The overall yield for the natural enterolactone, over seven steps, was 19% and for its enantiomer 27%. Key words: enterolactone, 4-diphenylmethyl-2-oxazolidinone, succinate, enantioselective synthesis.

The synthesis of the pharmaceutical (R)-tolterodine is reported using lithiation/borylation–protodeboronation of a homoallyl carbamate as the key step. This step was tested with two permutations: an electron-neutral aryl Li-carbamate reacting with an electron-rich boronic ester and an electron-rich aryl Li-carbamate reacting with an electron-neutral boronic ester. It was found that the latter arrangement was considerably better than the former. Further improvements were achieved using magnesium bromide in methanol leading to a process that gave high yield and high enantioselectivity in the lithiation/borylation reaction. The key step was used in an efficient synthesis of (R)-tolterodine in a total of eight steps in a 30% overall yield and 90% ee.

An efficient synthesis of the nonamannoside residue 1 of high mannose glycoproteins was achieved using an oligomer-supported solution synthesis with low-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol as the anchor. The synthesis required only five coupling steps from only two monosaccharide building blocks with an overall yield of 12%.Key words: nonamannoside, oligosaccharide synthesis, soluble polymer support synthesis, glycoproteins.

We report a novel methodology for preparing enantiomerically pure β-lactams, starting from nitriles in diastereomeric ratios up to 10:1. The power of the methodology was demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor SCH 48462.Key words: β-lactam, N-metalloaldimine, titanium Lewis acids, cholesterol absorption inhibitor.

<p>Natural product total synthesis inspires strategy development in chemical synthesis. In the 1960s, Corey and coworkers demonstrated a visionary preparation of the terpenoid longifolene, using “strategic bond analysis” to craft a synthesis route. This approach proposes that efficient synthesis routes to bridged, polycyclic, structures should be formulated to introduce the bulk of the target’s topological complexity at a late stage. In subsequent decades, similar strategies have proved general for the syntheses of a wide variety of bridged, polycyclic molecules. Here, we demonstrate that an orthogonal strategy, which utilizes a topologically complex bicyclo[2.2.1] starting material accessed through a scaffold rearrangement of (<i>S</i>)-carvone, leads to a remarkably short synthesis of the longifolene-related terpenoid longiborneol. We also employ a variety of late-stage C–H functionalization tactics in divergent syntheses of many longiborneol congeners. Our strategy should prove effective for the preparation of other topologically complex natural products that contain the bicyclo[2.2.1] framework.</p>

Serricornin is a female-produced sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), which is a pest of dried foodstuffs and tobacco. We report a versatile and short synthesis of all possible 6,7-syn-isomers of serricornin, including the natural isomer. Starting from the SAMP and RAMP derivatives of diethyl ketone we obtained four different enantiopure and diastereomerically pure serricornins. The main advantage of this method is that only a single kind of chiral starting material is needed for the construction of three stereogenic centers. During the synthesis further useful intermediates including (R)- and (S)-1-benzyloxy-2-methylpentan-3-one (4) and (2S,3R)- and (2R,3S)-1-iodo-3-(methoxy- methoxy)-2-methylpentane (9) were obtained.

To reveal the scope of the syntheses of 3-aryl-2-quinolinones from 2-nitro-α-phenylcinnamic acids, the isomerization of (E)-2-amino-α-phenylcinnamic acids was studied. The results showed that (E)-2-amino-α-phenylcinnamic acids were isomerized to its (Z)-forms under sunlight in organic solvents. The reaction temperature and the functional groups at both phenyl rings have no effect on the isomerization of (E)-2-amino-α-phenylcinnamic acids and the following intramolecular spontaneous amidation of (Z)-2-amino-α-phenylcinnamic acids. Various 3-aryl-2-quinolinones prepared in high total yields indicated that the syntheses of 3-aryl-2-quinolinones from Perkin condensation products 2-nitro-α-phenylcinnamic acids via reduction, sunlight-induced isomerization of (E)-2-amino-α-phenylcinnamic acids, and the following intramolecular amidation is an efficient procedure. Key words: 3-aryl-2-quinolinones, isomerization, amidation.

In the course of our studies on geochemical biomarkers we required a series of lupane standards. We report here an efficient synthesis of lupane (1) in three steps from betulin (3) in an overall yield of 47.2%. 17β(H)-28-Norlupane (2) was obtained in 90% purity employing Barton's method for the decarboxylation of 3-oxolupan-28-oic acid (10). 24,28-Bisnorlupane (4) and 24-norlupane (5) were obtained by a series of reactions involving formation of the oxime, the seconitrile, the epoxynitrile, ring closure, and finally a Wolff–Kishner reduction of the C3 carbonyl to the methylene. Also, to aid in the quantitative determination of these lupanes from oil shales and geological samples, 3-deuterolupane (6) and 2,3-dideuterolupane (7) were needed, and a method for their preparation is reported. Key words: lupane, 24-norlupane, 28-norlupane, 24,28-bisnorlupane, 3-deuterolupane, 2,3-dideuterolupane.
