A CLASSICAL MISASSIGNMENT: Wieland and Windaus, two researchers in Germany, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1927-1928 because of the

proposed structure of cholesterol

Number of inaccuracies in the core structure was revealed in 1932 by Bernal, who obtained on X-Ray cristal structure of ergosterol.

Molecules of Mistaken Identity & Total Synthesis

Surprisingly, the examples outlined in the Nicolaou’s review cover virtually every compound class : stereods, terpenes, indole alkaloids and peptides and

encompass molecules of all sizes and levels of stereochemical complexity.

Why do so many errors occur?

Molecules of Mistaken Identity & Total Synthesis

The answer from Nicolaou is : The number of errors simply reflects the fact that every method of assignment has its weaknesses, some of which can not be resolved even if every tool for structural elucidation is also applied.

X-Ray Crystal Analysis Does not reveal the hydrogen atoms (discern between O and N) Confuse the identity of atoms within certain functional groups (cyano vs diazo)

High –Resolution Mass Spectroscopy Ionisation (Fast –Atom Bombardment (FAB) vs Electron Spray Ionisation (ESI)

Story of (+)-Hexacyclinol

Panus Rudis

Biological Data

Isolated by Gräfe and co-workers , in 2002.

From basidiospores collected from Panus Rudis (Mushrooms growing on dead wood).

Biosynthesis of hexacyclinol occurs via the terpenoid pathway.

Moderate antibiotic activity.

Showed an antiproliferative effect.

Inhibitory activity against (P. Falciparum). (antimalariale)

German fungal cultures provided a strain of P. rudis that was able to do the biosynthesis of 1, 2 and

3.

Retrocycloaddition of 1 and 2 released oxygen to afford 3.

[2+2+2] cycloaddition of 3 with singlet O2 returned to a mixture of 1 and 2.

Since 19a didn’t react, that result suggested that the C6-carbinol was too hindered to form the required alkoxyphosphonium

intermediate.

Chelation-controlled reduction was attempted using DiBAL-H or Zn(BH4)2

to induce the anti-epoxy alcohol, but it’s showed no diastereoselectivity (1:1).In contrast, the reduction with the Super-Hydride cleanly afforded syn-epoxy alcohol.

Conclusion

La Clair Porco & Rychnovsky No 13C data or

experimental protocols in the supporting information.

[]D & 1H NMR similar to the natural product.

Proof on his structure: release of O2 .

Fugal cultures can make hexacyclinol & desoxyhexacyclinol.

[]D & 1H NMR similar to the natural product.

13 C NMR data matched the natural product.

X-Ray Crystal obtained synthetic material (not natural product).

Proposed that hexacyclinol is an artifact obtained during the isolation procedure.

No mention of O2 release.
