[2+2] Photocycloaddition/Fragmentation in the Synthesis of Guanacastepenes A and E Jennifer Chaytor November 2, 2006 University of Ottawa
Guanacastepene A • Isolated in 2000 • Produced by the endophytic fungus CR115 • Fungus isolated from the branch of a Daphnopsis americana tree from the Guanacaste Conservation Area in Costa Rica • Structure determined by NMR and X-ray crystallography • Mixture of two slowly interconverting conformers Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Singh, M.P.; Janso, J.E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 2116 Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Bondi, S.M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9900
Five Guanacastepene Ring Systems • CR115 produces a family of related but structurally diverse metabolites • 15 different guanacastepenes comprise five ring systems • All contain the 5-7-6 tricyclic guanacastepene skeleton Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Singh, M.P.; Janso, J.E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 2116 Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Bondi, S.M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9900
Potential New Antibiotics? • Guanacastepene A showed antibiotic activity against drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis • Guanacastepene I showed antibacterial activity towards S. aureus • C-15 aldehyde or masked aldehyde appears to be necessary for activity • Guanacastepene A also displays nonselective hemolytic activity against human blood cells • Suggests nonspecific membrane lysis is the mode of action Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Singh, M.P.; Janso, J.E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 2116 Clardy, J.; Brady, S.F.; Bondi, S.M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9900 Clardy, J.; Singh, M.P.; Janso, J.E.; Luckman, S.W.; Brady, S.F.; Greenstein, M.; Maiese, W.M.

Investigation Non-Cyclizing Reduction • Increased dilution favours cyclization – suggests intermolecular pathway • THF-d8 – no deuterium incorporation, no change in ratio of products • workup with D2O – no exchange of I for D no remaining vinyllithium • Is enolizable cyclopentanone serving as a proton source?
