Herein, a convergent, practicable and first total synthesis of the natural product, (±)-methyl salvianolate A, is reported. The key features of the approach are the use of a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction and the protection of multiple hydroxyls using silyl protecting groups. The employment of the readily removable silyl protecting groups allows the synthesis of (±)-methyl salvianolate A and its derivatives on a reasonably large scale.

Huperzine A was approved for curing Alzheimers disease in the early 1990s in China. We explored a highly-efficient synthetic route for the key intermediate in the total synthesis of this natural product. Only common reagents and conditions were involved. So our new route has potential application in large-scale preparation of the key intermediate.

A formal total synthesis of the anticancer natural product kanamienamide has been accomplished. This communication describes two approaches to the macrocyclic core of the natural product. The key features of the route include an efficient macrolactamization, a Corey–Bakshi–Shibata asymmetric reduction, and a Stork–Zhao–Wittig olefination.

A mild and highly efficient metal-free oxidative α-cyanation of N-acyl/sulfonyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) has been accomplished at an ambient temperature via DDQ oxidation and subsequent trapping of N-acyl/sulfonyl iminium ions with (n-Bu)3SnCN. Employing readily removable N-acyl/sulfonyl groups as protecting groups rather than N-aryl ones enables a wide range of applications in natural product synthesis. The synthetic utility of the method was illustrated using a short and efficient formal total synthesis of (±)-calycotomine in three steps.

<div>An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of (9R,14R,17R)-FE399, a novel antitumor bicyclic depsipeptide, was developed. A 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA)-mediated dehydration condensation reaction was effectively employed for the formation of the 16-membered macrocyclic depsipeptide moiety of FE399. FE399 was found to exist as an inseparable equilibrium mixture of conformational isomers; the mixture was quantitatively transformed into the corresponding S-benzyl product and isolated as a single isomer. Thus, we could confirm that the molecular structure of FE399 obtained by this method is identical to that of the natural product.</div>

We report an efficient ten-step synthesis of antiviral natural product cavinafungin B in 37% overall yield. By leveraging a one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of (2S,4R)-4-methylproline and oxazolidine-tethered (Rink-Boc-ATG-resin) SPPS methodology, the assembly of our molecular target could be conducted in an efficient manner.This general strategy could prove amenable to the construction of other natural and unnatural linear lipopeptides. The value of incorporating biocatalytic steps in complex molecule synthesis is highlighted by this work.
