The total synthesis of cyclic hexapeptide dichotomin A from linear peptide precursors containing penicillamine-derived pseudoproline residues is reported. The incorporation of a pseudoproline residue led to a faster reaction and higher head-to-tail cyclization yields in comparison to linear precursors containing the native valine residue. However, deprotection of the pseudoproline resulted in significant amounts of a by-product in which a threonine side chain had undergone dehydration, resulting in a low overall yield of the natural product.

A convergent synthesis of the unique thiazole-containing polyene bis-lactone pateamine A (1) isolated from the marine sponge Mycale sp is described. The synthesis features the ubiquitous Stille sp2–sp2 coupling reaction to elaborate the E,Z-diene macrolide core 23 and the all-E polyenamine side chain in the natural product. It also highlights the scope for enantiopure sulfinimine intermediates in the synthesis of chiral β-amino ester moieties in complex structures.Key words: pateamine A, immunosuppressive agent from marine sponge Mycale sp, total synthesis, novel 19-membered bis-lactone, thiazole metabolite, polyenamine, Stille reaction, sulfinimines, chiral β-amino esters.

A short and convenient total synthesis of 6,8-dimethoxy-1,3-dimethylisoquinoline, employing a C–H activation/alkenylation strategy, is reported. The approach involves the CeCl3·7H2O-promoted methoximation of 2,4-dimethoxyacetophenone and a methoxime-directed ruthenium-catalyzed allylation. This was followed by a one-pot, ruthenium-catalyzed allyl to propenyl isomerization and a microwave-assisted 6π-azaelectrocylization to complete the sequence. This approach, which entails a shortcut in the synthetic management of the three-carbon side chain, is an improved and more efficient route toward the natural product, which facilitated its access in just three steps and 27.3% overall yield.

With incredible bioactivities and fascinating structural complexities, tetramic acid- (TA-) containing natural products have attracted favorable attention among the organic chemistry community. Although the construction of the TA core is usually straightforward, the intricate C3-side chain sometimes asks for some deliberative strategy so as to fulfill an elegant total synthesis. This review mainly covers some exceptional synthetic examples for each type of natural product in recent years, showcasing the great achievements as well as unsettled obstacles in this area, in the hope of accelerating the synthetic and biological investigations for this unique type of natural product.

<div>An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of (9R,14R,17R)-FE399, a novel antitumor bicyclic depsipeptide, was developed. A 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA)-mediated dehydration condensation reaction was effectively employed for the formation of the 16-membered macrocyclic depsipeptide moiety of FE399. FE399 was found to exist as an inseparable equilibrium mixture of conformational isomers; the mixture was quantitatively transformed into the corresponding S-benzyl product and isolated as a single isomer. Thus, we could confirm that the molecular structure of FE399 obtained by this method is identical to that of the natural product.</div>

We report an efficient ten-step synthesis of antiviral natural product cavinafungin B in 37% overall yield. By leveraging a one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of (2S,4R)-4-methylproline and oxazolidine-tethered (Rink-Boc-ATG-resin) SPPS methodology, the assembly of our molecular target could be conducted in an efficient manner.This general strategy could prove amenable to the construction of other natural and unnatural linear lipopeptides. The value of incorporating biocatalytic steps in complex molecule synthesis is highlighted by this work.

<div> <p>The total synthesis of principinol D, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid, is reported. This grayanane natural product is constructed via a convergent fragment coupling approach, wherein the central 7-membered ring is synthesized at a late stage. The bicyclo[3.2.1]octane fragment is accessed by a Ni-catalyzed α-vinylation reaction. Strategic reductions include a diastereoselective SmI<sub>2</sub>-mediated ketone reduction with PhSH and a new protocol for selective ester reduction in the presence of ketones. The convergent strategy reported herein may be an entry point to the larger class of kaurane diterpenoids.</p> </div>
