An organosilane-based strategy has been used to accomplish the total synthesis of (–)-exiguolide. The key steps involve: (1) geminal bis(silyl) Prins cyclization to construct the A ring; (2) silicon-protected RCM reaction to construct the macrocycle; and (3) Hiyama–Denmark cross-coupling to install the side chain.

AbstractAn efficient total synthesis of the naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and antitumour 8-O-4′-neolignans, surinamensinols A and B, has been accomplished from commercially available allyl alcohol and (S)-ethyl lactate. The synthetic sequence involves a palladium-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction followed by a chiral Mitsunobu­ reaction as the key steps. This is the first report of the simultaneous stereoselective total synthesis of surinamensinols A and B through a single approach involving only six steps.

First total synthesis of giffonin H, a highly strained 15-membered macrocyclic diaryl ether, has been achieved. Key steps include Ullmann cross coupling, (Z)-selective Julia–Kocienski olefination, and fluoride-mediated macrocyclization of TMS-alkyne and aldehyde. The strategy used for macrocyclization is an unprecedented and unique synthetic approach for cyclic diarylheptanoids.

A total synthesis of (+/−) arthrographol (1) in seven steps from vanillin is reported. Key steps in the synthesis are a single-step conversion of 5-allylvanillin (2) into the benzofuranmethanol 6, alkylation of the chloride 25 with the lithium anion of crotyl phenyl sulfide to give the sulfide 26, and formation of the 1(E),3(E)-1,3-pentadienyl side chain of arthrographol (1) via oxidation of the sulfide 26 and subsequent elimination of phenylsulfenic acid. The synthetic (+/−) arthrographol (1) inhibits the growth of Ophiostoma clavigerum (Robin.-Jeff. & Davids.) Harrington, the most pathogenic of the fungi associated with the blue stain disease of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var latifolia Engelm.). Key words: arthographol, alkylation, 2-butenyl phenyl sulfide, polyketide.

Formal total synthesis of ent-codeinone and ent-codeine was accomplished via the total synthesis of ent-neopinone attained in 14 steps from β-bromoethylbenzene. The key steps included (i) enzymatic dihydroxylation of β-bromoethylbenzene with E. coli JM109 (pDTG601a), an organism that overexpresses toluene dioxygenase, (ii) a Heck reaction to establish C-13 stereogenic center, (iii) aldol condensation, and (iv) 1,6-conjugate addition of the ethylamino side chain to C-9. Several other modes of construction of the C-9 and C-14 centers were also investigated: Mannich cyclization, and aza-Prins reaction. The synthesis of ent-codeinone was formalized by intersecting Fukuyama’s recently published approach. Experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.

<div>The first total synthesis of rhabdastrellic acid A, a highly cytotoxic isomalabaricane triterpenoid, has been accomplished in a linear sequence of 14 steps from commercial geranylacetone. The prominently strained <i>trans-syn-trans</i>-perhydrobenz[<i>e</i>]indene core characteristic of the isomalabaricanes is efficiently accessed in a selective manner for the first time through a rapid, complexity-generating sequence incorporating a reductive radical polyene cyclization, an unprecedented oxidative Rautenstrauch cycloisomerization, and umpolung 𝛼-substitution of a <i>p</i>-toluenesulfonylhydrazone with in situ reductive transposition. A late-stage cross-coupling in concert with a modular approach to polyunsaturated side chains renders this a general strategy for the synthesis of numerous family members of these synthetically challenging and hitherto inaccessible marine triterpenoids.</div>

: A new synthesis of the 2,6-naphthyridine alkaloid 4-methyl-2,6-naphthyridine from Antirrhinum majus has been developed. Key steps are a regioselective oxidation of 3-bromo-4,5- dimethylpyridine to the corresponding 4-formyl derivative, and the annulation of the second pyridine ring by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling using (E)-2-ethoxyvinylboronic acid pinacol ester as a masked acetaldehyde equivalent. This protocol gives the alkaloid in four steps starting from commercially available 3,4-dimethylpyridine in 15% overall yield. This annulation protocol should be useful for the synthesis of other condensed pyridines as well.

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.

A straightforward chiral pool synthesis for the first fluorinated calystegin is described. Key steps of this synthesis include an ultrasound-assisted Zn-mediated tandem ring opening reaction followed by a Grubbs’ catalyst-mediated ring closure metathesis reaction. The target compound is a selective and competitive inhibitor for a β -glycosidase.
