A de novo protecting-group-free total synthesis of (+)-muricadienin, (+)-ancepsenolide and (+)-3-hexadecyl-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one has been achieved by ring-closing-metathesis and sp–sp3 Sonogashira type coupling.

Melotenine A, isolated from Melodinus tenuicaudatus, possesses significant anticancer activity against several human cancer cell lines. The synthesis of (±)-melotenine A was achieved without the use of any protecting groups in 11 steps with an overall yield of 7%. The key steps of our strategy were the Diels–Alder reaction to construct the tetracyclic framework and ring-closing metathesis to form the seven-membered ring of (±)-melotenine A.

A fast, protecting-group-free synthesis of dihydropyridinones has been developed. Starting from commercially available aldehydes, a novel one-pot amidoallylation gave access to diene compounds in good yields. Ring-closing metathesis conditions were then employed to produce the target dihydropyridinones efficiently and in high yields.

The total syntheses of the polyhydroxylated macrolactone (+)-aspicilin and a diastereoisomer have been achieved via a concise route, starting from the spatially desymmetrized (R',R',R,S)-2,3-butanediacetal-protected butane tetrol 13. The key steps include a regioselective silyl protection of 13 and a stereoselective Lewis acid mediated addition of allyltributylstannane to the equatorially disposed aldehyde of 4. Macrocyclization is achieved using ring closing metathesis, after which selective hydrogenation and protecting group removal yields the natural product.Key words: aspicilin, butanediacetal, desymmetrization, macrolactone, metathesis.

The cytotoxic natural product (+)-goniodiol (1) has been prepared in twelve steps from the enantiomerically pure cis-dihydrocatechol (2), which is readily obtained by microbial oxidation of naphthalene. Elaboration of compound (2) involves an initial oxidative cleavage to dialdehyde (7) followed by reduction to give diol (12). Conversion of compound (12) into acetal (17) required, inter alia, selective oxidation of the benzylic alcohol moiety followed by a metal-catalyzed decarbonylation of the resulting aldehyde. Allylation of compound (17) with allyltributylstannane in the presence of lithium perchlorate gave a ca. 2.7 : 1 mixture of alcohols (18) and (19), each of which was converted into the corresponding acrylate under standard conditions. Subjection of these ester derivatives to a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction with Grubbs' first-generation catalyst gave the anticipated lactones (22) and (23). Acid-catalyzed removal of the acetonide protecting group within compound (22) then afforded (+)-goniodiol (1), while analogous deprotection of congener (23) afforded 6-epi-(+)-goniodiol (24).

A practical and concise total synthesis of tricyclic ketone 7 (CDE ring), a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of racemic camptothecin and analogs, was described (8 chemical steps and 29% overall yield). The synthesis starts with two inexpensive, readily available materials and is operationally simple to perform. It is worth mentioning that the reported protecting group-free synthesis, with advantages of a short route, would be helpful for the future development of industry-scale syntheses of camptothecin-family alkaloids.
