The right-hand heterocyclic cores of oxazolomycins having either 16R or 16S-methyl group configurations on the b-lactones were stereoselectively synthesized from the common intermediate utilized for our previous syntheses of neooxazolomycin and oxazolomycin A. In addition, the right-hand segment required for the synthesis of KSM-2690 and lajollamycin members was also synthesized in a stereoselective manner. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The oxazolomycin family of antibiotics identified to date includes neooxazolomycin,1 oxazolomycins A-C,1,2 16methyloxazolomycin,3 curromycins A and B,4 KSM-2690 B and C,5 lajollamycin,6 and lajollamycin B-D7 (Fig. 1). These oxazolomycins are of great interest8 due to the synthetically challenging structures and wide-ranging biological activities such as antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor activities.9 The characteristic b-lactone-g-lactam motif draws much attention due to the structural similarity with the pharmacophores of omuralide and salinosporamide A, representative 20 S proteasome inhibitors.10 Therefore, a number of efforts have been dedicated towards the synthesis of oxazolomycins.8,11,12 However, among these twelve members, only neooxazolomycin13,14 and oxazolomycin A15 have been successfully synthesized so far. In this context, the development of a comprehensive synthetic methodology applicable to most members of the oxazolomycin family is in high demand. We utilized neooxazolomycin core 1 as a common intermediate for the constructions of the key right-hand segments 2 and 3 in our convergent syntheses of neooxazolomycin and oxazolomycin A13b,15 (Scheme 1). To further extend this methodology to the synthesis of other oxazolomycins, we studied the stereoselective

constructions of the right-hand spiro-b-lactone-g-lactam cores 4 and 5 having either 16S or 16R-methyl group configurations from 1, which are found in 16-methylated members of the oxazolomycin family. Donohoe and co-workers reported the synthesis of the right-hand core having a 16R-methyl group, and this has been the only approach for 16-methylated oxazolomycins.16 In addition, we studied the synthesis of the right-hand segment 6 which are required for the syntheses of KSM-2690 and lajollamycin members. 2. Results and discussion We first examined the stereoselective introduction of a methyl group at the C16 position of the neooxazolomycin core 1 (Scheme 2). Upon Dess-Martin oxidation followed by Grignard reaction using methylmagnesium bromide at 78  C in THF, 1 was found to afford 16S-isomer 7 and 16R-isomer 8 in a ratio of 3:1 in 65% total yield. The reaction using methyllithium in Et2O at 40  C produced a 4:1 mixture of 7 and 8 in low yield (25%). In this case, the lactone carbonyl also partially reacted with methyllithium. The C16 configurations of both isomers were unambiguously determined by the modified Mosher's method.17 The preferential production of 7 over 8 in the Grignard reaction can be explained by assuming chelated intermediate 918 where the si face attack of MeMgBr is favored because the re face is more shielded by the sterically demanding Nmethylpyrrolidinone moiety. The major isomer 7 was then converted to MOM ether 10 which, upon NaBH4 reduction followed by

silylation, gave diol 11 in 64% yield. The subsequent methyl etherification of 11 was achieved using Meerwein's reagent and a proton sponge19 to give methyl ether 12, desilylation of which afforded 13 in 67% yield. Upon Jones oxidation followed by Pinnick oxidation and ZrCl4-mediated cleavage of the MOM protecting group,20 13 afforded hydroxy acid 14. Treatment of 14 with 1-[bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo [4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxide hexafluorophosphate (HATU)21 and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) in THF at room temperature allowed us to obtain the right-hand core 4 with a methyl group of 16S configuration in 45% yield in 4 steps. On the other hand, the right-hand core 5 with a methyl group of 16R configuration was also prepared from the neooxazolomycin core 1 stereoselectively (Scheme 3).

