Abstract
The total synthesis of amphidinolide B1 and the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 has been accomplished. Key aspects of this work include the development of a practical, non-transition metal mediated method for the construction of the C13-C15 diene, the identification of α-chelation and dipole minimization models for diastereoselective methyl ketone aldol reactions, the discovery of a spontaneous Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons macrocyclization strategy and the development of a novel late stage method for construction of an allylic epoxide moiety. The originally proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 and diastereomers thereof display potent anti-tumor activities with IC50 values ranging from 3.3 nM to 94.5 nM against human solid and blood tumor cells. Of the different stereoisomers, the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 is over 12-fold more potent than the C8,9-epimer and C18-epimer in human DU145 prostate cancer cells. These data suggest that the epoxide stereochemistry is a significant factor for anticancer activity.
Introduction
First reported in 1986, the amphidinolide family of natural products has long captured the attention of the scientific community.1 To date, over thirty members of this family have been isolated.2 Given their fascinating structures and diverse biological activity, these targets have attracted considerable attention in both the synthetic3,4,5 and biological communities.6
From this diverse broad collection of compounds, the amphidinolide B sub-family possesses some of the most intriguing structural features and biological activity. Kobayashi and co-workers reported the isolation of the 26-membered macrolide (amphidinolide B) from the dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. in small amounts (Figure 1).2b The planar original structure was proposed as compound 1. Subsequent reisolation by Shimizu and co-workers as well as structure determination through X-ray crystallographic analysis by Clardy and co-workers provided the relative stereochemistry of amphidinolide B (which was renamed amphidinolide B1) as compound 2.2c In addition, the location of the methyl moiety of the dienyl system was reassigned to the C15 position. Absolute configuration of 2 was later established via degradation.2d Shimizu and co-workers also reported the isolation of two related members of this family – amphidinolide B2 (3) & B3 (4) and proposed their structures based on analogy to 2 and comparison on NMR spectra. More recently, Kobayashi and co-workers reported the isolation of additional members of this subfamily – amphidinolide B4 and B5 (5 and 6)2e as well as amphidinolides B6 and B7 (not shown).2f Structurally related amphidinolides G and H [e.g. amphidinolide H1 (7) and amphidinolide G1 (8)] have also been reported.2p-r In particular, amphidinolide B1 (2) has proven to be the most cytotoxic member of the amphidinolide family - demonstrating impressive potency in early cancer screening [IC50 levels: L1210 murine leukemia cell line (0.14 ng/mL),2b human colon tumor HCT 116 cell line (0.12 μg/mL)2c and KB cancer cell line (4.2 ng/mL)].1f
In addition to the intriguing biological activity, macrolide 2 has a compelling architecture – nine stereogenic centers embedded within a 26-membered macrocycle including a reactive allylic epoxide moiety at C6-C9 and a highly substituted diene moiety at C13-C15. Consequently, this target 2 has attracted considerable synthetic attention from numerous laboratories7 including our own.8,9,10 In 2008, we reported the first total synthesis of amphidinolide B1 (2) as well as the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 (3) which we established to be incorrect.4 Subsequent to our efforts, Fürstner and coworkers published their synthesis of 2 in 20095 and more recently Nishiyama and co-workers completed their total synthesis in 2012.11 It should be noted that Fürstner reported the first syntheses of related amphidinolides G and H in 2007.3aa Herein, we disclose a full account of our work and the biological evaluation of synthesized analogues of amphidinolide B.
Results and Discussion
Our initial retrosynthetic strategy is shown in Scheme 1. We intended to install the fragile allylic epoxide moiety at a late stage from the corresponding C7-C9 enone motif. Macrolactonization of the corresponding seco acid 9 under Mitsunobu conditions12 could form the key 26-membered ring system. The C8-C9 bond would be accessible from a HWE olefination with the keto phosphonate 11 and aldehyde 10. The C18 stereogenic center could be constructed by a chelation-controlled aldol condensation between aldehyde 12 and α-benzyloxy ketone 13. The aldehyde 12 would be derived from the styrenyl compound 14 through a regioselective oxidative cleavage. The diene could be accessed from the coupling of an allylic metallo species such as 15 and the methyl ketone 16.
