Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-vincristine.

A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of dysiherbaine.

A total synthesis of dysiherbaine, a potent agonist of AMPA-KA type glutamate receptors, has been accomplished in completely stereocontrolled manner starting from tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal in 25 steps and in 3% overall yield.

Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-vinblastine.

A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-vinblastine was accomplished, featuring preparations of the two indole units by means of a novel indole synthesis via radical cyclization of thioanilide, and a stereoselective coupling of these units.

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Polyfunctionalized cis-Decalins from 2-Methoxyphenols: Total Syntheses of (()-Eremopetasidione, (()-3â-Angeloyloxyfuranoeremophilane, and (()-3â-Methacryloyloxyfuranoeremophilane

A four-step stereocontrolled synthesis of polyfunctionalized cis-decalins is described, involving oxidation of 2-methoxyphenol, intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction, olefination, and Cope rearrangement. Application of this efficient strategy to the total syntheses of (()-eremopetasidione, (()-3â-angeloyloxyfuranoeremophilane, and (()-3â-methacryloyloxyfuranoeremophilane was accomplished from cre...

Total Synthesis of Hyacinthacine A2: Stereocontrolled 5-aza-cyclooctene Photoisomerization and Transannular Hydroamination with Planar-to-Point Chirality Transfer.

The total synthesis of hyacinthacine A2 is reported via a novel transannular hydroamination in which planar chirality of a 5-aza-trans-cyclooctene precursor is transferred to point chirality in the product. Key to the success of this strategy was the development of a method for establishing absolute planar chirality via stereocontrolled photoisomerization of a 5-aza-cis-cyclooctene. This was ac...
