Herein, we report our synthetic studies toward the skyllamycins, a highly modified class of nonribosomal peptide natural products which contain a number of interesting structural features, including the extremely rare α-OH-glycine residue. Before embarking on the synthesis of the natural products, we prepared four structurally simpler analogues. Access to both the analogues and the natural products first required the synthesis of a number of nonproteinogenic amino acids, including three β-OH amino acids that were accessed from the convenient chiral precursor Garner's aldehyde. Following the preparation of the suitably protected nonproteinogenic amino acids, the skyllamycin analogues were assembled using a solid-phase synthetic route followed by a final stage solution-phase cyclization reaction. To access the natural products (skyllamycins A-C) the synthetic route used for the analogues was modified. Specifically, linear peptide precursors containing a C-terminal amide were synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis. After cleavage from the resin the N-terminal serine residue was oxidatively cleaved to a glyoxyamide moiety. The target natural products, skyllamycins A-C, were successfully prepared via a final step cyclization with concomitant formation of the unusual α-OH-glycine residue. Purification and spectroscopic comparison to the authentic isolated material confirmed the identity of the synthetic natural products.

The skyllamycins are a family of highly functionalized non-ribosomal cyclic depsipeptide natural products which contain the extremely rare α-OH-glycine functionality. Herein the first total synthesis of skyllamycins A–C is reported, together with the biofilm inhibitory activity of the natural products. Linear peptide precursors for each natural product were prepared through an efficient solid-phase route incorporating a number of synthetic modified amino acids. A novel macrocyclization step between a C-terminal amide and an N-terminal glyoxylamide moiety served as a key transformation to install the unique α-OH-glycine unit and generate the natural products in the final step of the synthesis.

Two substrates containing an aryl iodide and an allenoate ester were prepared and the goldinduced cycloisomerisation to vinylgold(I) species and their proto-deauration as well as the intramolecular palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions were investigated. Switching to catalytic amounts of gold and palladium and stoichiometric amounts of silver did indeed furnish the product of a cycloisomerisation/ intramolecular cross-coupling. Control experiments revealed that silver cannot substitute for gold or palladium in these reactions, but a different palladium catalyst in a different oxidation state also afforded the cycloisomerisation/intramolecular crosscoupling products in only slightly reduced yields. By ICP analysis the palladium was shown to contain gold only at the sub-ppm level. This shows how carefully results obtained with such systems have to be interpreted. Then a series of allylic and benzylic o-alkynylbenzoates were investigated in gold-and palladium-catalysed reactions. For esters of benzyl alcohol and cinnamyl alcohol no palladium co-catalyst was needed for the conversion. All reagents were thoroughly checked for palladium traces by ICP analysis in order to thoroughly exclude a gold/palladium cocatalysis. Optimisation of the gold complex, counter ion and solvent showed that gold(I) isonitrile precatalysts and silver triflate as activator in dioxane are suitable to convert a number of substrates with aryl, alkyl and even cyclopropyl substituents. Crossover experiments proved an intermolecular allyl transfer.
