Journal ArticleDOI
From D-Camphor to the Taxanes: Highly Concise Rearrangement-Based Approaches to Taxusin and Taxol
Leo A. Paquette,Mangzhu Zhao,Francis J. Montgomery,Qingbei Zeng,Ting Zhong Wang,Steven W. Elmore,Keith D. Combrink,Hui-Ling Wang,Simon R. Bailey,Zhuang Su +9 more
TL;DR: Taxusin and taxol as discussed by the authors have been shown to have a remarkable capacity for stabilizing microtubule assembly and deterring cell division, which has attracted unrivaled attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Convenient Route to 1,3‐Cyclooctatetraenophanes.
T.‐Z. Wang,Leo A. Paquette +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cycloalkenones (I) undergo cyclocondensation with ethyl acetoacetate (II) to give the bridged cyclohexenones(III) which are converted to the tricyclic hydroxydienes (VII) as shown in the reaction scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Convenient One‐Flask Procedure for the Direct Conversion of Alkenes to Homoallylic Alcohols.
TL;DR: Homoallylic alcohols have been prepared from alkenes by direct reaction of the ozonide with an allylic bromide in the presence of zinc as discussed by the authors, where the zinc is added to the mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Both Antipodal Forms of 7,7-Dimethylbicyclo(2.2.2)oct-2- en-5-one by Enantiomer Interconversion.
Leo A. Paquette,Hon-Chung Tsui +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an enantioselective synthesis of both enantiomers of the title ketone 5 from a common achiral β-diketone is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevance of Oxyanion Stereochemistry to Chirality Transfer in Anionic Oxy‐Cope Rearrangements.
TL;DR: Geometrically and optically pure (3R,5E)- and 1,5-heptadien-3-ols undergo anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement under the exclusice control of oxyanion orientation with a 58-64% preference for equatorial oxygen as mentioned in this paper.
