Total synthesis of (+)-nakadomarin A
The total synthesis of (+)-nakadomarin A is described. A three-component cycloaddition of a hydroxylamine, aldehyde, and cyclopropane to form a highly functionalized tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine serves as the foundation for this synthesis. The resulting oxazine is formed as a single diastereomer with the absolute configuration being dictated by the chirality of the cyclopropane. Other key steps include: desymmetrization of a malonate by reduction, Heck cyclization and pyrrolidine formation, and ring-closing metathesis to form both cycloalkenes. Overall, the synthesis required 23 linear steps from the cyclopropane, which in turn is available (six steps) in optically pure form from commercially available D-mannitol.
