Yee, Nathan Kwok Nang 2011-05-07T12:13:32Z 2011-05-07T12:13:32Z 10000-01-01 1991 A total synthesis of 9,10-syn copalol (181) from silyl phosphonate 76 was accomplished in 11 steps with an overall yield of 6.6% (Scheme 54). The key transformation involved electrophilic cyclization of epoxy silyl triene 158 to construct the 9,10-syn bicyclic nucleus with the exocyclic methylene group in 181. The cyclization of 158 afforded a mixture of 9,10-syn- and 9,10-anti isomers 166 and 167 which were separated by preparative HPLC. A mechanism, involving an early transition state for the allyl silane ring closure step is proposed to rationalize type low stereo-selectivity observed in the cyclizations of the epoxy silanes. In the course of this synthesis, procedures were developed for direct C$\sb{10}$-C$\sb{10}$ Biellmann coupling of epoxy sulfone 155 and allylic bromide 103, and subsequent regioselective reduction with lithium in EtNH$\sb2$-Et$\sb2$O. Tritium-labelled 9,10-syn CPP (222), ent-CPP (224), (E,Z,E)-GGPP (226), and (E,E,E)-GGPP (228) were prepared and tested as intermediates in the biosynthesis of 9,10-syn diterpene. Preliminary results, obtained in the laboratory of Professor West at UCLA, from the incubations of these substrates with cell-free enzyme extracts from elicited rice tissue (Oryza sativa vc Shesheniski) demonstrated that 9,10-syn CPP is efficiently incorporated into a hydrocarbon presumed to be 9$\beta$H-pimara-7,15-diene (17), the biosynthetic precursor for the momilactone phytoalexins. In addition, (E,E,E)-GGPP, and not (E,Z,E)-GGPP, proved to be the acyclic substrate for the diterpene cyclase that produced 9,10-syn CPP. These enzymatic experiments indicate that 9,10-syn pimara-7,15-diene is biosynthesized via a chair-boat cyclization of (E,E,E)-GGPP to give 9,10-syn CPP, followed by an S$\sb{\rm N\sp\prime}$ cyclization to form the C-ring.
