The first total synthesis of the alkaloid brevianamide S has been achieved in eight steps. This natural product, isolated from Aspergillus versicolor, exhibits selective antibacterial activity against Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a commonly used surrogate for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Brevianamide S is proposed to act through a novel, yet-to-be-elucidated mechanism, making it a promising lead in the development of next-generation antitubercular agents. Our approach employs a bidirectional synthetic strategy, involving a bespoke alkenyl–alkenyl Stille cross-coupling reaction and a double aldol condensation. This represents a flexible and efficient platform for the future synthesis of structurally diverse analogues.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
