Among my recent work on the syntheses of complex natural products based on the development of a novel synthetic method for the heteroaromatic skeleton, this article primarily deals with the total syntheses of (+)-CC-1065, isobatzeline A/B, and batzeline A. These syntheses were accomplished via a novel indole synthesis utilizing a ring expansion reaction of benzocyclobutenone oxime sulfonate as the key step. The 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole segments of (+)-CC-1065 were rapidly constructed via a two-directional double-ring expansion strategy.

Covering: 2012 to 2019HemN-like radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzymes have been recently disclosed to catalyze diverse chemically challenging reactions from primary to secondary metabolic pathways. In this highlight, we summarize the reaction examples catalyzed by HemN-like enzymes to date and the enzymatic mechanisms reported. From the recent mechanistic investigations, we reason that there is a shared initiating mechanism wherein a characteristic SAM methylene radical is proposed to abstract a hydrogen atom from an sp carbon or add onto an sp carbon center although variations occur thereafter from reaction to reaction, as well as providing a brief insight into some future prospects.

An indole synthesis via ring expansion of benzocyclobutenone oxime sulfonate was developed. Utility of the indole synthesis was demonstrated by the total synthesis of (+)-CC-1065. The middle and right segments were constructed by a sequential ring expansion of the symmetrical benzo-bis-cyclobutenone.

A radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine enzyme and a methyltransferase catalyze cyclopropane formation in natural product biosynthesis.

Cyclopropanation of unactivated olefinic bonds via addition of a reactive one-carbon species is well developed in synthetic chemistry, whereas natural cyclopropane biosynthesis employing this strategy is very limited. Here, we identify a two-component cyclopropanase system, composed of a HemN-like radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme C10P and a methyltransferase C10Q, catalyzes chemically challenging cyclopropanation in the antitumor antibiotic CC-1065 biosynthesis. C10P uses its [4Fe-4S] cluster for reductive cleavage of the first SAM to yield a highly reactive 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, which abstracts a hydrogen from the second SAM to produce a SAM methylene radical that adds to an sp-hybridized carbon of substrate to form a SAM-substrate adduct.

The synthesis of 1,2,10,11-tetrahydro-9H-cyclobuta[c]benzo[e]indol-4-one (17, CbBI), which contains a deep-seated fundamental structural modification in the CC-1065 and duocarmycin alkylation subunit consisting of the incorporation of a ring-expanded fused cyclobutane (vs cyclopropane), its chemical and structural characterization, and its incorporation into a key analogue of the natural products are detailed. The approach to the preparation of CbBI was based on a precedented (Ar-3' and Ar-5') but previously unknown Ar-4' spirocyclization of a phenol onto a tethered alkyl halide to form the desired cyclobutane. The conditions required for the implementation of the Ar-4' spirocyclization indicate that the entropy of activation substantially impacts the rate of reaction relative to that for the much more facile Ar-3' spirocyclization, while the higher enthalpy of activation slows the reaction relative to an Ar-5' spirocyclization.
