Two strategies for the projected total synthesis of the phenomenally potent antitumor macrolides amphidinolide N and caribenolide I are described. The title compounds are introduced as challenging and unique targets for chem. synthesis, and their retrosynthetic anal. is presented. The synthesis of the four defined key building blocks, required for the construction of amphidinolide N, in their enantiomerically pure forms, is described, followed by the coupling through hydrazone alkylation processes to generate the complete C6-C29 carbon framework (I) of the target compound Fusion of the remaining C1-C5 sector onto the mol. by metathesis-based methods was unsuccessful, resulting in the adoption of a second-generation strategy which called for the employment of one of the array of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to generate the C5-C6 carbon-carbon bond. Vinyl bromide II, representing the C6-C29 skeleton of caribenolide I, was prepared through the sequential alkylation, but failed to engage in the appropriate cross-coupling reaction with a variety of C1-C4 partners. Despite these setbacks, the information gleaned from these endeavors was to prove invaluable in laying the foundation for the eventual successful approach to the macrocyclic structures of amphidinolide N and caribenolide I.
