I. C-Glycosides
C-glycosyl compounds, frequently referred to as “C-glycosides,” are compounds in
which the exo-glycosidic carbon-oxygen bond has been replaced with a carbon-carbon bond.1-3
Examples of naturally occurring C-glycosides are aloin, also known as barbaloin, which occurs
in various species of aloe, the antitumor aryl C-glycoside ravidomycin, and the nucleoside
antibiotic pyrazomydin (Figure 1). The chemistry and biological properties of C-glycosides have
long been of interest owing to their stability toward glycosidase enzymes; replacement of the
exocyclic carbon-oxygen bond with a carbon-carbon bond results in a hydrolytically stable
carbohydrate mimetic that may possess interesting applications in biological studies and in
medicine as therapeutics.4 Synthetic C-glycosides that have potent activity as enzyme inhibitors.5

glycosides.8 In this proposal, approaches to the synthesis of the fungal toxin diplopyrone are
described that involve a number of problems based on the chemistry of C-glycosides. Our main
objectives are the synthesis of the fungal toxin in both its natural and enantiomeric forms, along
with analogs for biological testing. Related objectives include the development of synthetic
methods based on glycosyl sulfones, new routes for pyranopyran synthesis, chain-extension, and
methods for C-vinyl glycoside synthesis.
Why synthesize the enantiomer first? There are two reasons for the choice of the enantiomer as
the initial target. First, as will be detailed in this section, viewing diplopyrone as a “C-glycoside
problem” opens up multiple synthetic routes that are based on common D sugars and some well
established protecting group chemistry that can be relied on to expedite the synthesis. The
second reason, less practical in nature but enticing nonetheless, stems from phytochemistry. It
is well known that stereoisomers of phytotoxins may possess different biological acitivity. 11,12
For example, the dihydroxynaphthaleneone (-)-regiolone is produced by Botrytis fabae, which is
a much more virulent pathogen than Botrytis cinerea, which produces the enantiomeric
2
phytotoxin (+)-isosclerone.13 Enantiomers of the phytotoxic lichen metabolite usnic acid possess
different activity, with (-)-usnic acid having the greatest phytotoxic activity. 14 Will enantiomeric
diplopyrone exhibit the same necrotic effects on Quercus suber as the natural material? Will it
exhibit inverse agonism by blocking the action of (+)-diplopyrone, or antimicrobial activity
against strains of D. mutila that infect other species? Synthetic derivatives of the phytotoxin
papyracillic acid revealed antibacterial and antifungal activity for this class of compounds and
allowed structure-activity relationships to be established.15 Fungal phytotoxins may as useful
lead compounds in the development of environmentally benign herbicides. or in the selection of
trees that are resistant to disease, prompting further interest in the synthesis of enantiomerically
pure phytotoxins.12,15
Part of the appeal to a carbohydrate-based strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of
diplopyrones lies in the mutltiple pathways can be developed from simple starting materials.
Viewing the target from the standpoint of C-6 Wittig chain-extension, defined here as a Type I
approach (Scheme 1), allows for formation of the pyranopyran core by intramolecular
esterification involving a chain-extended substrate 3, which is a “higher-carbon sugar.” Many
methods have been developed for the synthesis of higher-carbon sugars by chain extension. 16 In
this approach, the diplopyrone chirality centers at C-4a and C-8a are derived from C-5 and C-4
of the carbohydrate starting material, D-galactose. In an alternative approach, the pyranopyran
core of diplopyrone can potentially be formed from ring-closing metathesis (RCM) using a vinyl
glycoside such as 4 (Scheme 1, Type II approach). Using a Type II approach, the chirality
centers at C-6 and C-8a as numbered in diplopyrone can be seen to originate from C-6 and C-2
of either D-glucose or D-galactose. C-glycosidation is required at C-4a (diplopyrone numbering)
in the RCM-based synthesis.
