title: Total synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of coscinosulfate. A new selective inhibitor of Cdc25 protein phosphatase.
abstract: The first total synthesis of coscinosulfate 1, a metabolite isolated from a sea sponge, starting from (+)-sclareolide 3 is described. The convergent synthesis strategy relies on the coupling of sulfone 21 with the bromide 26. The sulfone fragment 21 was obtained by successive asymmetric aldol reaction with aldehyde 2 to introduce the stereocenters at C-12 and C-13, followed by one-carbon homologation via Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination. The selective sulfatation at C-12 was accomplished through the quinone intermediate 31 obtained by selective oxidation of hydroquinone 30; this, when followed by reduction, furnished the desired coscinosulfate 1. X-ray analysis of the intermediate aldehyde 18 confirmed the proposed structure.
