TLDR
The cdc25A protein phosphatase inhibitor dysidiolide has been synthesized enantioselectively, starting from the enantiomerically pure ketal enone 2 and using a cationic rearrangement as the key step to produce the fully substituted bicyclic core of the natural product.
Abstract
The cdc25A protein phosphatase inhibitor dysidiolide (1) has been synthesized enantioselectively, starting from the enantiomerically pure ketal enone 2 and using a cationic rearrangement as the key step to produce the fully substituted bicyclic core of the natural product. Once the central portion of 1 was established, elaboration of the side chains was accomplished expediently via steps that included (1) vinyl cuprate displacement of an iodide to complete the C-1 side chain, (2) a highly diastereoselective oxazaborolidine-catalyzed (CBS) reduction to form carbinol 11, and (3) photochemical oxidation of 11 to generate the γ-hydroxybutenolide functionality of 1. Additionally, this synthesis proves the absolute stereochemistry of dysidiolide (1).

Asymmetric Catalysis by Architectural and Functional Molecular Engineering: Practical Chemo‐ and Stereoselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

TL;DR: The newly devised [RuCl(2)(phosphane)(2)(1,2-diamine)] complexes are excellent precatalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation of simple ketones which lack any functionality capable of interacting with the metal center.

Compound library development guided by protein structure similarity clustering and natural product structure

TL;DR: Protein structure similarity clustering of the ligand-sensing cores of protein domains is proposed in conjunction with natural product guided compound library development as a synergistic approach for the identification of biologically prevalidated ligands with high fidelity.

Dual-specificity phosphatases as targets for antineoplastic agents

TL;DR: It is hoped that this comprehensive overview of the salient developments in the biology and medicinal chemistry of dual-specificity phosphatases will stimulate further progress in the development of small-molecule inhibitors that could form the basis for a new class of target-directed therapeutic agents.

A stable and easily prepared catalyst for the enantioselective reduction of ketones. Applications to multistep syntheses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a new method for the catalytic enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols, where the stoichiometric reagent in the reduction is borane and the catalyst is a chiral oxazaborolidine such as 1 (0.05-0.1 molfmol of ketone).

Novel reagent system for converting a hydroxy-group into an iodo-group in carbohydrates with inversion of configuration. Part 2

TL;DR: In this article, isolated primary and secondary hydroxy-groups in carbohydrate derivatives are transformed into iodo-groups with inversion of configuration on treatment with either triphenylphosphine, iodine, and imidazole or triphensyl-phosphines and 2,4,5-tri-iodoimidazoles at elevated temperatures.