3
The approaches outlined in Scheme 1 present opportunities for the development of new
synthesis methodology. An example is the preparation of the C-vinyl glycoside required in the
RCM (Type II) approach. The many applications of C-vinyl glycosides in organic chemistry
include their use as precursors to carbon-linked glycoconjugates such as analogs of ceramide
immunostimulants17 and nucleoside phosphonates,18 as well as higher-carbon cyclic carbohydrate
mimetics.19,20 Unlike their C-allyl glycoside counterparts, simple, unsubstituted C-vinyl
glycosides have proved to be more difficult to synthesize, as is well illustrated by their absence
in the examples cited in recent approaches to C-alkyl, C-aryl, and (substituted) C-vinyl
glycosides, some of which are based on modern, organocatalytic methods.21,22 Later in this
proposal, the synthesis of C-vinyl glycosides will be revisited as it applies to our approach to
diplopyrone. The synthesis of diplopyrone by the Wittig chain-extension approach (Type I) will
focus our attention on the development of glycosyl sulfones, nitriles, or alkynes as precursors to
hydroxyethyl C-glycosides, as outlined in the following section.
4
the stereochemistry at a newly created off-ring chirality center of a higher-carbon galactose
derivative.27 If 2-pyridyl sulfones or phenyl sulfones are successful as precursors to the C-
hydroxyethyl side-chain, we would expand on this approach to synthesize analogs by using
different aldehyde or ketone acceptors in the samarium-Barbier coupling.
In other preliminary studies in our lab, alternative routes to the C-hydroxyethyl glycoside
were attempted based on glycosyl nitriles. The Ferrier rearrangement of tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal
in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide provided crystalline glycosyl nitrile 9 in 60% yield on a
20 gram scale (Scheme 2).28,29 Again, as in the case of the glycosyl sulfones, the nitriles seemed
suitable as precursors for the hydroxylethyl side-chain, by either of two sequences, one involving
reduction of the nitrile 10 to the corresponding aldehyde 11 followed by methylation, and the
other consisting of prior methylation of 10 to give a methyl ketone, followed by reduction to give
12. In spite of many attempts the outcomes of these nitrile-based approaches were not
promising. The addition of methyllithium to 10 followed by hydride reduction gave an alcohol
of undetermined configuration in low yield and poor reproducibility, while attempted DIBAL
reduction gave complex mixtures. Aside from the expected issues of epimerization at the
anomeric carbon of 11 and the methyl ketone leading to 12, there were likely also problems with
the double bond shifting into conjugation in these substrates. Compound 10 and the carbonyl
compounds derived from it such as 13 are also susceptible to elimination, as evidenced by the
formation of diene 14, which was detected in the reaction product of methyllithium addition to 8.
5
Some success using the Type I approach to diplopyrone was realized in the construction
of the lactone ring while leaving the nitrile intact (Scheme 3). Selective removal of the tert-
butyldimethyl (TBDMS) protecting group from the C-6 hydroxyl in 8 was achieved with
methanol and an acid catalyst to give 15, which was oxidized to aldehyde 16 by the Parikh-
Doering method.30 The reaction of 16 with (carbethoxylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane under
conditions described by Valverde and coworkers gave ester 17 exclusively as the Z isomer.31
The cyclization of 17 to nitrile 18 proved more difficult than expected, perhaps because the
double bond in the pyranose ring of 17 places the C-4 hydroxyl group and ester group in poor
proximity for ring closure. We were able nonetheless to obtain 18 by this sequenc in 34%
overall yield from 8.32 Compound 18, termed diplopyrone nitrile, is an interesting material in
its own right and during the course of our research we plan to prepare additional quantities of 18
by this method for biological testing by the assay described later in this proposal. We will also
again examine transformations of the nitrile in 18 such as reduction to the aldehyde since 18 may
be less prone to the side-reactions we observed for 8.

Scheme 5. Stereoselective chain-extension with methyltitanium
The stereoselective synthesis of 24 solved one of the two problems of our approach to (-)-
diplopyrone using RCM for the lactone formation, the other being the required C-glycosidation
at C-4a in the diplopyrone structure. For this part of the synthesis, we decided to rely on the use
of allyl glycosides because of the successful synthesis of ladder ethers and other complex targets
with a pyranopyran core in which C-allyl glycosides were key intermediates. 8 Protection of the
alcohol in 24 was straightforward and protecting group manipulations leading to 27, although
inefficient, did provide material to probe the key C-glycosidation step (Scheme 6). Treatment of
27 with allyltrimethylsilane and a Lewis acid gave exclusively the -anomer of 28, along with
unreacted starting material.42 We encountered a serious problem in the attempted alkene
isomerization of 28 to give 29, in that a significant amount of propenylidene glycoside 30 was
obtained, using methods which were expected to produce only minor amounts of this material. 43
While we were able to solve this issue through the use of Grubbs II catalyst for the
isomerization,44 the poor yields in the preceding steps remain problematic and need to be
addressed. Other conditions for the cleavage of isopropylidene groups in compounds similar to
26 have been reported and will be attempted here. We can also attempt to improve the C-
allylation using a modification Kishi which demonstrated that higher yields of C-allylation can
be obtained if the acetate is first converted to a p-nitrobenzoate.45 Provided that selective
deacylation C-1 of 27 can be achieved under mild conditions,46 it will be possible to obtain a
more reactive substrate for C-allylation.
