Abstract
Chapter 1. Part 1: Novel Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 1,5-Linked D-Mannoseptanosides. Part 2: Synthesis of D-Glucoseptanosides Part 1. Using the tungsten-catalyzed cycloisomerization of an appropriately protected alkynyl alcohol, highly functionalized seven-membered ring (septanose) glycals were synthesized. We used dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) glycal epoxidation/epoxide opening to construct septanose sugars with D- manno absolute configuration, which were glycosylated to give the first known 1,5-linked D-mannoseptanoside mono-, di-, and trisaccharides. These unnatural sugars were found to be innocuous to α-mannosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis. Thus, we believe these unique carbohydrate structures have potential application as biomaterials or drug delivery vehicles. Part 2. Using a known strategy of protecting group manipulation of a hexose sugar, we have synthesized a variety of D-glucoseptanose substrates. Our ultimate goal was to construct higher order oligosaccharides composed of D-glucoseptanose monomer units. While that goal remained elusive, we gained much insight into the reactivity patterns of these substrates, which will be insightful in future studies.
Chapter 2. Biomimetic Total Synthesis of the Proposed Structure of ent-Muzitone Muzitone, a marine sponge-derived polycyclic ether triterpenoid natural product, was synthesized using a bioinspired strategy. Starting from a C30 squalene-like precursor, we successfully used tandem biomimetic cyclizations of epoxy-ene substrates to construct ent-muzitone. This synthetic investigation revealed that the structural and/or stereochemical assignment of muzitone was incorrect.
