First Total Synthesis of (+)-Secosyrin 1 Chisato Mukai,* Sameh M. Moharram, and Miyoji Hanaoka* l%eultyof PharmaceuticalSciences,KrmazawaUniversity Takara-machi,Kanazawa920,Japan
total synthesis of (+)-secosyrin 1, isolated from P. syringae.pv. tomato, was Abstract: The first accomplishedin a stereoselectivemanner from diisopropylD-tsrtrate. ‘l%issynthesisunambiguously establishedthe sterewhemisq of (+)-seeosyrin1.0 1997Hsevier Science Ltd.
Secosyrins1 and 2 (1 and2) have a l,7-dioxsspiro[4.4]nonane frameworkand arecoproductsof novel nonproteinaceousC-glycosideelicitorssyringolides1 and 2 (3 and4), isolatedfromP. syringae pv. tcwnato.1 IMonocyclicsyributins1 and 2 (5 and 6) were alsoisolatedfromthe samemedium.lbAlthoughthese simpler four products (1, 2, 5, and 6) are not active elicitors in sharp contrast to structurally more complex syringolides,they are of particularintexestfor understandingtheirbiosyntheticpathway.Syringolideshaveso far been synthesizedby five groups2and the first synthesisof syributin1 (5)2ehas been recordedlately.We describehereinthe first stereoselectivetotal synthesisof (+)-secosyrin1 (1) fromdiisopropylD-tartratein a stereoselectivefashion,whichenabledus to establishits stereochemistryunambiguously.

o 3: eynngolideI(n = 4) 4: syringolide2(n = 6)
5: syributinI(n = 4) 6 : syributin2(n = 6)
The hydroxycompound7,3derivedfromdiisopropyltartrate,was successivelyexposedto oxidation, acetylide addition,and oxidationconditionsto give the ynonederivative8. The rddolreactionof 8 with the lithiumenolateof tert-butylthioacetateeffectedstereoselectiveintroductionof C2-componentto yield9 in 94% yield.It beeameapparentthat the stereochernistryd of the newlyconstructedquatemarycarboncenterof 9 was notin accordancewiththatof 1. Tetrahydrofuranringformationaccompanyingisomerizationof thequatemary chiralcenterwas realizedby takingadvantageof aIkyne-cobaltchetuistry.sUpontreatmentwith C02(CO)8, 9 affordedthe cobalt complex,whichwas subsequentlyexposedto BF3*OEt2in CH2C12at room temperature producing,afterdecomplexation,10 withthe desiredstereochemistryin 74%yieldfrom9 togetherwiththe 2epimer(15%)(10: 2-epimer= 83 : 17). 251I

With 10 possessing proper stereochemistryin hand, the next stage of our synthesis was faced to efficientconstructionof the spiro@ctone moiety.Half-reductionof 10withLindhucatalystfurnishedthecisolefin,ozonolysisof whichwas followedby sua.xxsivetreatmentwithNaBH4and DBUto providethe spiro derivative 11. Finally 11 underwent debenzylationto give the diol, which was acylated with hexanoic anhydrideto give (+)-secosyrin1 (l)[[(x~x+48.2°(c 0.12,CHC13)]6alongwith the diacylatedderivative12. IH-NMRsw~m of syn~etic(+)-secoSyrin1 was in agreementwith that of naturalone.lb TM, we have complete&thefirst total syn@esisof (+)-secosyrin1.7This synthesisdisclosesthat (+)-secosyrin1 shouldbe depicted as (3R,4S,5R)-4-hexanoyloxy-3-hydroxy-l,7-dioxaspiro [4.4]nonan-8-one,while (-)-secosyrin 1 shouldhaveits mirrorform.