Remaining steps from the C-propenyl glycoside 29 to both a dihydroxylated analog of (-)-
diplopyrone and (-)-diplopyrone itself are outlined in Scheme 7. Precedent exists for alkene
methathesis using a C-(1-propenyl)glycoside from the work of Franck on the synthesis of C-
glycosyl ceramides.17 Conversion of the propenyl to a vinyl glycoside was also possible by cross
metathesis with Grubbs II catalyst in an atmosphere of ethylene. The end-game from this
approach provides access to (-)-diplopyrone as well as dihydroxylated analog 34 from 33. The
steps leading from 33 to (-)-diplopyrone are removal of the isopropylidene protecting group and
8
reductive elimination of the 3,4-di-O-methanesulfonate derivative of the resulting diol. 47 This
stereoselective synthesis of enantiomeric (-)-diplopyrone would confirm the proposed structure
for the phytotoxin and provide material for biological testing. Synthesis of the natural, (+)-
diplopyrone is addressed at the end of this proposal.
9
The synthesis of (-)-diplopyrone outlined in Schemes 6 and 7 would be greatly improved
if a more efficient route to an RCM precursor could be developed. A C-vinyl analog of 28
would be more desirable for this purpose than C-allyl, but there are few methods available for
the synthesis of simple unsubstitued vinyl glycosides. Scheme 8 illustrates some of the methods
that have been described for the synthesis of C-vinyl and related C-glycosyl pyranosides,17,20-22,32-
34,48-49
and additional examples are included in a review by Linhardt. 50 Most of these methods are
indirect, requiring several steps, and in some cases appear to work with narrow choices of
protecting groups. Also noteworthy is the apparent lack of success of the catalytic methods in
entries 2 and 3 as a means to synthesize unsubstituted vinyl glycosides, which was specifically
noted by the authors of the method in entry 2. Entry 3 is intriguing in the sense that previous
studies by Ley showed that 2-benzenesulfonyl cyclic ethers could be directly substituted with
vinylmagnesium bromide in the presence of zinc bromide to give C-vinyl compounds directly.24
Adapting this approach to the glycosyl sulfone 5 can be investigated as an approach to a C-vinyl
glycoside. If successful, the resulting 1,4-diene 35 would be subjected to regioselective oxidation
at the less-substituted olefin to give 36. Selective epoxidation51 of the less-substituted double
bond followed by reductive ring opening of the epoxide in 36 would provide the required
hydroxyethyl side-chain of diplopyrone.
In view of the problems experienced with the use of C-allyl glycosides in our (-)-
diplopyrone synthesis, the last two methods (entries 5 and 6) based on alkynes are more
attractive than the method in entry 4. Recent developments in the addition of TMS acetylene
derivatives to glycals and glycosyl acetates34,52 suggest that a sequence consisting of C-
alkynylation followed by Lindlar reduction would provide a suitable RCM precursor. One
approach would be to convert glycosyl acetate 27 to the alkynyl glycoside 37 (Scheme 9).
Chemoselective reduction of the alkyne in the presence of the less reactive benzyl ether,
followed by acylation of the C-2 hydroxyl group leads to RCM precursor 38. Successful RCM
will provide 33, for transformations to (-)-diplopyrone and dihydroxy analog 34, as outlined in
Scheme 6.
An alternative approach based on glycals is proposed based on a recent report by Isobe
on the C-alkynylation of glycals with bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene. 34 If successful, this synthesis
(Scheme 10) will provide an efficient route to desmethyldiplopyrone, beginning with glycal 39
which is readily available from acetobromoglucose or acetobromogalactose by the reported
large-scale prep.53 The glycosidation of 39 with bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene as described,
followed by sodium borohydride reduction as described gives exclusively alkynyl alcohol 40.
