The chemical synthesis of carbacyclopamine analog 2, a cyclopamine analog with an all-carbon E-ring, is reported. The use of C–H-functionalization logic and further metal-catalyzed transformations allows for a concise entry to this new class of acid-stable cyclopamine analogs.

The first chemical synthesis of a dihydroceramide aminoethylphosphonate is described. It is a saturated representative of a new class of recently discovered, naturally occurring complex lipids derived from phosphonic acid. The compound, viz. erythro-N-palmitoyl-DL-dihydrosphingosyl-1-(2-aminoethyl)-phosphonate, was obtained by two procedures: phosphonylation of erythro-N-palmitoyl-3-O-benzoyl-DL-dihydrosphingosine with (2-N,N-dibenzylammoethyl)phosphonic acid chloride (hydrochloride) and triethylamine, or with (2-phthalimidoethyl)phosphonic acid monochloride and triethylamine, and freeing the reaction products of both procedures, viz. erythro-N-palmitoyl-3-O-benzoyl-DL-dihydrosphingosyl-1-(2-N,N-dibenzylaminoethyl)phosphonate and erythro-N-palmitoyl-3-O-benzoyl-DL-dihydrosphingosyl-1-(2-phthalimidoethyl)phosphonate, from their protective benzyl or phthaloyl group by hydrogenolysis or hydrazinolysis, respectively, followed in both cases by removal of the benzoyl group by saponification.The (2-N,N-dibenzylaminoethyl)phosphonic acid was obtained by treating (2-bromoethyl)phosphonic acid with N,N-dibenzylamine and converting the reaction product, viz. the dibenzylammonium salt of (2-N,N-dibenzylaminoethyl)phosphonic acid, into the free acid by steam distillation.

Reductive aminases (RedAms) for the stereoselective amination of ketones represent an environmentally benign and economically viable alternative to transition metal–catalyzed asymmetric chemical synthesis. Here, we report two RedAms from Aspergillus calidoustus (AcRedAm) and bacteria (BaRedAm) with NADPH-dependent features. The enzymes can synthesize a set of secondary amines using a broad range of ketone and amine substrates with up to 97% conversion. To synthesize the pharmaceutical ingredient (R)-rasagiline, we engineered AcRedAm through rational design to obtain highly stereoselective mutants. The best mutant Q237A from AcRedAm could synthesize (R)-rasagiline with >99% enantiomeric excess with moderate conversion. The features of AcRedAm and BaRedAm highlight their potential for further study and expand the biocatalytic toolbox for industrial applications.

New class of biologically active and non-active compounds can be synthesized via transition metal mediated Suzuki cross coupling reaction that has a great impact on the advancement of organic chemistry. These resulted products can lend a helping hand in pharmaceutical and polymer chemistry for the betterment of mankind. Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction is one of the best tools through which many natural and non-natural compounds can be synthesized.