Synthesis of the nucleophilic components 24-25 and styrenyl compound 16 are shown in Scheme 2. The methyl ketone 16 could be prepared in 4 steps from (L)-lactic acid (17). Using Seebach chemistry,13 stereochemistry originally contained in the hydroxyl acid 17 was transferred cleanly to the lactone 20 with high levels of diastereoselecitivity. Treatment of the lactone with MeLi yielded the α-hydroxy methyl ketone which was protected as its TES ether 16. For the nucelophilic component 15, we envisioned multiple options including phosphonate 25 and Peterson-type approaches (e.g. 24). Starting from the commercially available oxazolidinone 21 and known iodide 22,14 Evans alkylation followed by reduction and protection generated the allyl silane 24. Bromination at C14 using NBS followed by Arbuzov reaction generated the allyl phosphonate 25 in 55% yield over two steps.
With the coupling partners in hand, we envisioned multiple options for their combination (Scheme 3). One of the initial approaches we explored was a phosphonate olefination strategy. Unfortunately, using a range of bases (n-BuLi, t-BuLi, s-BuLi, KHMDS) we were unable to facilitate the olefination. An alternative strategy involving a Peterson olefination could arise at the same target 26 Anions derived from allyl trimethylsilanes can attack a carbonyl electrophile through either α-attack or γ-attack.15 Using conditions developed by Magnus and co-workers,16 we observed exclusive formation of the vinyl silane product 27 derived from reactivity in the γ position. A modified procedure using MgBr217 failed to override this preference. While the vinyl silane product 27 is in theory still a viable intermediate in the synthesis of the diene 26, we were unable to facilitate the subsequent conversion to the target diene.18 We also explored a Sakurai-type approach19 to C-C bond formation using allyl silane 24. Treatment of 24 and 16 under a range of Lewis acidic conditions (e.g. TMSOTf, BF3•Et2O, Me2AlCl, AlMe3, SnCl4) did not provide any of the desired coupled material 28. Fortunately, treatment with freshly distilled TiCl4 did facilitate the C14-C15 bond construction in up to 65% yield and 6:1 dr (stereochemistry at C15 undetermined). While effective, this reaction did prove to be scale dependent (typically providing 50-65% yield at 0.65 mmol scale, but 20-30% yield at 2.0 mmol scale). Despite considerable effort to ascertain the nature of the scale dependence, we were unable to fully address this shortcoming. Consequently, this transformation was often run in parallel batches to bring through sufficient amounts of material. Subsequent elimination of the 3° alcohol 28 was best facilitated using SOCl2 and pyridine in toluene at -78°C to yield the desired diene in near quantitative yield as a 2.2:1 ratio of diene regioisomers (rr) (26:29). The diene rr was not impacted by use of a single C15 stereoisomer of alcohol 28. Use of alternate conditions (MsCl, POCl3, Tf2O, Burgess reagent, Martin’s sulfurane) led to no product formation or inferior levels of regioselectivity. While these diene regioisomers 26 and 29 were not readily separable by column chromatrogrpahy, removal of the silyl protecting group provided the corresponding regioisomeric diols 30 and 31 that were separable.
The functionalization of the polyene is shown in Scheme 4. Mitsunobu-type conversion of the C10 alcohol into the corresponding nitrile followed by silyl protection yielded 14. Next, we required the selective functionalization of the C18-C19 alkene in the presence of the less sterically hindered 1,1- disubstituted alkene at C13 and the more electron rich alkene at C14-C15. We had hoped that regioselective dihydroxylation at C18-C19 could be possible by exploiting a π-stacking interaction between the phenyl ring and aromatic systems present in Sharpless ligands. While this sort of phenomenon has been used previously to explain enhanced enantioselectivity20 and even diastereoselectivity21 in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, we were unaware of prior examples to exploit purely a regioselective directing effect. To our delight, the AD Mix β* [the * denotion represents higher percentages of K2OsO4•2H2O and (DHQD)2PHAL as compared to the commercial amounts] provided excellent regioselectivity for the desired location. As hypothesized, use of standard OsO4 / NMO conditions provided a complex mixture of products. Interestingly, AD Mix α* also proved to be a poor reagent of this transformation. While we can rationalize the poor outcome of the ligandless system, a rational for the reactivity differences between the pseudo-enantiomeric ligand systems is less obvious. One possible explanation may be that the C16 stereocenter exerts a pronounced influence on the conformation of the neighboring alkenes – resulting in a mismatched interaction between the (DHQ)2PHAL ligand in AD mix α and the desired alkene. It is also clear that a conformational change occurs between the unconjugated system 33 and the conjugated system 14 – dihydroxylation of polyene 33 results in a regioselective oxidation at C18-C19; however, the reaction does not show any diastereoselectivity. Periodate cleavage under standard conditions yielded the aldehydes 12 and 35.
