This thesis focuses on studies towards the total synthesis of chivosazole F. Some developments towards the total synthesis of chivosazole A are also discussed. Chapter 1 discusses the isolation, characterisation and biological activity of the chivosazoles, as well as the first total synthesis of chivosazole F reported by the Kalesse group and the previous work towards synthesising chivosazole F in our group. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis of the three key fragments A, B and C, their coupling reactions and subsequent modifications for assembling the backbone of chivosazole F. Paterson boron aldol methodology and Evans-Tishchenko reduction were utilised to construct the 1,4-syn and 1,3-anti stereochemical relationships within both fragment A and fragment B. Di-tert-butyl silyl group was used for the efficient and precise protection of the terminal diol of B. The key stereochemistry of fragment C was defined with a vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Site-selective Stille cross-coupling reactions of the three fragments, via a one-pot process, rapidly installed the requisite stereodefined polyene motifs within chivosazole F. Optimised Still-Gennari-type HWE olefination conditions were applied to install the (2Z,4E)-dienoate in D. MnO2-mediated double oxidation of D turned the terminal alcohol into an aldehyde and the oxazoline into an oxazole, followed by a Stork-Zhao olefination transforming the aldehyde to a Z-vinyl iodide for a macro-Stille coupling reaction, which achieved the ring closure to afford macrocycle E. Chapter 3 discusses the developments towards the synthesis of the southern fragment F of chivosazole A. Sugar I was prepared first and conditions were screened for the glycosylation of H and I to afford G. Chapter 4 outlines the achievements of this research and points out some future issues that need to be tackled.","abstract_html":"First isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosm So Ce12 in 1994, the chivosazoles have been reported to possess antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines, as well as antifungal activity.
