The kedarcidin and C1027 chromophores are formidable targets of total synthesis. During our
20-year study of these nine-membered enediyne chromophores, several powerful, yet
chemoselective methods have been developed: stereoselective epoxyalkyne formation,
atropselective Pd/Cu-Sonogashira coupling, 2-deoxy-α-glycosylation, CeX3-mediated
enediyne cyclisation, and SmI2-based reductive olefination. Besides their total syntheses,
application of these methods to the biomimetic study of the putative enediyne-precursors of
the cyanosporasides, sporolides, and fijiolides will be presented. In particular, we disclose
biomimetic evidence of a p-benzyne diradical species reacting in either a radical mode
(hydrogen abstraction) or ionic mode (chloride attack) at the same sterically exposed site,
leading to either monochlorinated cyanosporaside A/F or cyanosporaside B–E, respectively.
The ionic monochlorination of the cycloaromatized p-benzyne of the C1027 enediyne core to
generate the fijiolide aglycon framework will also be presented.
