TL;DR: A highly convergent, stereocontrolled total synthesis of the potent antiproliferative agent (+)-phorboxazole A (1) has been achieved.
Abstract: A highly convergent, stereocontrolled total synthesis of the potent antiproliferative agent (+)-phorboxazole A (1) has been achieved. Highlights of the synthesis include: modified Petasis−Ferrier rearrangements for assembly of both the C(11−15) and C(22−26) cis-tetrahydropyran rings; extension of the Julia olefination to the synthesis of enol ethers; the design, synthesis, and application of a novel bifunctional oxazole linchpin; and Stille coupling of a C(28) trimethyl stannane with a C(29) oxazole triflate. The longest linear sequence leading to (+)-phorboxazole A (1) was 27 steps, with an overall yield of 3%.

TL;DR: Glycals (or usually their O-substituted derivatives) are readily converted into 2,3-unsaturated glycosyl compounds with O-, C-, N-, S- or otherwise linked substituents at the anomeric position as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Glycals (or usually their O-substituted derivatives) are readily converted into 2,3-unsaturated glycosyl compounds with O-, C-, N-, S- or otherwise linked substituents at the anomeric position. These products have been found to be useful for a range of synthetic purposes. In particular, the C-glycosidic compounds have served as readily available starting materials for the preparation of useful non-carbohydrate compounds. While these allylic rearrangement processes are usually conducted under the influence of Lewis acid catalysts, adaptations that involve activation of the allylic substituents of the starting glycals as leaving groups under neutral conditions have been developed. General features of the reactions are described as well as applications in synthesis and extensions of the basic processes.

TL;DR: Scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate was found to catalyze efficiently the O-glycosidation of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal with various alcohols and phenols to afford the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated glycosides in excellent yields with good anomeric selectivity as discussed by the authors.