Synthesis of the eastern subunit4 and southern fragment are shown in Scheme 5. Evans syn glycolate reaction between oxazolidinone 3622 and readily available aldehyde 378 provided the desired product in reasonable diastereoselectivity (7:1 dr) and good yield. After TES silylation, subsequent conversion to the thioester with lithium thiolate followed by cuprate addition yielded the methyl ketone 13. This strategy for synthesis of the C19-C26 subunit has been subsequently exploited by Früstner and co-workers.3aa,5 The carboxylic acid 11 was available in four straightforward steps from the commercially available ester 38.
With the subunits now constructed, our efforts shifted towards their combination. We were particularly focused initially on addressing the critical diastereoselectivity in the methyl ketone aldol reaction between 12 and 13. Prior to our entry into the field, Pattenden7e and Kobayashi7k had independently explored related coupling strategies with limited success (Scheme 6). In both cases, poor diastereoselectivity was observed (3:2 dr) as well as low chemical yield (50% in Kobayashi’s case, no chemical yield reported in Pattenden’s example). Stereocontrolling models for β-silyloxy aldehydes such as 40 and 44 have been proposed;23 however, it is unclear if the tertiary nature of the C16 silyl ether is compatible with that analysis. In addition, models have been developed for exploiting the stereochemical controlling nature of α-chiral ketones (albeit primarily on ethyl ketone substrates). We had hypothesized the poor stereocontrol in these pioneering examples by Pattenden and Kobayashi could be attributed to the absence of a chelating protecting group at C21, which rigidifies the facial selectivity of the enolate in the aldol transition state. Compelling evidence of the potential for this strategy can be found in Chakraborty’s related work towards amphidinolides G and H (which lack the C16 hydroxyl functionality).24 Pioneering precedent for the stereocontrolling ability of α-oxy enolates had been reported by Paterson,25 Heathcock26 and Masamune;27 however, the majority of the examples are on ethyl ketones. Aldol reactions using methyl ketones have been reported to proceed through both chair and boat transition states – which could lead to an erosion in stereoinduction.28 White,29 Trost30 and Evans31 reported some of the earliest successful examples in this area. Other laboratories have subsequently explored this transformation with varying degrees of stereocontrol.32
Our exploration into the diastereoselective aldol reaction is detailed in Scheme 7. We initially employed the unconjugated diene 35 as a model for the actual system. To our considerable disappointment, this substrate 35 performed poorly in the transformation – providing low diastereoselectivity (2:1 dr) in modest chemical yield (60%) (Eq. 1). Similar results were observed with the achiral aldehyde 3,3-dimethylbutanal (2-3:1 dr) (Eq. 2). Undeterred by these discouraging model studies, we next studied the conjugated diene system 12 (Eq. 3). We were delighted to see that this transformation proceeded with high levels of stereocontrol – we only observed a single diastereomer in 69% yield. The configuration of the newly established stereocenter was confirmed by advanced Mosher ester method.33 The subtle nature of the controlling influences of this aldol reaction warrants further comment. We are hesitant to put forth a model for the controlling influences of this transformation; however, it is important to note that both the tri-substituted alkene at C14-C15 and the chelating protecting group at C21 appear to work in concert to influence the stereochemical outcome of the aldol reaction. The C16 silyl ether does not appear to exert considerable influence as this chelation strategy has subsequently proven useful in amphidinolide G/H series by both Fürstner3aa,5 and Zhao34 which does not contain the C16 alcohol moiety.
