We completed a new and efficient synthesis of D-chalcose (I) and the first synthesis of its C-3 epimer (I′) in nine steps with overall yields of 23% and 24%, respectively. The key steps in the sequence were the formation of the stereocenter on C3 via Grignard reaction, the introduction of the stereogenic center on C2 by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, the protection of the C1 and C2 hydroxy groups with tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TBSOTf), and the selective cleavage of the primary OTBS ether using catalytic DL-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) in MeOH.

A simple and novel synthesis of (+)-monocerin was achieved from 3-buten-1-ol employing HKR, Julia olefination, intramolecular tandem Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation-SN2 cyclization and a novel copper mediated tandem cyanation–cyclization as the key steps.

D-Fructose is used as the chiral pool starting material for the stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-neplanocin A. Zinc mediated fragmentation, ring-closing metathesis and oxidative rearrangement of cyclic tertiary allylic alcohol are used as the key steps in achieving the synthesis of key carbocylic intermediate. Further, stereoselective total synthesis of 4'-epi-(+)-aristeromycin and the conversion of (+)-neplanocin A to a mixture of (+)-aristeromycin and 4'-epi-(+)-aristeromycin are described.

Mariamide A, a lignanamide isolated from the seeds of Silybum marianum, has demonstrated potential utility as an antioxidant and antidiabetic agent and possesses an 8-O-4′ neolignan skeleton. Herein, a first total synthesis of mariamide A is presented that proceeds in nine steps using vanillin as the starting material. The key steps for the preparation of mariamide A involve an I2-catalyzed bromomethoxylation of an alkene group, a nucleophilic substitution followed by a sequential elimination and a monoacylation reaction.

The (−)-enantiomer, ent-3, of the natural product (+)-cladospolide C (3) has been prepared for the first time using the monochiral cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 5 as starting material. Key steps include coupling of the derived acid 6 with the enzymatically generated (S)-(+)-4-penten-2-ol (7) and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of the resultant doubly unsaturated ester 8 to give lactone 9. The structure of this last compound has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. This work has established that the absolute configuration of (+)-cladospolide C has been correctly assigned and is as illustrated in structure 3.

: Paroxetine is a potent inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and is widely prescribed for the treatment of depression and other neurological disorders. The synthesis of paroxetine and the possibility to prepare derivatives with a specific substitution pattern that may allow their use as biological probes, is an attractive topic especially for medicinal chemists engaged in neurosciences research. Considering the extensive work that was developed in the last decade on the total synthesis of paroxetine, this review summarizes the most important contributions in this field, organized according to the reagent that was used as starting material. Most of the methods allowed to prepare paroxetine in 4-9 steps with an overall yield of 9-66%. Despite the progress made in this area, there is still room for improvement, searching for new eco-friendly and sustainable synthetic alternatives.

AbstractA concise and convergent stereoselective synthesis of curvulone B is described. The synthesis utilized a tandem isomerization followed by C–O and C–C bond-forming reactions following Mukaiyama-type aldol conditions for the construction of the trans-2,6-disubstituted dihydropyran ring system as the key steps. Other important features of this synthesis are a cross-metathesis, epimerization, and Friedel–Crafts acylation.
