Stereoselective total synthesis of the title compounds, two new sesquiterpenes isolated from a Mexican plant, are described. The key step in the synthesis is based on classical santon in syntheses by the stereoselective Michael addition of the potassium salt of ethyl α-cyanoacetate to the dienone(4), to give the cis adduct (5), in an 8 : 2 ratio with the trans isomer. Further appropriate transformation of this cis adduct (5) leads to formation of either isocostic acid (1) or 3-oxoisocostic acid (2).

The enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition of a δ-valerolactone-derived pronucleophile to a substituted furanyl nitroolefin catalysed by a bifunctional cinchonine-derived thiourea has been used as the key stereocontrolling step in a new synthetic strategy to the heavily functionalised piperidine core of keramaphidin B.

The total synthesis of the title compound 22 and methyl 14α-hydroxy-5β,13α,8-androstene-1,7,17-trioxo-10β-oate 21 isomer is reported. We also describe the 1,6-Michael addition of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclopentanedione on dienone 14 and the protic ammonium salt catalyzed intramolecular Michael addition of cyclic β-ketoester on the conjugated acetylenic ketone 13. Keywords: cardenolides, steroid synthesis, aldol, Michael addition.

The oxyanion derived from hydroxyacrylate E-(5) undergoes smooth intramolecular Michael addition to give the trans-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (7) as the major product of reaction. In contrast, the oxyanion obtained from isomer Z-(5) cyclizes to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (6) as the major product. Such chemistry has been extended to the enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(6) the acquisition of which constitutes a formal total synthesis of acid (+)-(2), a constituent of the glandular secretion from the civet cat (Viverra civetta). Reductive amination of keto acrylate (12) affords an intermediate amine which cyclizes, in situ, to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (26). Analogous treatment of compound (13) delivers the isomeric trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (27) as the exclusive product of reaction. Transition state structures have been proposed to account for the diastereoselectivities observed in all of the cyclization reactions.

The first total synthesis of kukoamine B bimesylate was completed from 1,4-diaminobutane dihydrochloride in 12 steps with a 11.4% overall yield, and all the steps could be carried out at a kilogram scale. The cyano groups were used as the precursor of amino groups to avoid the competitive reaction delicately. The aza-Michael addition reaction, amidation and hydrogenation of the cyano group sequence was streamlined as a general approach towards the synthesis of polyamine structures.