The construction of the macrocyclization precursor is shown in Scheme 8. Silylation of the C18 alcohol proceeded smoothly with TBSOTf and a large excess of triethylamine.35 Interestingly, use of near stoichiometric amounts of an amine base [e.g. 2,6-lutidine (1.2 equiv.)] led to elimination (≈20%) and alkene isomerization (≈10%). Regioselective reduction of the C9 nitrile was accomplished with DIBAL-H. Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of the resultant aldehyde using Ba(OH)236 yielded the desired α,β-unsaturated ketone in good yield and excellent E/Z selectivity. Alternate conditions on related systems (DBU, LiCl or KHMDS, THF) were less effective for this olefination.37 Subsequent selective cleavage of the C25 TES ether produced the key Mitsunobu macrolactonization12 precursor. Unfortunately, this substrate was resistant to all effort to facilitate the macrocycle formation under these sterochemically invertive conditions.
Based on our frustrations with facilitating a successful Mitsunobu macrolactonization, we decided a reorganization of our strategy for macrocyclic formation was needed. Specifically, we turned to inverting the C25 stereocenter prior to coupling, forming the C1 ester bond in an intermolecular fashion and constructing the C8-C9 alkene through an intramolecular pathway. Towards this end, synthesis of a modified methyl ketone 54 was necessary (Scheme 9). Selective TES removal could be accomplished under aqueous acidic conditions in excellent yield. Martin’s modified Mitsunobu conditions proceeded smoothly to give the inverted C25 ester. Finally, saponification of the PNB moiety with Ba(OH)2•8H2O and methanol followed by TMS protection revealed the coupling partner 54.
Synthesis of the modified aldehyde coupling partner is illustrated in Scheme 10. Reduction of the C9 nitrile to its corresponding alcohol was accomplished via DIBAL-H reduction to the aldehyde followed by NaBH4 reduction to the alcohol and protection as its acetate. Regioselective functionalization at C18 was again accomplished using Sharpless AD conditions followed by periodate cleavage to reveal the C18 aldehyde.
While the original route to the aldehydes 12 and 57 was effective, it suffered from logistical practicality - notably the titanium-mediated coupling of the allyl silane proved to be a scale dependent reaction and the thionyl chloride elimination step gave a mixture of olefin products. Consequently, we sought to develop a more scalable approach to this subunit (Scheme 11). Starting from the commercially available Oppolzer sultam derivative 59, cuprate addition in accord with conditions developed by Paquette38 cleanly generated the key C11 stereocenter in compound 60. After functional group manipulation to provide aldehyde 61, we were gratified to find that key sequential Wittig / Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reactions cleanly introduced the triene 63 as a single stereoisomer. After DIBAL-H reduction, the resulting trienyl alcohol proved remarkably reactive to Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation conditions (proceeding at -78 °C to -50 °C) to provide epoxide 64. In fact, if this reaction was performed at higher temperatures (e.g. -20 °C), another product was observed that appeared to be the result of a 1,2-alkyl shift to produce an aldehyde.39 Subsequent Red-Al reduction provided the diol 65. Finally, protecting group exchange followed by 1° TES deprotection and oxidation provided the C9-C18 subunit 57. The high efficiency of this route (11.5% overall yield) provided us with access to gram quantities of aldehyde 57.
With these modified coupling partners in hand, we revisited our aldol coupling strategy (Scheme 12). We were pleased to observe that similar levels of diastereoselectivity continued to be observed using the LDA conditions (62% yield, >20:1 dr). Silylation of the C18 alcohol proved significantly more complicated than expected. Use of TBSOTf led to significant exchange of the C25 TMS ether to the corresponding TBS ether. Use of TESOTf minimized this problem – providing a 95% yield of a 5:1 ratio of the C25 TMS to C25 TES. Both of these compounds were productive intermediates and could be converted to the corresponding C25 alcohol using HOAc/THF/H2O conditions. Intermolecular Yamaguchi esterification provided the phosphonate 71. Next, removal of the C9 acetate was cleanly accomplished using Ba(OH)2•8H2O. Subsequent oxidation using TPAP provided the aldehyde cyclization precursor 73. Interestingly, this compound proved to be surprisingly reactive -leading to spontaneous macrocyclization under the TPAP conditions. Ba(OH)2•8H2O was added to drive this transformation to completion with an 85% overall yield from the alcohol 72.
