Total synthesis of N 14 -desacetoxytubulysin H

Peter Wipf, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the N14-desacetoxy analogue of tubulysin H was prepared in 20 steps and 2.1% overall yield, using a thiazole anion addition to assemble the tubuvaline residue at the C(10)-C(11) bond.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying a Resistance Determinant for the Antimitotic Natural Products Disorazole C1 and A1

TL;DR: The multidrug resistance transporter ABCB1 can affect the cytotoxicity of both disorazole C1 and A1, however, retained activity against cells resistant against the clinically used microtubule-stabilizing agent epothilone B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total Synthesis and Structure Validation of (+)-Bistramide C.

TL;DR: The synthetic efforts in conjunction with NMR methodology and chiroptical tools culminated in the first total synthesis of (+)-bistramide C, which highlighted the MAO-mediated, chiral zirconocene-catalyzed methylalumination of terminal olefins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reevaluation of the Palladium/Carbon-Catalyzed Decarbonylation of Aliphatic Aldehydes

TL;DR: An improved method for the decarbonylation of aliphatic ­aldehydes by using a commercially available Pd/C catalyst is described, which exhibits good functional-group tolerance and reaction conditions suitable for linear, cyclic, or sterically demanding substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ESR analysis of the mechanism of pericyclic reactions of bicyclobutane.

TL;DR: Experimental and simulated ESR data are in good agreement with a biradical mechanism for the intramolecular pericyclic reactions of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes.
