Abstract

The synthesis of two marine lipodipeptides, majusculamides A and B, is described. The key feature of this synthesis is the stereoselective construction of an α-methyl-β-keto-carboxamide moiety.

Key words

marine natural products - peptides - polyketides - β-ketoamide - asymmetric aldol reaction

3 Majusculamides A and B were also recently isolated by us from the marine cyanobacterium Moorea producens collected from the coast of Bise Okinawa.
4 No isomerization was observed in ¹H NMR spectra of the pure amides in DMSO-d ₆ at 140 °C after heating for 10 minutes.

The α-methyl-β-keto-carboxamide moiety is observed in the macrocyclic systems of some natural products. For synthetic studies toward such natural products, see:

Tertiary amides are essential for the stereochemical stabilities of β-keto-carboxamides. For examples of isomerization of secondary amides, see:

In the case of N,O-dimethylhydroxamic acids, also known as Weinreb amides, α-methyl-β-keto compounds could be employed in further transformation under the appropriate conditions without isomerization, whereas the α-methyl-β-keto compounds could be used as substrates for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation with dynamic kinetic resolution. For examples, see:

9 The structure of the α-methyl-β-keto-carboxamide moiety was supported by DFT calculations and NOESY experiments of simplified molecules. For details, see Supporting Information.
10 Glucose uptake enhancement activity was also investigated. Both compounds had no effect on the glucose uptake up to a concentration of 30 μM in cultured L6 myotubes.

Partial formation of an N,O-bis(Boc) product was observed under those conditions. The Boc group on the phenolic hydroxy group was easily cleaved during the ensuing methylation. For related reports, see:

After stirring for 30 min, a solution of amine hydrochloride 10 (90.3 mg, 0.252 mmol) and i-Pr₂NEt (0.097 mL, 0.56 mmol) in DMF (1.54 mL) was added dropwise at 0 °C. After the resulting mixture was stirred for 4 h at 25 °C, the reaction was quenched with NaCl solution (10%) in water. The resulting mixture was extracted three times with AcOEt. The combined organic phases were washed with aqueous NaHCO₃, dried with Na₂SO₄, and concentrated under reduced pressure.
