TL;DR: A convergent asymmetric synthesis of the antinoeplastic macrolide antibiotic cytovaricin has been achieved through the synthesis and coupling of the illustrated spiroketal and polyol glycoside subunits.
Abstract: A convergent asymmetric synthesis of the antinoeplastic macrolide antibiotic cytovaricin has been achieved through the synthesis and coupling of the illustrated spiroketal and polyol glycoside subunits. All absolute steroechemical relationships within the target structure were ultimately controlled by the use of asymmetric aldol, alkylation, or epoxidation methodology. Union of the two subnits was accomplished by Julia-Lythgoe trans olefination, providing direct access to a suitable macrolactonization substrate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that disconnections between L-leucine and the HIP group (2S, 4S) and between Lthreonine and isostatine (3S,4R, 5S) would afford two units: a HIP-isostatines unit (I) and a tetrapeptide unit (II) respectively.
Abstract: Didemnins A, B, and C were efficiently prepared in a stereocontrolled manner, producing the common macrocycle and, in a separate step, introducing the substituents on the amino group of L-threonine as optically pure units. We envisaged that disconnections between L-leucine and the HIP group (2S,4S) and between L-threonine and isostatine (3S,4R,5S) would afford two units: a HIP-isostatine unit (I) and a tetrapeptide unit (II)

TL;DR: The first enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-macbecin I has been performed in a convergent manner by coupling the epoxide (3) with a higher order cyanocuprate derived from the vinyl iodide (46) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The first total enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-macbecin I has been performed in a convergent manner by coupling the epoxide (3) with a higher order cyanocuprate derived from the vinyl iodide (46). The required absolute stereochemistries at C(20)–C(21) and C(12)–C(13) were accessible by enantioselective aldol condensations while that at C(16)–C(17) was achieved by Sharpless epoxidation of a secondary (E)-allylic alcohol (39), efficiently prepared by reaction of the aldehyde (37) with CrCl2-CH3CHI2. The remaining stereocentre at C-18 was introduced by an asymmetric hydroxylation of an enolate. Macrocyclization of the amino acid (59) to give the lactam (60) was successfully achieved by its reaction with either 2-mesitylenesulphonyl chloride or bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphinic chloride. Incorporation of the carbamate functionality was achieved by reaction of the parent hydroxy derivative with sodium cyanate and trifluoroacetic acid. The final oxidation to the quinone was accomplished with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate.

TL;DR: In this article, the oxazoline-mediated biaryl coupling reaction was applied successfully to the total synthesis of a series of dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans in chiral nonracemic form.
Abstract: The oxazoline-mediated biaryl coupling reaction was applied successfully to the total synthesis of a series of dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans in chiral nonracemic form. The diastereoselectivities achieved in the coupling reaction varied in a predictable manner, primarily as a function of the ortho substituents on the phenyl Grignard reagent

TL;DR: The synthesis of (±)-jatrophone and its epimer was completed with use of a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of a vinylic triflate with an organostannane as the key step as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Jatrophone is a macrocyclic diterpene which exhibits significant inhibitory activity in vivo and in vitro against various carcinomas. The synthesis of (±)-jatrophone and its epimer was completed with use of a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of a vinylic triflate with an organostannane as the key step. The synthesis of epi-jatrophone was first completed to establish the chemistry for jatrophone. The overall sequence for each synthesis required 16 steps starting from 4-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. The overall yields were 0.83% and 0.28%, respectively

Abstract: Synthesis of optically pure α-tert-butyl β-methyl (2S,3R)-3-ethylhexahydroquinolinate (18) in 54-59% yield from L-aspartic acid was the foundation for a practical synthesis of (+)-vincamine. This synthesis provides (+)-vincamine, demonstrated to be >99% enantiomerically pure, in 24-26% overall yield from L-aspartic acid

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an asymmetric version of the previously published synthesis of methyl homosecodaphniphyllate (2) was obtained by adding the lithium enolate of the C 2 -symmetric amide to α,β-unsaturated ester to give ester amide 12.
Abstract: (-)-Secodaphniphylline (1) has been prepared by total synthesis. The early stages,of the synthesis were an asymmetric version of the previously published synthesis of methyl homosecodaphniphyllate (2). The necessary chirality was secured by an asymmetric Michael addition reaction of the lithium enolate of the C 2 -symmetric amide 9 to α,β-unsaturated ester 10 to give ester amide 12. The conversion of 12 into (-)-2 was modelled after the previously reported synthesis in the analogous racemic series
