FR182877 • Isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. No9885 in 1988 • Constitution and relative stereochemistry determined by NMR and X-ray crystallography • Absolute stereochemistry determined by advanced Mosher ester analysis • Initial absolute proposed was (+)-1; later changed to (-)-1 • Part of family of secondary metabolites that bind and stabilize cellular microtubules • Other Members: Taxol, Discodermolide, Epothilones • Shown to have similar activity to Taxol • Potential as chemotherapeutic agent • Has 12 stereocenters and strained bridgehead olefin that’s part of carbonate moiety • Synthesized because of its biological activity and reactivity of its strained olefin Taxol FR182877 Discodermolide Epothilone A Images Source: Wikipedia H.

The Beginning Hϋnig’s Base
Synthesis of 19-Membered Macrocycle Hϋnig’s Base Canonica, L.; Rindone, B.; Santaniello, E.; Scolastico, C. Tetrahedron1972, 28, 4395
Tandem Transannular Diels-Alder Reactions 7 NEW STEREOCENTERS FORMED!!!
The Final Steps! 2.09% Yield 22 Linear Steps
Large Scale Synthesis of the 19-Membered Macrocycle Used opposite enantiomers of small scale synthesis since it was found that the initially assigned absolute stereochemistry was incorrect!
Large Scale Synthesis of (-)-FR182877 a (a) NaHMDS, PhSeBr, <1 min, 23 °C, 89%, 10:1 dr. (b) mCPBA, CH2Cl2, -78 °C. (c) NaHCO3, CHCl3, 45 °C, 4 h, 61-66% of ent-62 over two steps (8-15% each of 63 and 64 also isolated). (d) PPTS, MeOH, 0 f 23 °C, 100%. (e) TFA/CH2Cl2 (1:9), 0 f 23 °C, 96%. (f) N-methyl-2-chloropyridinium iodide, Et3N, CH2Cl2/MeCN (9:1), 23 °C, 60% + 21% recovered starting material.
Conclusion • Both (+)-FR182877 and (-)-FR182877were synthesized • (-)-FR182877, the natural enantiomer, was synthesized on a large scale yielding 100 mg • There are 22 linear steps with 2.09% yield (+)-FR182877 (-)-FR182877
