! Highly Optimized Suzuki Coupling Conditions

undesired double addition product

The coupling was sensitive to the choice of base:

(1) strong bases (i.e. hydroxides, oxides) or less halophilic cations resulted in slower rates and competitive decomposition of SM via protodeborylation, oxidation, elimination, etc.

(2) silver bases completely decomposed products'

(3) carbonates had the best selectivity and only Tl2CO3 gave good reaction at rt

For each macrocycle, five energy-minimized geometries were obtained and two energy curves were generated plotting the increasing energy penalty for !-face alignment of the approaching TS ( I and II).

Nine simplified macrocycles (varied at C18 and C19) were energy-minimized (PM3) with distance

constraints (of 2.9-2.1 Å) leading to the observed natural product (via

endo TS I) or it's endo diastereomer (via endo TS II).

! Issues Encountered in this Approach:

IMDA gave poor diastereofacial selectivity (1.6:1 of desired:undesided cycloadduct)

Key reductive lithiation cyclization step resulted in the formation of an undesired Z alkylidene dicarbonyl tetracycle. It was conjectured that the geometrical constraints of the 12-membered ring would had favored the Z isomer
