Total synthesis of (+)-geldanamycin and (-)-o-quinogeldanamycin with use of asymmetric anti- and syn-glycolate aldol reactions.
2002
Geldanamycin (GA), an antitumor Hsp90 inhibitor, was made for the first time by using an oxidative demethylation reaction as the final step. A biaryldioxanone auxiliary set the anti C11−12 hydroxy-methoxy functionality and a methylglycolate auxiliary based on norephedrine was used for the syn C6−7 methoxy-urethane. p-Quinone-forming oxidants, CAN and AgO, produced an unusual aza-quinone product. Nitric acid gave GA from a trimethoxy precursor in 55% yield as a 1:10 mixture with nonnatural o-quino-GA.
