The total synthesis of thromboxane B2 from D-glucose is described, based on the recognition of hidden carbohydrate-type symmetry in the molecule. Methyl 2-deoxy-α-D-ribo-hexopyranoside was prepared from D-glucose and manipulated in such a way as to introduce C-branching at C-4 in a stereocontrolled manner. This crucial intermediate was then transformed into the target compound by adaptations of established methodology in the field.

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.

In a 2016 screen of natural product extracts a new family of natural products, the cahuitamycins, was discovered and found to inhibit the formation of biofilms in the human pathogen <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>. The molecules contain an unusual piperazate residue that raises structure/function and biosynthesis questions and resemble iron-trafficking virulence factors from <i>A. baumannii</i>, suggesting a connection between metal homeostasis and biofilm-mediated pathogenicity. Here we disclose the first total synthesis of the reported structure of cahuitamycin A in a twelve-step longest linear sequence and 18% overall yield. Comparison of spectral data of the authentic natural product and synthetic target compound demonstrate that the reported structure is distinct from the isolated metabolite. Herein, we propose an alternative structure to reconcile our findings with the isolation report, setting the stage for future synthetic and biochemical investigations of an important class of natural products.

Abstract The first total synthesis of plantamajoside (1), 2-(3′,4′-dihydroxylphenyl)ethyl-4-O-caffeoyl-3-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside, which is one of the dihydroxyphenylethyl glycosides (caffeic acid sugar esters), is described. Key intermediate 2, 2-[3′,4′-bis(O-benzyl)phenyl]ethyl 2,6-di-O-acetyl-4-O-[3′,4′-bis(O-benzyl)caffeoyl]-β-D-glucopyranoside was glycosylated with trichloroacetoimidoyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glycopyranoside (3) to afford plantamajoside derivative 4a, 2-[3′,4′-bis(O-benzyl)phenyl]ethyl 2,6-di-O-acetyl-4-O-[3′,4′-bis(O-benzyl)caffeoyl]-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside, in 39% yield. Plantamajoside derivative 4a was successfully converted into the target compound, plantamajoside (1), through a series of de-protective procedures. 1H- and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data of the synthesized plantamajoside (1) were identical to those of the natural compound.
