549, and MEL28 cell lines (IC50 1-5 ng/mL), in conjunction with the interesting architecture, prompted us to launch a synthetic program targeting this metabolite. Herein, we disclose the first total synthesis and tentative stereochemical assignment of the nonnaturally occurring antipode,(+)-zampanolide (1). Retrosynthetically, disconnections of 1 at the amide, the macrolide, and the C (2-3), C (8-9), and C (17-18) linkages gave rise to fragments C (3-8) A, C (9-17) B, C (18-20) C, and C (1′-6′) D. In the forward direction, we envisioned construction of the macrolide via Kocienski-Julia olefination3 of aldehyde A with sulfone B, followed in turn by nucleophilic opening of epoxide C with a higher-order cuprate4 derived from AB, incorporation of a C (1-2) acyl phosphonate, and intramolecular Horner-Emmons macrocyclization. 5 Highlights of the closing stage of the synthesis would then entail installation of the N-acyl hemiaminal moiety via a stereospecific Curtius rearrangement6 of R-alkoxy acid 2 followed by acylation with acid chloride D. To assemble fragment B we elected the Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement, 7 recently established in our laboratory as a powerful, stereocontrolled entry to cis-2, 6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans. 8 Toward this end, Brown asymmetric allylation9 of aldehyde 310 (Scheme 2) followed in turn by TES protection of the hydroxyl and ozonolysis afforded (+)-4, which upon oxidation11 and desilylation led to β-hydroxy acid (-)-5 (57% yield, five steps). Bis-silylation12 followed by union with (2E)-3-bromobut-2-enal13 promoted by TMSOTf 14 furnished dioxanone (+)-6 in 82% overall yield [10: 1 at C (15)]. Methylenation with the Petasis-Tebbe reagent15 then furnished the corresponding enol ethers [72% yield, 6: 1 at C (15)], which upon treatment with Me2AlCl8 underwent the desired Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement7 to deliver cis-pyranone (+)-7 in 59% yield. 16 Ketone methylenation, desilylation, incorporation of the thiotetrazole via Mitsunobu reaction, 17 and oxidation18 proceeded smoothly to afford sulfone (-)-B (62% yield, 4 steps).Construction of subunits A and C was achieved as outlined in Scheme 3. 19 Noteworthy is the stereoselective20 installation of the C (4-5) olefin in subtarget A. With the requisite subtargets in hand, assembly of the macrolide began with the Kocienski-modified3 Julia olefination21 of aldehyde
