Abstract

The synthesis of an iodonium-bridge activated cyclization model system is reported. A six-membered heterocyclic ether was synthesized through a seven-step linear synthesis using iodine as the activator. The cyclic ether product serves as a model system for generation of the trans-syn-trans stereochemistry displayed within the brevetoxin family. The results suggest that the trans-alkene diol generates a cyclic ether with trans-anti-trans stereochemistry.

A three-step synthetic route to septanose glycal from D-(-)-ribose is also reported. These seven-membered sugar rings can be polymerized to generate biopolymers capable of novel and predictable biological activity. This synthesis includes a one-carbon homologation of acetonide-protected ribofuranose using the Bestmann-Ohira modification of the Seyferth-Gilbert homologation. The subsequent alkynyl diol will be converted to a septanose carbohydrate using a W(CO)6-catalyzed cyclization reaction.

Lastly, the progress towards the synthesis and characterization of monothiopyrophosphate is reported. This pyrophosphate derivative is a promising therapeutic candidate for inhibition of vascular calcification characteristic of patients with increasing age, renal disease and diabetes.
