Total synthesis of (+)-cortistatin A.
Kyriacos C. Nicolaou,Kyriacos C. Nicolaou,Kyriacos C. Nicolaou,Ya-Ping Sun,Xiao-Shui Peng,Damien Polet,David Y.-K. Chen +6 more
TL;DR: A total synthesis of cortistatin A is reported, through a flexible synthetic strategy which may be applied to the construction of other members of the class, natural or designed, and reveals a unique abeo-9(10-19)-androstane steroidal skeleton onto whose E ring is attached an isoquinoline moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total synthesis and biological evaluation of cortistatins A and J and analogues thereof.
Kyriacos C. Nicolaou,Xiao-Shui Peng,Ya-Ping Sun,Damien Polet,Bin Zou,Chek Shik Lim,David Y.-K. Chen +6 more
TL;DR: The developed synthetic technologies were applied to the construction of several analogues of the cortistatins which were biologically evaluated and compared to the natural products with regards to their antiproliferative activities against a variety of cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrathio and Tetraseleno[8]circulenes: Synthesis, Structures, and Properties
Xiaodong Xiong,Chun-Lin Deng,Boris F. Minaev,Gleb V. Baryshnikov,Xiao-Shui Peng,Henry N. C. Wong +5 more
TL;DR: Novel sulfur and selenium-bridged [8]circulenes were prepared from octabromotetraphenylene, and computational results reveal that the central eight-membered ring has highly antiaromatic character.
Journal ArticleDOI
A concise construction of the chlorahololide heptacyclic core.
Yin-Suo Lu,Xiao-Shui Peng +1 more
TL;DR: A concise and efficient strategy for the construction of the heptacyclic core of the chloranthaceae family has been developed and comprises an S(N)2-type intramolecular nucleophilic substitution and a biomimetic endo-Diels-Alder cycloaddition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron-catalysed cross-coupling of organolithium compounds with organic halides
TL;DR: An efficient synthetic protocol involving iron-catalysed cross-coupling reactions employing organolithium compounds as key coupling partners to unite aryl, alkyl and benzyl fragments is reported and an efficient iron- catalysed release-capture ethylene coupling with isopropyllithium is disclosed.
