The first asymmetric total synthesis of gymnothelignan L has been accomplished in 14 steps with 11.2% overall yield. The synthetic approach features an anti Evans aldol reaction, a diastereoselective methylation, a Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and a bioinspired desymmetric transannular Friedel–Crafts reaction.

In this paper, we report the first total synthesis of (+)-coprophilin, an anticoccidial agent, by constructing the chiral linear precursor via a Mukaiyama–Evans aldol reaction and a stereoselective intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction. The proposed method can be used to provide large amounts of (+)-coprophilin, which exhibits a 3,4,5,6,7-pentasubstituted Δ1,2-octalin core structure.

A concise stereoselective approach to functionalized δ-lactone skeleton from monosilylated ethylene glycol as a starting material and its application to the asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-trans-aerangis lactone have been demonstrated. The synthesis utilizes the organocatalyzed MacMillan’s cross aldol reaction as a key step.

The asymmetric total synthesis of the optically pure catunaregin was accomplished in 7 steps from a known methyl ester using an asymmetric syn-selective aldol reaction and the successive ketalization of a furan diol derivative under acidic conditions.

The first organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of smyrindiol, by using an (S)-proline catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aldol reaction as the key step, is described. Smyrindiol was synthesized from commercially available 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in 15 steps, with excellent stereoselectivity (de = 99%, ee = 99%). In the course of this total synthesis a new and mild coumarin assembly was developed.

Benefiting from a highly diastereoselective alkylation of (S)-Taniguchi lactone, a double Friedel–Crafts reaction, a global debenzylation and a Cu(OAc)2-enabled benzylic oxidative cyclization, an efficient synthetic approach to (+)-ovafolinins A and B has been developed.

Asymmetric cyclopropane synthesis currently requires bespoke strategies, methods, substrates and reagents, even when targeting similar compounds. This limits the speed and chemical space available for discovery campaigns. Here we introduce a practical and versatile diazocompound, and we demonstrate its performance in the first unified asymmetric synthesis of functionalized cyclopropanes. We found that the redox-active leaving group in this reagent enhances the reactivity and selectivity of geminal carbene transfer. This effect enabled the asymmetric cyclopropanation of a wide range of olefins including unactivated aliphatic alkenes, enabling the 3-step total synthesis of (–)-dictyopterene A. This unified synthetic approach delivers high enantioselectivities that are independent of the stereoelectronic properties of the functional groups transferred. Our results demonstrate that orthogonally-differentiated diazocompounds are viable and advantageous equivalents of single-carbon chirons<i>.</i>
