Published: April 2013

Concise and protecting-group free synthesis of ent-palmyrolide A and (-)-cis-palmyrolide A were achieved starting from commercially available (S)-citronellal. The key fragment of palmyrolide A, "(5S,7S)-7-hydroxy-5,8,8-trimethylnonanamide", which makes up the most challenging part of the target molecule, was prepared in just three steps. A plausible mechanism for the trans-cis isomerization of the double bond in the macrocycle has been investigated.

Palmyrolide A is a neuroprotective macrolide isolated by Gerwick and coworkers in 2010. This natural product is known to suppress neuronal spontaneous calcium ion oscillations through its voltage-gated sodium channel blocking ability which is of significant interest in CNS drug discovery. Herein, we give a detailed account on total synthesis of (+)-palmyrolide A and synthesis of a focused library of macrocycles around the scaffold, followed by their biological evaluation.

Full details of the total syntheses of the initially reported and revised structures of the neuroprotective agent palmyrolide A are reported. The key macrocyclization step was achieved using a sequential ring-closing metathesis/olefin isomerization reaction. Furthermore, the total synthesis of the related macrolide (2S)-sanctolide A is reported.

A full account of our synthetic work toward the first total synthesis of the neuroactive marine macrolide (-)-palmyrolide A is described. Our first-generation approach aimed to unlock the unknown C(5)-C(7) stereochemical relationship via the synthesis of four diastereomers of palmyrolide A aldehyde, a known degradation product. When these efforts provided inconclusive results, recourse to synthesizing all possible stereocombinations of the 15-membered macrolide was undertaken.
