TLDR
The total synthesis of the perhydrohistrionicotoxin intermediate 23 was achieved in 25% overall-yield and represents a novel method for stereospecific and position-specific introduction of a nucleophilic butyl equivalent in α-position to a ketonic carbonyl group.
Abstract
Starting from ethyl 2-cyclohexen-1-carboxylate (3) the total synthesis of the perhydrohistrionicotoxin intermediate 23 was achieved in 25% overall-yield. The two key steps involve a positionally specific addition of HOBr to the oxime-olefin 7 and the alkylation of bromooxime 17 with 1-lithio-1-butyne. The latter represents a novel method for stereospecific and position-specific introduction of a nucleophilic butyl equivalent in α-position to a ketonic carbonyl group.

Der Stand der Totalsynthese zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors stellten die Frage, welchen Stand die Totalsynthese von Naturstoffen erreicht hat, und geschildert, wie viel wir in der Wissenschaft der Totalsynthesis schon erreich haben, aber also, dass dieses Forschungsgebiet den Kinderschuhen gerade erst entschlupft.

Manganese triacetate mediated regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for the direct conversion of oximes into aldehydes and ketones by treatment with manganese triacetate is described, which can be used for an effective and mild oxidizing agent for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes in good yield.

A carbene-yielding amino acid for incorporation into peptide photoaffinity reagents.

TL;DR: 3-[p-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenyl]alanine has been prepared in 10 steps from p-bromobenzyl alcohol and the advantages of using this amino acid as a building block for peptide photoaffinity reagents is discussed.

Acetylcholine Receptor and Ion Conductance Modulator Sites at the Murine Neuromuscular Junction: Evidence from Specific Toxin Reactions

TL;DR: Electrophysiological results, together with the effects of perhydrohistrionicotoxin and/or d-tubocurarine on the binding of [(3)H]monoacetyl-alpha-bungarot toxin at endplates of murine diaphragm muscle and on the bungarotoxin-elicited irreversible blockade of neuromuscular transmission, suggest that at least two types of sites participate in the synaptic excitation by acetylcholine
