The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic berkeleylactone A is described in 10 steps with an overall yield of 9.5%. A key step of our concise route is a late-stage, highly diastereoselective, sulfa-Michael addition. The 16-membered macrocyclic lactone was formed via ring closing metathesis and subsequent chemoselective reduction. The absolute stereochemical configuration was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Synthetic berkeleylactone A was tested against several methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains, and its potent antibacterial activity was verified.
本文描述了强效抗生素伯克利内酯 A 的首次全合成,共 10 步,总收率为 9.5%。我们简洁路线的关键步骤是晚期、高度非对映选择性的砜迈克尔加成。通过闭环复分解和随后的化学选择性还原形成 16 元大环内酯。通过单晶 X 射线分析确定了绝对立体化学构型。合成的伯克利内酯 A 对几种耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌菌株进行了测试,验证了其强大的抗菌活性。