With the macrocycle in hand, the remaining challenges to be addressed were the successful incorporation of the C6-C9 allylic epoxide and global deprotection (Scheme 13). CBS reduction40 proceeded smoothly to provide the desired allylic alcohol 75 in excellent diastereoselectivity. Subsequent Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation41 provided the desired epoxide 76 in 10:1 dr. Incorporation of the alkene could be best accomplished by inversion at C7 to provide the selenide 7742 followed by TPAP mediated oxidation43 to the selenoxide and syn elimination to yield the allylic epoxide as a single olefin geometry. Despite compelling precedent from Nicolaou and co-workers for a related deprotection in the synthesis of amphidinolide N,2v we were unable to effect PMB removal using DDQ under buffered aqueous or anhydrous conditions. Based on this unfortunate result, it became clear that an alternate C21 protecting group strategy was necessary to complete the total synthesis of amphidinolide B1.
We initially considered a 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl (DMB) protecting group as a viable alternative to the C21 PMB group as DMB groups are more readily oxidized by DDQ (Scheme 14). We synthesized the necessary C19-C26 subunit via an analogous route as described previously. Interestingly, aldol reaction with the C18 aldehyde 82 proceeded smoothly, but in significantly lower diastereoselectivity (4:1 dr). We are unsure as to the cause of this difference between the PMB and DMB series. Next, we explored the possibility of deprotecting the C21 DMB group using DDQ. Interestingly, treatment of 83 with DDQ under buffer aqueous conditions led to formation of the acetal 86 in modest yield, but as a single diastereomer. This product is likely the result of initial oxidation to the oxonium ion followed by nucleophilic attack by the C22 OTES ether. Subsequent silyl migration to the C18 position would produce the observed product 86. Despite this encouraging early result, we were unable to increase the chemical yield of this transformation through variation of oxidant or reaction conditions. Consequently, this approach was abandoned.
Given our setbacks with benzyl-derived protection at C21, we revisited our central strategy for stereocontrol at C18 through the C21 chelation model described previously (Scheme 15). Traditionally, silyl protecting groups are not viewed as moieties that participate in chelation;44 however, it is important to acknowledge work by Heathcock,45 Eliel and Frye,46 Willard47 and Evans48 which showed that silyl chelation is feasible under certain conditions. We were particularly drawn to Heathcock’s work in the area in which TMEDA was a key additive in their chelation-controlled aldol reaction (Eq. 1). Alternatively, a dipole minimization stereocontrol model produced the alternate facial attack on the aldehyde (Eq. 2). Silyl protection at C21 would simplify the endgame deprotection sequence and circumvent the problematic DDQ deprotection strategy.
The synthesis of the C21 silyl methyl ketone 98 is shown in Scheme 16. One attractive advantage to this strategy is that it greatly simplifies the synthesis of the methyl ketone as differential protection at C21 and C22 is no longer needed. Olefination of aldehyde 37 provided the α,β-unsaturated enone 93. Sharpless dihydroxylation under buffered conditions yielded the diol in good diastereoselectivity. Bis-silyl protection using TESOTf cleanly provided the tris-TES methyl ketone 95. The C25 TES could be cleanly removed using HOAc/THF/H2O conditions followed by inversion and protection as its C25 TMS ether.
Exploration of the key aldol reaction on the C21 silyl series generated intriguing results (Table 1). Initial studies with the C25 epimer 95 exhibited poor diastereoselectivity, but good reactivity under the Heathcock’s TMEDA conditions (Entry 1). It should be noted that the replacement of THF with Et2O led to a dramatic decrease in chemical yield (Entry 2). Interestingly, use of the required C25 stereochemistry for amphidinolide B led to a more stereoselective aldol process (Entries 3-6). If the reaction was conducted at -78°C, the transformation appeared to proceed through a dipole minimization model to yield the 18R stereochemistry as the major product (5:1 103:100). If the otherwise identical transformation was conducted at -40°C, the stereoselectivity for the transformation reversed to now favor the 18S stereochemistry. This divergent stereocontrol model could be attributed to reversible nature of aldol reactions.49 A similar phenomenon was observed with the aldehyde 57 (Entries 5 and 6). While unexpected, these results opened the door for the synthesis of both amphidinolide B1 and B2.

