Our recent progress on the total synthesis of marine anti-cancer sesquiterpene quinone/hydroquinone dysideanone B and dysiherbol A was briefly highlighted. This success relied on some key transformations. The union of the terpene and quinone/hydroquinone moieties was realized through a site and stereoselective α-position alkylation of Wieland–Miescher ketone derivative with a bulky benzyl bromide. The 6/6/6/6-tetracycle of dysideanone B was constructed using an intramolecular radical cyclization and the 6/6/5/6-fused core structure of dysiherbol A was forged by an intramolecular Heck reaction, respectively. The possible origin of ethoxy group in dysideanone B was revealed by mimicking the isolation conditions at a late-stage. The structure of dysiherbol A was revised through the total synthesis of this natural product. Schmalz’s synthesis of dysiherbol A was also included.

The total synthesis of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone was attained from phenethyl acetate in a stereoselective manner. Absolute stereochemistry was established via enzymatic dihydroxylation of phenethyl acetate with the recombinant strain JM109 (pDTG601A) that furnished the corresponding cis-cyclohexadienediol whose configuration corresponds to the absolute stereochemistry of the ring C of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone. Intramolecular Heck reaction was utilized to establish the quaternary carbon at C-13, along with the dibenzodihydrofuran functionality. The C-14 hydroxyl and C-10 ketone were installed via SmI2-mediated radical cyclization, and oxidation of a benzylic alcohol (obtained from an intermediate nitrate azide), respectively. The synthesis of (+)-10-keto-oxycodone was completed in a total of 14 operations (21 steps) and an overall yield of ~2%. Experimental and spectral data are provided for key intermediates and new compounds.

The first total synthesis of S-(+)-XJP and R-(−)-XJP has been achieved via intramolecular Heck reaction. A latent functionality strategy was implemented to circumvent the racemization in this endeavor.
