Outline of Final Research Achievements

The project has dealt with the total synthesis of highly oxidized complex natural products, including (1) polyketides, (2) polyphenols, and (3) glycoconjugates with polycyclic structures. Subject 1 exploited isoxazole as a platform for stereo-controlled dimerization of anthraquinone and installation of angular cis-diol, enabling total syntheses of BE-43472B, pleospdione, and tetracenomycin C. Study on the pyranonaphthoquinone dimers led to the development of unusual dimerization protocols, enabling the first total synthesis of actinorhodin and a promising access to naphthocylines via thiolate-mediated dimerization protocol. Subject 2 was associated with synthesis of the catechin oligomers. Based on the concept of catechin–sugar analogy as well as the orthogonal activation, effective approaches have been established for synthesizing the linear as well as doubly-connected oligomers. Subject 3 dealt with the synthesis of bis-aryl C-glycoside antibiotics, and the first total synthesis of saptomycin B has been accomplished, enabling assignment of the C14-stereochmistry.
