Central to this venture was the development of an effective synthesis of a key β-hydroperoxy epoxy ester from (R)-epichlorohydrin via chemoselective methylenation with Nysted reagent in the presence of Ti(Oi-Pr)2Cl2 and chemo- and regioselective Mukaiyama–Isayama peroxidation. This approach also featured the construction of the 1,2-dioxolane ring system by an efficient base-promoted 5-exo epoxide opening by a hydroperoxy group.

The relevant key reactions involve a diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction, a regioselective hydroperoxysilylation, and elaboration of the 1,2-dioxane ring by intramolecular Michael addition of a hydroperoxide group to a butenolide. This synthesis allowed the revision of the absolute configuration of plakortolide I and structural revision of plakortolide E.

The first one involved as a key step an acid catalyzed 6-endo ring closure of b-hydroperoxy trans-epoxides directed by a vinyl group adjacent to the epoxide function. By this route, an advanced intermediate of plakortolides was obtained in six steps and 35% overall yield. The second approach featured a 1,2-dioxane ring forming by a double opening of bis-epoxides by ethereal hydrogen peroxide. This reaction did not proceed in the expected sense and exclusive formation of hydroperoxy tetrahydropyran derivatives was observed via a tandem oxacyclizationehydroperoxidation sequence.

We propose that the name "plakortolide I" should be retained for the plakortolide metabolite 5 first isolated by the Faulkner group; its enantiomer 4 can then be named ent-plakortolide I in line with the description of Barnych and Vatèle. The spectroscopic data for MPA esters prepared from synthetic samples of seco derivatives of plakortolide E (3) and ent-plakortolide I (4) were compared with those of MPA esters of seco derivatives from naturally isolated plakortolides L (1) and K (2) and of seco-plakortolide E (6a). Likewise, the spectroscopic data for MTPA esters derived from 3 and 4 were compared with data for the MTPA esters derived from 5. These various comparisons established that the sign of the specific rotation associated with the natural isolates is an unreliable indicator of absolute configuration and verify that the absolute configurations of plakortolides L (1), K (2), E (3), and I (5) are (3S, 4S, 6S), (3R, 4R, 6S), (3R, 4R, 6R), and (3S, 4S, 6R), respectively.

Acid-sensitive protecting groups such as methylidene, isopropylidene, acetals, and Boc are unaffected under the reaction conditions. Another feature of this procedure is its high selectivity for TBDMS ethers over tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ethers and of aliphatic TBDMS groups over phenolic TBDMS groups.

The basicity of the dialkylamino group influences the phosphorylation markedly, with pyrrolidine being the amine of choice. It was found that a solvent and the ratio of triethylamine play a significant role in phosphorylation. Although chloro- and dichlorophosphine derivatives proved impossible to separate as individual compounds; their solutions can be successfully used for further transformations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