Selective deprotection with DBU54 gave diol 41, which was converted to RCM precursor 43, as
shown. Cyclization of 43 occurred smoothly to give desmethyldiplpyrone acetate 44. An
immediate objective of this research will be to scale up the preparation of 44 and pursue the
remaining steps leading to (-)-diplopyrone. These consist of deacylation, oxidation, and
methylation of the resulting aldehyde.

VI. (+)-Diplopyrone
Carbohydrates are attractive starting materials for the proposed syntheses of (-)-
diplopyrone and its analogs in enantiomerically pure form, since two of the four required
chirality centers are incorporated from the starting sugars. The starting carbohydrates for these
syntheses are the common D sugars galactose and glucose and the diplopyrones obtained would
be enantiomeric to the natural product that was isolated by Evidente. What about the synthesis
of natural, (+)-diplopyrone? As outlined in this section, the synthesis of (+)-diplopyrone can be
accomplished from L-sugars, which have become more readily available recently through
improved syntheses from D-sugars. Owing to the symmetry of galactose, interchange of groups
at C-1 and C-6 results in enantiomeric structures (Scheme 11). Several syntheses of L-galactose
from D-galactose have been based on this concept, including the preparation of di-O-
isopropylidene derivative 46.55 The recent 6-step synthesis reported by Okamoto utilizes
straightforward reactions and requires no chromatographic purification of any intermediates. 56 L-
Galactose can be used in either of our proposed Type 1 or Type approaches to diplopyrone.
The synthesis of L-glucose can be carried out from sodium -D-glucoheptonate, using the
method of Jenkinson. This method, title “short and sweet” by the authors, produces L-glucose in
five steps in multi-gram quantities with no purifications of intermediates required.57 Suitable for
undergraduates, this method could also be adapted to explore a method for C-vinyl glycoside
synthesis as shown in Scheme 12. Conversion of the known aldehyde (R=H or protecting group
if necessary) 47 to the acetylenic alcohol 48, followed by tosylation and deprotection should give
the C-alkynyl pyranoside 50. This type of sequence has been used previously for the synthesis of
an alkynyl -C-riboside.58,59

VII. Summary of Targets and New Synthesis Methodology
The proposed syntheses of diplopyrone and its structural analogs from carbohydrates rely
on the further development of synthetic methods for natural products that contain a pyranopyran
core. Briefly, these methods can be grouped into the following categories:
While described in the context of a specific natural product synthesis, we anticipate that these
methods will find application in the solution of other problems in which carbohydrates may be
viewed as suitable intermediates for access to novel structures. A summary of the targets that
will be pursued in this research is given in Table 1.
Diplopyrone isolated from Diplodia mutila was assayed for phytotoxic activity
using cuttings from cork oak and tomato seedlings.10 A leaf puncture assay method with tomato
and cork oak leaves was used to test afritoxinones obtained from Diplodia africana and showed
that changes in the stereochemistry of the phytotoxins and other structural changes produced
different levels of necrosis.60 These assays are straightforward to carry out and will be conducted
with assistance from the Biology Department at Villanova using the synthetic targets prepared in
our laboratory. Specifically, the work will be examining the effect of our compounds on the
generation of leaf necrosis in tomato seedlings. Villanova University has a large greenhouse as
well as growth chambers that control temperature, humidity, light and photoperiod. Tomato
leaves from seedlings (~1 month old) will be micro-punctured with a needle and then exposed to
20 l droplets of various concentrations of compounds dissolved in sterile water (4% methanol).
14
The size of lesions will be photographed and measured regularly via ImageJ software over the
next two weeks and compared to application of control solutions. The assay is similar to the one
described by Evidente.60 Dr. Dennis Wykoff, Professor of Biology, will assist with the
development of these assays, and he has a background in plant biology. Initially, the assay will
be developed with commonly available tomato seedlings (Marmande variety); however, it is
likely that a few genetically diverse varieties will be tested to optimize the genetic background of
the Lycopersicon esculentum for the given compounds. Depending on the results, the assay will
be developed for the host plant (cork oak) as well; however, tomato seedlings appear to be the
easiest first step for developing this necrosis assay.
