A convergent and efficient approach towards the total synthesis of Kadcotrione B is described. For this purpose, the syntheses of two fragments, 6/6/5-fused tricyclic ring and C-9 side chain, were accomplished. The salient features of these syntheses are the utilization of aldol condensation, Evans aldol reaction, Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination, Michael addition, Robinson annulation, and Wacker oxidation.

Zr-mediated equilibrating cyclocarbonylation of a designed triene led with high diastereocontrol to the ABC 6-6-5 tricyclic core of ritterazine N. The 5-5 EF spiroketal side chain of ritterazine N was prepared by equilibrating cyclization of an acyclic keto diol. The two components were coupled, and the D ring was assembled by intramolecular aldol condensation.

A concise and efficient approach to the core of the C18/C19 diterpenoid alkaloids and phomopsterone B is reported. Both syntheses share the same iron-catalyzed intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition to assemble the tricyclo[6.3.1.01,6]]dodecane skeleton. The following ­approach to the 6/5/6/7 tetracyclic core scaffold of C18/C19 diterpenoid alkaloids features a regioselective Grignard addition/thermal Claisen rearrangement/RCM cyclization. Meanwhile the synthetic steps to access the spiro 6/5/6 tricyclic subunits of phomopsterone B were characterized as intramolecular aldol reaction, Wacker oxidation, and Criegee ­reaction.

A chiral tricyclic terpene possessing a 6,6,6-tricyclic framework and a 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxooctylidenyl side chain undergoes a double ring-closing reaction to give two chiral pentacyclic terpenes in a ratio of 4:3 via an intramolecular Michael addition followed by aldol condensation under basic conditions. Three new stereogenic centers are introduced in the initial Michael annulation reaction. Stereoselective installation of an ethoxycarbonyl group at C17 of the two pentacyclic terpenes separately gives the corresponding highly functionalized pentacyclic terpenoids with seven stereogenic centers. The structures and stereochemistry of key intermediates and products are established through X-ray crystallographic analysis. A mechanism is proposed for explaining the stereochemistry in the Michael annulation reaction.

BF3·OEt2-catalyzed aldol reaction of steroid sapogenins with glyoxylic acid or pyruvic acid led to compounds in which the novel spirocyclic side chain bears an α,β-unsaturated lactone. The structures of the new spirolactones were established with the aid of combined 1D and 2D NMR techniques. A plausible mechanism is described.

A total synthesis of PF1163B has been achieved. The vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of ketene silyl N,O-acetal 6 (ent-6) mediated by excess TiCl4 proceeded with saturated aldehydes to give adduct 10 in moderate yield with moderate stereoselectivity. The major isomer is the diastereomer that was provided by using one equivalent of TiCl4. The Birch reduction of α,β-unsaturated imide 4, possessing a less hindered side chain, gave 12 in good stereoselectivity by employing 2-isopropylbenzimidazole as a bulky proton source. After elongation of the carbon chain and connection with the amino acid part, we accomplished a total synthesis of PF1163B. These methods constitute a concise synthetic route to obtain polyketides as well as depsipeptides.

Formal total synthesis of ent-codeinone and ent-codeine was accomplished via the total synthesis of ent-neopinone attained in 14 steps from β-bromoethylbenzene. The key steps included (i) enzymatic dihydroxylation of β-bromoethylbenzene with E. coli JM109 (pDTG601a), an organism that overexpresses toluene dioxygenase, (ii) a Heck reaction to establish C-13 stereogenic center, (iii) aldol condensation, and (iv) 1,6-conjugate addition of the ethylamino side chain to C-9. Several other modes of construction of the C-9 and C-14 centers were also investigated: Mannich cyclization, and aza-Prins reaction. The synthesis of ent-codeinone was formalized by intersecting Fukuyama’s recently published approach. Experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.

A highly stereocontrolled synthesis of (2S,3R,5R,6S)-6-[(1E,3R)-1,3-dimethylhex-1-enyl]-2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one has been achieved in 13 steps and an overall yield of 7.6% from (R)-(+)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one. This substrate-controlled asymmetric synthesis utilized Paterson’s lactate-derived chiral ketone (2S)-2-(benzoyloxy) pentan-3-one to generate the 5R and 6S stereocentres and alkylation of an Evans’ auxiliary to generate the remote side-chain 3R stereocentre. Furthermore, a novel, highly efficient, and selective strategy was used to generate an enol trimethylsilyl ether whose subsequent Mukaiyama aldol condensation gave the acyclic precursor to the final product. A thermodynamically controlled cyclization then gave (2S,3R,5R,6S)-6-[(1E,3R)-1,3-dimethylhex-1-enyl]-2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one with control of the 2S and 3R stereocentres. The NMR spectroscopic data and optical rotation obtained for synthetic (2S,3R,5R,6S)-6-[(1E,3R)-1,3-dimethylhex-1-enyl]-2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one were consistent with those reported for the hemiacetal isolated from Siphonaria australis, and thus, prove the absolute and relative configuration of the natural product.

Abstract Chalcones derivatized with 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 4-azido-2-quinolones with 1-phenyl-3-(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, or by aldol reaction of 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes with acetophenone. Whereas, chalcones bearing two 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1,3-bis(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one with 4-azido-2-quinolones, or by aldol condensation between 4-{4-[(4-acetylphenoxy)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}quinolin-2(1H)-ones and 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes.
