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.

A formal total synthesis of pancratistatin was accomplished by conversion of advanced intermediates, used in the synthesis of narciclasine, to pancratistatin precursors via Myers’ reductive transposition as the key strategic step. The synthesis began with the whole cell fermentation of m-dibromobenzene with JM109(pDTG601a), a recombinant strain that over-expresses toluene dioxygenase, which provided the corresponding cis-dihydrodiol 16 as a single isomer with complete optical purity. The key reductive transposition of the allylic alcohol 8a to olefin 9a allowed for further installation of the C-1/C-2 trans-diol, ­required for the pancratistatin scaffold, through the introduction of a cyclic sulfate and its subsequent opening. The formal synthesis of pancratistatin was accomplished in 14 steps (12 operations) from commercially available m-dibromobenzene. Experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.

Zr-mediated equilibrating cyclocarbonylation of a designed triene led with high diastereocontrol to the ABC 6-6-5 tricyclic core of ritterazine N. The 5-5 EF spiroketal side chain of ritterazine N was prepared by equilibrating cyclization of an acyclic keto diol. The two components were coupled, and the D ring was assembled by intramolecular aldol condensation.

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 total synthesis of the naturally occurring ionophore zincophorin has been realized. The key steps are an intramolecular oxymercuration of a cyclopropanemethanol for the elaboration of the tetrahydropyran ring and a Carroll–Claisen rearrangement to control the configuration of the double bond at C20–C21 as well as the stereogenic center at C21.

A convergent and efficient approach towards the total synthesis of Kadcotrione B is described. For this purpose, the syntheses of two fragments, 6/6/5-fused tricyclic ring and C-9 side chain, were accomplished. The salient features of these syntheses are the utilization of aldol condensation, Evans aldol reaction, Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination, Michael addition, Robinson annulation, and Wacker oxidation.

A total synthesis of the title natural product, 1, has been achieved using the cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 7 as starting material. Compound 7 is readily obtained in large quantity and in an enantiomerically pure form through the whole-cell biotransformation of toluene using the genetically engineered microorganism E. coli JM109 (pDTG601) that overexpresses the enzyme toluene dioxygenase (TDO). Three key chemical steps were employed in the synthesis, the first of which was the microwave-promoted Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction between diene 8 and cyclopent-1-en-2-one to give adduct 9. The second key step was the photochemically promoted oxa-di-π-methane rearrangement of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone derivative 15 of 9 to give the epimers 16 and 17, and the third key step was the reductive cleavage of the last pair of compounds so as to afford the linear triquinane 19. Elaboration of compound 19 to target 1 followed established procedures. Single-crystal X-ray analyses were carried out on compounds 11 and 19.

The total synthesis of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone was attained from phenethyl acetate in a stereoselective manner. Absolute stereochemistry was established via enzymatic dihydroxylation of phenethyl acetate with the recombinant strain JM109 (pDTG601A) that furnished the corresponding cis-cyclohexadienediol whose configuration corresponds to the absolute stereochemistry of the ring C of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone. Intramolecular Heck reaction was utilized to establish the quaternary carbon at C-13, along with the dibenzodihydrofuran functionality. The C-14 hydroxyl and C-10 ketone were installed via SmI2-mediated radical cyclization, and oxidation of a benzylic alcohol (obtained from an intermediate nitrate azide), respectively. The synthesis of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone was completed in a total of 14 operations (21 steps) and an overall yield of ~2%. Experimental and spectral data are provided for key intermediates and new compounds.

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.

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.
