This account describes our group’s latest research in the field of diversity-oriented synthesis of natural products via gold-catalyzed cascade reactions. We present two general strategies based on gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization: a gold-catalyzed cascade reaction of 1,7-diynes and a pinacol-terminated gold-catalyzed cascade reaction. We highlight our development of synthetic methods for the construction of biologically active natural products by using these two strategies.1 Introduction2 Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions of 1,7-Diynes2.1 Collective Synthesis of C15 Oxygenated Drimane-Type Sesquiterpenoids2.2 Synthesis of Left-Wing Fragment of Azadirachtin I2.3 Collective Synthesis of Cladiellins3 Pinacol-Terminated Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reaction3.1 Asymmetric Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Cortistatins3.2 Total Synthesis of Orientalol F3.3 Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (–)-Farnesiferol C4 Summary and Outlook

Abstract An asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-21-epi-eburnamonine has been achieved. Key features of the synthesis include a visible-light photocatalytic intra-/intramolecular radical cascade reaction to assemble the tetracyclic ABCD ring system, and a highly diastereoselective Johnson-Claisen rearrangement to establish the C20 all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.

AbstractFull details of the asymmetric total synthesis of erythro-8-O-4′-neolignan, machilin C, and its analogue perseal A are reported. The synthesis was involved in the Sharpless dihydroxylation reaction that occurred with excellent asymmetric induction, and the Mitsunobu reaction which occurred with inversion of the absolute configuration from the threo to the erythro isomer. The synthesis was achieved from simple vanillin in eight to twelve steps.

A concise stereoselective approach to functionalized δ-lactone skeleton from monosilylated ethylene glycol as a starting material and its application to the asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-trans-aerangis lactone have been demonstrated. The synthesis utilizes the organocatalyzed MacMillan’s cross aldol reaction as a key step.

The first asymmetric total synthesis of fungal secondary metabolites, (R)-nodulone C (4) and trans-nodulone D (5) has been reported through the chemoenzymatic approach. The strategy utilizes NADPH-dependent naphthol reductases of Magnaporthe grisea for the reduction of putative biosynthetic substrates, synthesized non-enzymatically in multiple steps. A dihydronaphthalenone 32 and cis-nodulone D (30) has also been synthesized chemoenzymatically. The work implies for similar steps during the biosynthesis of nodulones and their analogs with the involvement of tetrahydroxynaphthalene reductase related enzyme(s).
