Abstract

The first total synthesis of phacelocarpus 2-pyrone A is reported. The original natural compound was tentatively assigned (by NMR spectroscopy) as containing two cis-alkenes and a trans-vinyl ether connected to a 2-pyrone ring motif. Our computational predictions indicated that a cis-vinyl ether motif was equally feasible. Attempts to prepare the trans-vinyl ether were met with no success. The all cis-target compound was synthesised in nine steps, employing key regio- and stereoselective reactions including AuI-catalysed vinyl etherification, Wittig alkenylation and end-game Stille macrocyclisation. Analysis of the NMR data enabled identification and confirmation of the correct structure of phacelocarpus 2-pyrone A, containing a cis-vinyl ether. Our studies pave the way for future development of methodologies to these structurally distinct pyrone skipped-polyenyne natural products.
