The true creator is necessity, who the mother of our invention. — Plato IUPAC defines chemoselectivity as "the preferential reaction a chemical reagent with one two or more different functional groups", definition that describes in rather understated terms single greatest obstacle to complex molecule synthesis. Indeed, efforts synthesize natural products often become case studies art and science chemoselective control, skill nature has practiced deftly for billions years but man yet master....
The dimeric pyrrole imidazole natural products are a growing class of alkaloids with exotic connectivity, unique topologies, high nitrogen content, and exciting bioactivities. This full account traces the evolution strategy that culminated in first total syntheses several members this family, including sceptrin, ageliferin, nagelamide E, nakamuric acid (and its methyl ester), oxysceptrin. Details on fascinating conversion sceptrin to which has been used produce gram quantities sensitive...
Orchestrated yet nonconsonant: The challenge posed by the "umpoled" 1,4-dioxygenation pattern characteristic for polyketide frame of amphidinolide F was mastered a late-stage ring-closing alkyne metathesis followed directed transannular hydration under aegis carbophilic π-acid catalyst. This concordant strategy enabled concise total synthesis this enticing marine natural product. As service to our authors and readers, journal provides supporting information supplied authors.

Dimeric pyrrole–imidazole alkaloids represent a rich and topologically unique class of marine natural products. This full account will follow the progression efforts that culminated in enantioselective total syntheses most structurally ornate members this family: axinellamines, massadines, palau'amine. A bio-inspired approach capitalizing on pseudo-symmetry is recounted, delivering deschloro derivative product core. Next, synthesis chlorocyclopentane core featuring scalable, catalytic,...
Microwave-induced magic: There is a widely held conviction that the antiviral marine alkaloid ageliferin 1 arises biosynthetically from Diels–Alder reaction which, although possible, has yet to materialize in laboratory. A total synthesis of sceptrin now reported led new hypothesis for how and other dimeric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids might be formed nature.

Abstract The marine natural products amphidinolide C ( 1 ) and F 4 differ in their side chains but share a common macrolide core with signature 1,4‐diketone substructure. This particular motif inspired synthesis plan predicating late‐stage formation of this non‐consonant (“umpoled”) pattern by platinum‐catalyzed transannular hydroalkoxylation cycloalkyne precursor. key intermediate was assembled from three building blocks 29 , 41 47 (or 65 )) Yamaguchi esterification, Stille cross‐coupling...
Gifted with novel chemical features and extraordinary biological activity, sceptrin has remained a prominent unanswered synthetic challenge since its characterization in 1981 by Faulkner Clardy. A concise practical solution to the myriad of challenges posed is reported this Communication. Thus, through sequence involving rearrangement an oxaquadricyclane, new method for chemo- regioselective halogenation, mild 2-aminoimidazole formation, careful choreography, (±)-sceptrin obtained minimum...
Magische Mikrowellen: Allgemein nimmt man an, dass die Biosynthese des antiviralen marinen Alkaloids Ageliferin (1) über eine Diels-Alder-Reaktion verläuft – experimentelle Bestätigung steht allerdings noch aus. Eine Totalsynthese von 1 ausgehend Sceptrin führte nun zu einer alternativen Hypothese für und anderen dimeren Pyrrol-Imidazol-Alkaloiden.

Sceptrin, a natural compound produced by various marine sponges, was tested for its effect on cell motility. We report the first time that sceptrin inhibits motility in several cancer lines. The shows no toxicity at concentrations are double amount of required maximal inhibitory effect. Both random and factor-induced migration were impaired, suggesting targets central process machinery. Activity de novo synthesized indistinguishable from purified Agelas nakamurai, activity found to be, least...
Geglücktes Zusammenspiel: Das charakteristische "umgepolte" 1,4-Dioxygenierungsmuster im Polyketidgerüst von Amphidinolid F wurde durch eine Alkin-Ringschlussmetathese mit anschließender dirigierter transannularer Hydratisierung unter Anwendung eines carbophilen π-Säure-Katalysators späten Synthesestadium eingeführt. Auf dieser Strategie beruht kurze Totalsynthese des faszinierenden marinen Naturstoffs.
Absolutely without auxiliaries: The enantioselective syntheses of both enantiomers the dimeric pyrrole–imidazole alkaloids sceptrin and ageliferin have been achieved by a non-auxiliary-based route, which allows assignment absolute configuration natural ageliferin. "programming" oxaquadricyclane fragmentation leading to enantiopure tetrasubstituted cyclobutanes is crucial step in synthesis.
We have designed and developed novel selective TLR7 agonists that exhibited potent receptor activity in a cell-based reporter assay.
