<div><div><div><div><p>A very concise total synthesis of (+)-brefeldin C starting from 2-furanylcyclopentene is described. This approach is based on an unprecedented enantioselective radical hydroalkynylation process to introduce the two cyclopentane stereocenters in a single step. The use of a furan substituent allows to achieve a high trans diastereoselectivity during the radical process and it contains the four carbon atoms C1–C4 of the natural product in an oxidation state closely related to the one of the target molecule. The eight-step synthesis require six product purifications and it provides (+)-brefeldin C in 18% overall yield.</p></div></div></div></div>

A reinvestigation of the known marine natural product strobilinin has revealed it not to be a single compound (2), but to consist of two naturally occurring geometric isomers, neither of which corresponds to the structure originally assigned. These isomers, (8E,13Z,20Z)- strobilinin (10) and (8Z,13E,20Z)-strobilinin (11), were resolved, characterized and identified as their respective acetate derivatives (6) and (7), and their structures assigned by spectroscopic analysis. It would appear that the absolute stereochemistry of the strobilinins is very likely opposite to that of co-occurring variabilin (1).

Photo-oxygenation of racemic phytol has yielded two secondary allylic hydroperoxides and an endoperoxide hemi-acetal, which are the expected products from the “ene-type” reaction of singlet oxygen with the tri-substituted double bond in phytol. Spectral properties for one of the diastereoisomers of phytene-1-ol-2-hydroperoxide obtained from synthesis are shown to be identical with those of a natural product previously reported from Artemisia annua, which, it is concluded, was wrongly assigned as phytene-1,2-diol.

<p>Natural product total synthesis inspires strategy development in chemical synthesis. In the 1960s, Corey and coworkers demonstrated a visionary preparation of the terpenoid longifolene, using “strategic bond analysis” to craft a synthesis route. This approach proposes that efficient synthesis routes to bridged, polycyclic, structures should be formulated to introduce the bulk of the target’s topological complexity at a late stage. In subsequent decades, similar strategies have proved general for the syntheses of a wide variety of bridged, polycyclic molecules. Here, we demonstrate that an orthogonal strategy, which utilizes a topologically complex bicyclo[2.2.1] starting material accessed through a scaffold rearrangement of (<i>S</i>)-carvone, leads to a remarkably short synthesis of the longifolene-related terpenoid longiborneol. We also employ a variety of late-stage C–H functionalization tactics in divergent syntheses of many longiborneol congeners. Our strategy should prove effective for the preparation of other topologically complex natural products that contain the bicyclo[2.2.1] framework.</p>

We present a unified step-economical strategy to access histone deacetylase inhibitory peptides, based on late-stage installation of zinc-binding functionalities via the cleavage of the strained cyclopropane ring in the common pluripotent cyclopropanol precursor. The efficacy of the proposed diversity-oriented approch has been validated by short stereoselective synthesis of a natural product chlamydocin and a number of its analogs.<br>