Synthesis of the macrocycle using the aldol products was accomplished based on close analogy to our C21 PMB series (Scheme 18). TES protection at C18 using TESCl / DMAP conditions followed by C25 desilylation revealed the C25 alcohol. Yamaguchi esterification followed by saponification of the acetate protecting group produced the C9 alcohol. As employed in our previous macrocyclization, TPAP oxidation produced the reactive aldehyde, which appeared to undergo spontaneous macrocyclization. The cyclization could be driven to completion by addition of Ba(OH)2•8H2O for 18S series and LiCl / Hunig’s base for the 18R series for optimal yields. While the yields for these macrocyclizations were not as high as the C21 PMB series, the ability to successfully close the macrocycle was gratifying. Fortuitously, macrocycle 109 produced crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis – thereby confirming the stereochemical assignment (Figure 2).
With the macrocycle in hand and the stereochemistry firmly established, the remaining hurdles for completing the synthesis were incorporation of the allylic epoxide moiety and global deprotection. We first advanced the 18S stereoisomer, which would lead to the synthesis of amphidinolide B2 (Scheme 19). CBS reduction produced the allylic alcohol in good diastereoselectivity. Although epoxidation under tartrate-mediated Sharpless conditions as used previously proved ineffective, titanium-mediated epoxidation (in the absence of tartrate ligand) produced the epoxide alcohols in modest diastereoselectivity (2:1 dr, 74% yield). Given the increased steric demands of the Ti-tartate complex, we attribute the reactivity difference between the C20 OPMB series and the C20 OTES series to a conformational change to the macrocycle, which increases the steric hinderance surrounding the allylic alcohol moiety. While we cannot rigorously assign the stereochemistry of the newly created stereocenters, they were assigned based on literature precedent.40,50 Incorporation of the selenide followed by TPAP-mediated oxidation and syn elimination provided the allyl epoxide 116. Unfortuantely, we were again unable to effect global desilylation under a range of conditions (e.g. TASF or HF•pyr). Fortunately, the ordering of the final events could be altered (global deprotection followed by syn elimination using TMSOOTMS for selenide oxidation) to reveal the proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 (3). It should be noted that the use of TMSOOTMS has not been previously reported for selenide oxidation / elimination. H2O2 was ineffective in this transformation – likely due to unwanted Baeyer-Villiger-type oxidation of the C20 ketone. To our surprise, the spectral data did not match the literature values for amphidinolide B2. We had presumed that the incorrect epoxide had been utilized. Consequently, we repeated the analogous endgame, but this product 114 also did not match the natural product. It became clear that the assignment of amphidinolide B2 was incorrect. Comparison of the synthesized material with the literature data revealed a large chemical shift difference for H14 [Isolation data: 5.93 (bs), Synthetic 3: 6.06 (bs), Synthetic 114: 6.08 (bs)] and H19a,b [Isolation data: 3.09 (dd, J = 2.3, 8.8 Hz, 1H) and 2.69 (dd, J = 8.6, 17.7 Hz, 1H), Synthetic 3: 3.05 (m) and 2.48 (dd, J = 8.0, 17.0 Hz), Synthetic 114: 2.90 (dd, J = 9.9, 17.1 Hz) and 2.45 (m)]. Careful inspection of the structure elucidation paper2c revealed that while amphidinolide B1 was assigned by crystallographic analysis, amphidinolide B2 was assigned based on analogy and comparison of the NMR spectra. We hypothesize that the actual structure of amphidinolide B2 likely contains the opposite stereochemistry at C16 (e.g. 117) – thereby maintaining a syn relationship between the two alcohols at C16 and C18.
The successful completion of amphidinolide B1 is shown in Scheme 20. Starting from the macrocycle 109, CBS reduction provided the allylic alcohol 118 in 74% yield (3.5:1 dr). Titanium-mediated epoxidation of the alkene was high yielding, but unselective (1:1.5 dr). Incorporation of the aryl selenide using previously described conditions followed by global deprotection and selenide oxidation / syn elimination yielded amphidinolide B1 (2). Comparison of the synthetic material with literature values showed excellent agreement (1H NMR, 13C NMR, [α]D). For analogue studies, we also carried the epimeric epoxide series onto 8,9-epi-amphidinolide B1 (121).