Thus, compound 1 was protected as its MOM ether to give 15 quantitatively. The lactone ring of 15 was reduced with NaBH4 to give the corresponding triol, the primary alcohol of which was protected as its TIPS ether to afford 16 in 94% yield. Methyl etherification of 16 was undertaken in the same manner as described for that of 11 to give 17 in 70% yield. ZrCl4-mediated cleavage of the MOM protecting group of 17 occurred cleanly to afford 18 in 86% yield. After Swern oxidation of 18, the aldehyde was subjected to Grignard reaction using methylmagnesium bromide at 78  C in THF to give 19 as a 1:11 mixture of 16S and 16R-isomers in 69% yield. In this case, the observed high diastereoselectivity can be understood by assuming chelated intermediate 20 where the highly bulky (TIPSoxy)methyl group hinders the si face attack of MeMgBr. Without separation of the stereoisomers, 19 was desilylated with TBAF to give triol 21 quantitatively, the primary alcohol of which was selectively converted into a carboxylic acid by TEMPO oxidation followed by Pinnick oxidation to afford hydroxy acid 22. In the same manner described for the condensation of 14, 20 was treated with HATU and Hünig's base in THF at room temperature to give 4 and 5 in 6% and 61% yields in 3 steps, respectively, after chromatographic separation. It is important to note that compound 4 showed an NOE between 16-Me and N-Me as observed for 16methyloxazolomycin3a but compound 5 did not; instead, it exhibited an NOE between 16-H and N-Me as observed for lajollamycin6 (Fig. 2). With intention of synthesizing both KSM-2690 and lajollamycin members, we then investigated the preparation of the right-hand

segment 6 following the methodology we have developed in the synthesis of oxazolomycin A15 (Scheme 4). Thus, crude hydroxy acid 22 obtained from triol 21 was selectively esterified with triisopropylsilyloxymethyl (dodecyl)sulfane22 in the presence of CuBr2, tetra-n-butylammonium bromide, and triethylamine to give 23 as an epimeric mixture in 68% yield from 21. After protection of 23 as the dioxasilinane and hydrogenolytic debenzylation of 24, the 16S/R-epimers became separable to afford 25 and 26 in 8% and 91% yields, respectively. Dess-Martin oxidation of 26 gave aldehyde 27 in 90% yield, which was then subjected to Nozaki-Hiyama-TakaiKishi reaction23,24 with dienyl iodide 28 to produce a 1:1 mixture of 6 and its 7S-epimer. The epimeric mixture was then successively subjected to Dess-Martin oxidation to give ketone 29, which, upon L-selectride reduction, afforded a 16:1 mixture of 6 and the 7 Sepimer. Chromatographic separation of the epimeric mixture allowed us to obtain the desired right-hand segment 6 in 31% overall yield from 27.

The stereoselective routes to right-hand heterocyclic cores of oxazolomycins having either 16S- or 16R-methyl group configurations have been developed starting from the neooxazolomycin core 1, which relied on a chelation-controlled Grignard reaction in a pyrrolidinone aldol system. Furthermore, the right-hand segment 6 required for the syntheses of KSM-2690 and lajollamycin members has been synthesized in highly stereoselective manner for the first time. The synthesis of lajollamycin employing 6 is currently under investigation.

Column chromatography was performed using silica gel (particle size 100e210 mm (regular) or 40e50 mm (flash)). Optical rotations were recorded on a digital polarimeter at ambient temperature. Infrared spectra (FTIR) were measured on a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. 1H NMR (400 MHz) and 13C NMR (100 MHz) spectra were measured using CDCl3 as solvent, and chemical shifts are reported as d values in ppm based on internal (CH3)4Si (0.00 ppm, 1H) or solvent peak CHCl3 (1H: 7.26 ppm; 13C: 77.0 ppm). Mass (MS) and high resolution mass (HRMS) spectra were taken in EI (dual focusing sector field) or FAB (dual focusing sector field) mode.

L-selectride reduction of 29 giving 6 To a solution of 29 (16.6 mg, 0.0178 mmol) in THF (1.0 mL) was added L-selectride (1.0 M in THF, 36 mL, 0.036 mmol) at 78  C, and the mixture was stirred at 78  C for 30 min. The reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl (3.0 mL), and the mixture was extracted with AcOEt. The extract was dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (hexane:AcOEt ¼ 2:1) to give a 16:1 mixture of 6 and its 7S-epimer (12.1 mg, 73%). Pure 6 (10.0 mg, 60%) was obtained as a colorless oil by further preparative TLC (toluene:AcOEt ¼ 4:1). Acknowledgments This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Numbers
