Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

Batzellasides A-C are C-alkylated piperidine iminosugars isolated from a sponge Batzella sp. The first total synthesis of (+)-batzellaside B was achieved by employing a chiral pool approach starting from L-arabinose for the construction of a piperidine ring system. Subsequently a practical second-generation synthesis was developed by utilizing a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation for the preparation of the common piperidine intermediate elaborated in the first-generation synthesis. The overall yield of batzellaside B was improved to 3.3% by introducing the exocyclic C8 stereocenter via facial selective hydride addition to a linear ketone. These syntheses allowed for the determination of the absolute stereochemistry of this natural product as well as for providing precious samples which would pave the way for further biological studies.

A unified approach to the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids having a cis-3a-aryloctahydroindole scaffold is developed via a key Eschenmoser–Claisen rearrangement of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters present in these alkaloids. Utilizing this strategy, a concise total synthesis of (±)-mesembrane and (±)-crinane is achieved.

AbstractA concise and convergent stereoselective synthesis of curvulone B is described. The synthesis utilized a tandem isomerization followed by C–O and C–C bond-forming reactions following Mukaiyama-type aldol conditions for the construction of the trans-2,6-disubstituted dihydropyran ring system as the key steps. Other important features of this synthesis are a cross-metathesis, epimerization, and Friedel–Crafts acylation.

The biological activities of shancigusin C (1) and bletistrin G (2), natural products isolated from orchids, are reported along with their first total syntheses. The total synthesis of shancigusin C (1) was conducted by employing the Perkin reaction to forge the central stilbene core, whereas the synthesis of bletistrin G (2) was achieved by the Wittig olefination followed by several regioselective aromatic substitution reactions. Both syntheses were completed by applying only renewable starting materials according to the principles of xylochemistry. The cytotoxic properties of shancigusin C (1) and bletistrin G (2) against tumor cells suggest suitability as a starting point for further structural variation.
