Oxidation of the previously prepared olefinic alcohol 26 with chromium trioxide – pyridine in dichloromethane containing trifluoroacetic acid gave the tricyclic ketone 29 as the major product. Hydroxylation of the latter, followed by reduction of the resulting α-hydroxy ketone 31, afforded a 1:1 mixture of (+)-cis- (22) and (+)-trans-sativenediol (23). In view of earlier synthetic transformations reported by a number of different researchers, the present work also constitutes formal total syntheses of the enantiomers of the following sesquiterpenoids: (−)-helminthosporal (1), (−)-helminthosporol (2), prehelminthosporal (3), prehelminthosporal diethyl acetal (4), (−)-victoxinine (8), and (−)-isosativenediol (19).

Condensation of 4-bromoisochroman-3-one (8a) with N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxy-β-phenethylamine (7) provides the aminolactone 9a which by diisobutylaluminum hydride reduction followed by polyphosphoric acid mediated cyclization gives the tetracyclic product 10a, thus constituting a convergent, short entry into the rhoeadan alkaloid skeleton. Chromium trioxide oxidation of 10a affords a low yield of the corresponding lactone 11a. A parallel series of reactions starting from 7,8-dimethoxy-4-bromoisochroman-3-one (8b), prepared either via Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of 4,5-dimethoxy-2-indanone (14) or, more conveniently, via benzeneboronic acid assisted condensation of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenylacetic acid (18) with formaldehyde, yields 7,8,12,13-tetramethoxy-3-methylrhoeadan (10b). Oxidation of compound 10b with chromium trioxide gives the corresponding lactone 11b also in low yield. Since 11b has been previously converted into (±)-cis-alpinigenine (11c) and (±)-cis-alpinine(11d), this work constitutes total syntheses of these alkaloids.

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.

The biological activities of shancigusin C (1) and bletistrin G (2), natural products isolated from orchids, are reported along with their first total syntheses. The total synthesis of shancigusin C (1) was conducted by employing the Perkin reaction to forge the central stilbene core, whereas the synthesis of bletistrin G (2) was achieved by the Wittig olefination followed by several regioselective aromatic substitution reactions. Both syntheses were completed by applying only renewable starting materials according to the principles of xylochemistry. The cytotoxic properties of shancigusin C (1) and bletistrin G (2) against tumor cells suggest suitability as a starting point for further structural variation.

Hydroxy ketone 7 has been prepared from both (+)-dihydrocarvone (3) and (+)-occidentalol (2), thus establishing the absolute stereostructure of the latter. The three-stage conversion of compound 7 into (+)-occidentalol constitutes a total synthesis of the sesquiterpene.

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

Clavaminols are a new class of long-chain 2-amino-3-­alkanols that mostly contain 2R,3S-configurations. Owing to their interesting molecular architectures and promising activities, they have ­become popular targets for synthetic organic chemists.
