Abstract
The development of innovative strategies and methods to provide natural product-like macrocycles not accessible by biosynthesis, but endowed with novel bioactivities and simplified structure, is highly desirable. Inspired by the key scaffolds of rapamycin and FR252921, herein, we report a Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H alkylation macrocyclization, which enables access to CF3-substituted macrolides. DFT calculations reveal that the chemoselectivity between C–H alkylation and olefination macrocyclization was highly controllable. Moreover, the unique CF3-substituted macrolides showed potent anti-inflammation activities against TNF-α, IL-6 and CCL2 mRNA expression.
