This paper describes a structure-based approach to elucidate the stereospecificity, including inversion of enantioselectivity, of the 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase-catalyzed asymmetric aldol addition reaction using unnatural substrates designed for the total synthesis of epothilones. In addition, an aldolase variant with Ser-238 being altered for Asp was found to be 2.5 times more effective than the wild type in accepting the unphosphorylated substrate D-glyceraldehyde. A new H-bonding interaction between the Asp-238 carboxylate and the 3-hydroxyl of the substrate was identified and was used to rationalize the rate enhancements.Key words: aldol reaction, 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, mutagenesis, inversion of enantioselectivity.

A highly efficient quinine-derived primary-amine-catalyzed asymmetric aldol addition of hydroxyacetone to arylglyoxals is described. Structurally diverse anti-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-diones were generated in high yields, with good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.

The total synthesis of biselide A based on our earlier strategy of synthesizing haterumalides is reported. The highlights of this approach are the use of regioselective enzymatic hydrolysis for the installation of a C20 oxygen functional group and an asymmetric aldol reaction for the stereoselective introduction of a C3 oxygen functional group.

A concise stereoselective approach to functionalized δ-lactone skeleton from monosilylated ethylene glycol as a starting material and its application to the asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-trans-aerangis lactone have been demonstrated. The synthesis utilizes the organocatalyzed MacMillan’s cross aldol reaction as a key step.

Since the early 1980s, aldol condensations involving boron enolates have gain great importance in asymmetric synthesis, particularly the synthesis of natural products with adjacent stereogenic centers bearing hydroxyl and methyl groups. (Z)-Boron enolates tend to give a high diastereoslectivity preference for the syn-stereochemistry while (E)-boron enolates favor the anti-stereochemistry. Because the B-O and B-C bonds are shorter than other metals with oxygen and carbon, the six membered Zimmerman–Traxler transition state in the aldol condensation tends to be more compact which accentuates steric interactions, thus leading to higher diastereoselectivity. When this feature is coupled with a boron enolate bearing a chiral auxillary, high enantioselectivity is achieved. Boron enolates are generated from a ketone and boron triflate in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine. Reviews: (a) Abiko, A. Acc. Chem. Res. 2004, 37, 387-395. (b) Cowden, C. J.
