Direct assembly of multiply oxygenated carbon chains by decarbonylative radical–radical coupling reactions

Overview
Pentoses and hexoses contain more than three oxygen-bearing stereocentres and are ideal starting materials for the synthesis of multiply oxygenated natural products such as sagittamide D, maitotoxin and hikizimycin. Here we demonstrate new radical–radical homocoupling reactions of sugar derivatives with minimal perturbation of their chiral centres. The radical exchange procedure using Et

converted sugar-derived α-alkoxyacyl tellurides into α-alkoxy radicals via decarbonylation and rapidly dimerized the monomeric radicals. The robustness of this process was demonstrated by a single-step preparation of 12 stereochemically diverse dimers with 6–10 secondary hydroxy groups, including the C5–C10 stereohexad of sagittamide D and the enantiomer of the C51–C60 stereodecad of maitotoxin. Furthermore, the optimally convergent radical–radical cross-coupling reaction achieved a one-step assembly of the protected C1–C11 oxygenated carbon chain of the anthelmintic hikizimycin. These exceptionally efficient homo- and heterocoupling methods together provide a powerful strategy for the expedited total synthesis of contiguously hydroxylated natural products.
Pentoses and hexoses represent important structural motifs in bioactive secondary metabolites, though their synthesis often requires several elongation steps. Now, a method for radical–radical coupling reactions of sugar derivatives enables the single-step preparation of the oxygenated carbon chains of several natural products, including sagittamide D, maitotoxin and hikizimycin.
