TL;DR: The first enantiospecific total syntheses of pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics, nanaomycins D and A, and their enantiomers, kalafungin and 4-deoxykalafinic acid are described by an enantiodivergent strategy from a common optically active intermediate, (1S,3RS,4S)-3,4-dihydro-5,9,10-trimethoxy-1-methyl-1H-naphthoe[2,3-c
Abstract: The first, enantiospecific total syntheses of pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics, nanaomycins D and A, and their enantiomers, kalafungin and 4-deoxykalafunginic acid are described by an “enantiodivergent” strategy from a common optically active intermediate, (1S,3RS,4S)-3,4-dihydro-5,9,10-trimethoxy-1-methyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-3,4-diol, which has been derived from L-rhamnose via condensation of 4-methoxy-3(phenylsulfonyl)-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone and methyl 3,4,6-trideoxy-α-L-glycero-hex-3-enopyranosid-2-ulose.

TL;DR: Medermycin has been first synthesized from D -rhamnose derivatives and was later confirmed to be identical with lactoquinomycin in this paper, and was shown to be stable in vitro.

TL;DR: Current studies are evaluating increased doses of epirubicin to improve anthracycline cytotoxicity, while limiting cardiotoxicity, but at present DOX still reigns in this drug class as the one having the most proven cancerocidal effect.

TL;DR: New principles for the formation of glycoside bonds are discussed and developments, mainly in the last ten years, that have led to significant advances in oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate synthesis have been compiled and are evaluated.
Abstract: Increased understanding of the important roles that oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates play in biological processes has led to a demand for significant amounts of these materials for biological, medicinal, and pharmacological studies. Therefore, tremendous effort has been made to develop new procedures for the synthesis of glycosides, whereby the main focus is often the formation of the glycosidic bonds. Accordingly, quite a few review articles have been published over the past few years on glycoside synthesis; however, most are confined to either a specific type of glycoside or a specific strategy for glycoside synthesis. In this Review, new principles for the formation of glycoside bonds are discussed. Developments, mainly in the last ten years, that have led to significant advances in oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate synthesis have been compiled and are evaluated.

TL;DR: This review aims at highlighting photochemical transformations as a tool for rapidly accessing structurally and stereochemically diverse scaffolds for complex polycyclic carbon skeletons with impressive efficiency, which are of high value in total synthesis.
Abstract: The use of photochemical transformations is a powerful strategy that allows for the formation of a high degree of molecular complexity from relatively simple building blocks in a single step. A central feature of all light-promoted transformations is the involvement of electronically excited states, generated upon absorption of photons. This produces transient reactive intermediates and significantly alters the reactivity of a chemical compound. The input of energy provided by light thus offers a means to produce strained and unique target compounds that cannot be assembled using thermal protocols. This review aims at highlighting photochemical transformations as a tool for rapidly accessing structurally and stereochemically diverse scaffolds. Synthetic designs based on photochemical transformations have the potential to afford complex polycyclic carbon skeletons with impressive efficiency, which are of high value in total synthesis.
