Here we report a computation-driven chemoenzymatic synthesis and biosynthesis of the natural product deoxyakanthomycin, an atropisomeric pyridone natural product that features a 7-membered carbocycle with five stereocenters, one of which a quaternary center. The one-step synthesis from a biosynthetic precursor is based on computational analysis that predicted a σ-bridged cation mediated cyclization mechanism to form deoxyakanthomycin. The σ-bridged cation rationalizes the observed substrate-controlled selectivity; diastereoselectivity arises from attack of water anti to the σ-bridging, as is generally found for σ-bridged cations. Our studies also reveal a unifying biosynthetic strategy for 2-pyridone natural products that derive from a common o-quinone methide to create diverse structures. Chemists and nature leverage inherent substrate reactivity to conduct stereoselective catalyst-free reactions – perhaps most notably exemplified by Stork’s synthesis of germine. More commonly, chemists and nature rely on catalyst development to control stereoselectivity, regioselectivity, and chemoselectivity in synthesis. In synthesis, a plethora of small molecule catalysts that select the reaction outcomes of complex molecules have been designed and implemented. In comparison, nature evolved a variety of enzymes to impose selectivity via noncovalent interactions. One such family is the recently discovered pericyclases that catalyze pericyclic reactions. Such enzymes can selectively generate complex molecular architectures from acyclic intermediates in a single step exemplified by the structural diversity in the 4-hydroxy 2-pyridone family of natural products (Figure 1). Previously, we have characterized the enzyme-catalyzed pericyclic reactions that lead to pyridone natural products. Herein, we describe natural products obtained from the exclusion of enzymes that control these reaction pathways and showcase nature’s use of inherent substrate reactivity to synthesize challenging-to-make molecular architectures. This work establishes a chemoenzymatic synthesis and biosynthesis of the natural product deoxyakanthomycin (1a and 1b).