To assess the cytotoxic effects of the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 on human solid and blood cancer cells, cell viability assays were conducted using nine cancer cell line panel.50 Compound 3 differentially reduced cell viabilities at 0.1 μM in human DU145 prostate cancer, MDA-MB-435 breast cancer, Ly3 lymphoma, K562 CML, MOLT-4 ALL, Reh ALL, U266 myeloma, KG1a AML and HL60 AML cells (Table 2). To further understand these anti-tumor activities of amphidinolide B2, we determined IC50 values = 36.4 ± 2.9 nM, 94.5 ± 8.0 nM, 3.3 ± 0.9 nM and 7.4 ± 0.6 nM against DU145, MDA-MB-435, KG1a and HL60 AML cancer cells, respectively (Table 3). Next, compared the potency of compound 3 to C8,9 epimer 114 and C18 epimer 121 in DU145 prostate cancer cells, compound 3 exhibited over 12-fold increase in biological activity (Figure 3). These findings suggest that the stereochemistry of the epoxide plays an important role in eliciting potent anticancer effects.

Conclusion
In summary, the first total synthesis of amphidinolide B1 and the proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 has been achieved. In our initial approach to this family, we utilized a chelationcontrolled aldol reaction to provide excellent stereoselectivity at C18. Unfortunately, late stage removal of the PMB group proved not feasible in our hands. Consequently, a revised approach utilizing a dipole-minimized aldol provided access to a stereoselective aldol product. The stereoselectivity in this key aldol process could be controlled by variation of the temperature. Other highlights of the synthetic route include two non-metal catalyzed methods to construct the C13-C15 diene, a spontaneous HWE macrocyclization strategy and a novel late stage epoxidation / elimination strategy to incorporate the sensitive C6-C9 allylic epoxide moiety.
The proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 displays potent and stereoselective anti-tumor activities against human solid and blood tumor cells at low nanomolar concentrations that include highly aggressive and metastatic prostate and breast cancer cells. In contrast, C8,9-epimer and C18 epimer exhibit an over 12-fold decrease in anti-tumor activity in comparison. The stereochemistry of the epoxide plays a key role in the anticancer effects.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
General
Infrared spectra were recorded neat unless otherwise indicated and are reported in cm-1. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in deuterated solvents and are reported in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane and referenced internally to the residually protonated solvent. 13C NMR spectra were recorded in deuterated solvents and are reported in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane and referenced internally to the residually protonated solvent. HRMS data was collected using a TOF Mass Spectrometer.
Routine monitoring of reactions was performed using EM Science DC-Alufolien silica gel, aluminum-backed TLC plates. Flash chromatography was performed with the indicated eluents on EM Science Gedurian 230-400 mesh silica gel.
Air and/or moisture sensitive reactions were performed under usual inert atmosphere conditions. Reactions requiring anhydrous conditions were performed under a blanket of argon, in glassware dried in an oven at 120°C or by flame, then cooled under argon. Dry THF and DCM were obtained via a solvent purification system. All other solvents and commercially available reagents were either purified via literature procedures or used without further purification

- 52.The iodide was prepared from commercially available 2-(chloromethyl)allyl-trimethylsiliane [NaI (2.5 equiv), acetone (0.5 M), 16 h, flask covered in aluminum foil, r.t., 99%]. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.16 (s, 1H), 4.70 (s, 1H), 3.88 (s, 2H), 1.72 (s, 2H), 0.04 (s, 9H).
- 53.AD Mix β* = (DHQD)2PHAL (15.2 mg), K2OsO4•2H2O (2.55 mg), K2CO3 (293.6 mg), K3Fe(CN)6 (699.6 mg). Commercially available AD mix β proved to be slow and inefficient.
- 54.Preparation of LDA Solution: To a solution of diisopropylamine (101.9 mg, 0.14 mL, 1.0 mmol) in THF (0.46 mL) at −78°C was added n-BuLi (0.4 mL, 1.0 mmol, 2.5 M in THF). After 5 min, the white slurry was warmed to −10°C and stirred for an additional 15 min.
- 55.Titration of Grignard reagent: To a stirred solution of menthol (15.6 mg, 0.1 mmol) and 1,10-phenanthroline (2 mg) in THF (0.5 mL) was added prepared Grignard reagent solution until a burgundy color persists. The concentration was calculated using the formula: [RMgX] = 0.1 mmol / volume of added RMgX in mL. For the references, see: Lin H-S, Paquette LA. Synth Comm. 1994;24:2503. Watson SC, Eastham JF.
