The synthesis of a C1–C14 fragment of the macrolide antibiotic gulmirecin B through formation of the C7–C8 bond by addition of a vinyllithium intermediate to a C1–C7 aldehyde was investigated. This crucial coupling was successful with a vinyllithium reagent corresponding to a C8–C12 fragment. The C8–C12 vinyl bromide was prepared from l-malic acid. The C1–C7 aldehyde building block was synthesized from hex-5-enoic acid by using an Evans alkylation, a cross-metathesis, and an asymmetric dihydroxylation as key steps.

Starting from the conveniently available ex-chiral pool building block (R,R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, the ten-membered ring lactones stagonolide E and curvulide A were synthesized using a bidirectional olefin-metathesis functionalization of the terminal double bonds. Key steps are (i) a site-selective cross metathesis, (ii) a highly diastereoselective extended tethered RCM to furnish a (Z,E)-configured dienyl carboxylic acid and (iii) a Ru–lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution to establish the desired configuration at C9. Ring closure was accomplished by macrolactonization. Curvulide A was synthesized from stagonolide E through Sharpless epoxidation.

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.

A new synthesis of the important amino acid 2-aminosuberic acid from aspartic acid is reported. The methodology involves the alternate preparation of (S)-2-aminohept-6-enoate ester as a building block and its diversification through a cross-metathesis reaction to prepare the title compounds. The utility of the protocol is demonstrated through the preparation of three suberic acid derivatives of relevance to the design and the synthesis of peptides of biological relevance.

The synthesis of (E)-2-((3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)amino)-4-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid was performed. This organic compound was used as a building block for the organic molecular crystals with highly stable photoluminescence at ambient conditions, which has been established during 10 years of exploitation.

A highly convergent and concise total syntheses of (3 R,5 R)-Sonnerlactone and (3 R,5 S) Sonnerlactone from a readily available L-malic acid is described. The following series of reactions such as Barbier allylation, photochemical esterification and Ring Closing Metathesis (RCM) are utilized as key steps to accomplish their syntheses.

A stereoselective total synthesis of an antiproliferative and antifungal natural product, (6 S)-5,6-dihydro-6-[(2 R)-2-hydroxy-6-phenylhexyl]-2 H-pyran-2-one has been accomplished using the Barbier allylation, LiAlH4/LiI mediated syn-stereoselective reduction and olefin ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as the key steps. L-Malic acid was used as a chiral precursor for the construction of syn-1,3-diol moiety of the molecule.

We completed a new and efficient synthesis of D-chalcose (I) and the first synthesis of its C-3 epimer (I′) in nine steps with overall yields of 23% and 24%, respectively. The key steps in the sequence were the formation of the stereocenter on C3 via Grignard reaction, the introduction of the stereogenic center on C2 by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, the protection of the C1 and C2 hydroxy groups with tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TBSOTf), and the selective cleavage of the primary OTBS ether using catalytic DL-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) in MeOH.
