The elansolids A1–A3, B1, and B2 are secondary metabolites formed by the gliding bacterium Chitinophaga sancti. They show antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. A second generation total synthesis of the antibiotic elansolid B1 (2) and the first synthesis of elansolid B2 (3) are reported. In contrast to previous work, the (Z,E,Z)-triene at C10–C15 was assembled by using an optimized C–C cross-coupling sequence with a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction as key step.

A full account of the total synthesis of (±)-cassumunins A–C – superior antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents – is given. Two novel approaches were developed for synthesizing cassumunins. The total synthesis of cassumunins A and B was accomplished in five linear steps from a known aldehyde in good overall yields of 50 and 43%, respectively, featuring a cascade [3,3]-sigmatropic shift (the Claisen rearrangement) and Heck cross-coupling reaction. Consequently, the total synthesis of cassumunin C was accomplished in three linear steps from a known alcohol with an overall yield of 53%. The key features involved in this synthesis are tandem [3,3]-sigmatropic shift, SN2′ reaction, and aldol condensation. Moreover, a total of eighteen symmetrical and unsymmetrical curcumin analogues were synthesized.

A library of novel 2-substituted derivatives of the antibiotic natural product pentenomycin I is presented. The new collection of analogues is divided in two main classes, 2-alkynyl- and 2-aryl- derivatives, which are accessed by the appropriate type of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the 2-iodo-protected pentenomycin I with suitable nucleophiles. The new derivatives were tested for their activity against certain types of bacteria and one of them, compound 8h, was found to exhibit significant inhibitory activity against several Gram-positive bacteria but also displayed cytotoxic activity against eukaryotic cell lines.

AbstractAn efficient total synthesis of the naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and antitumour 8-O-4′-neolignans, surinamensinols A and B, has been accomplished from commercially available allyl alcohol and (S)-ethyl lactate. The synthetic sequence involves a palladium-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction followed by a chiral Mitsunobu­ reaction as the key steps. This is the first report of the simultaneous stereoselective total synthesis of surinamensinols A and B through a single approach involving only six steps.

The first total synthesis of melovinone, a nonrutaceous 3-methoxy-4-quinolone alkaloid isolated from Melochia tomentosa L., is reported. The target was acquired in a convergent fashion through the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between an ortho-nitrobenzoic acid acetonyl ester derivative prepared from vanillin and potassium 5-phenyl-1-pentyltrifluoroborate, obtained from β-phenethyl bromide. The coupling was followed by a chemoselective reduction of the nitro group and a microwave-assisted and AcOH-promoted cyclization with rearrangement of the resulting acetonyl anthranilate. This afforded a pseudane intermediate, which was selectively methylated on the 3-OH. The synthetic pathway enabled to reach the objective in 11 steps and 18% overall yield. The 1H NMR spectra of the synthetic and natural product were in full agreement.

A cobalt-catalyzed, indium-mediated difunctionalization of iodoalkyl-tethered unactivated alkenes for accessing five-membered cyclic compounds via a cyclization/cross-coupling sequence was developed.
