<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>

Asymmetric total synthesis of compound 1, as a proposed molecular structure of a natural product, in 11 steps is described. The inconsistency of the characterization data prompted us to propose a different structure as compound 2 and accordingly accomplish total synthesis in 9 steps and confirm the structural revision of this natural product.

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>

<div><div><div><div><p>A very concise total synthesis of (+)-brefeldin C starting from 2-furanylcyclopentene is described. This approach is based on an unprecedented enantioselective radical hydroalkynylation process to introduce the two cyclopentane stereocenters in a single step. The use of a furan substituent allows to achieve a high trans diastereoselectivity during the radical process and it contains the four carbon atoms C1–C4 of the natural product in an oxidation state closely related to the one of the target molecule. The eight-step synthesis require six product purifications and it provides (+)-brefeldin C in 18% overall yield.</p></div></div></div></div>

The infrared and Raman spectra of trans-Δ3-penten-2-one have been measured over the temperature range +30° to −75° and +85° to +5° respectively. The temperature-dependent changes observed in the spectra indicate that this ketone exists as an equilibrium mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformational isomers in the liquid state. The s-trans form is the more stable and is present exclusively in the crystalline solid.Similar measurements have been carried out on Δ3-buten-2-one. The infrared and Raman spectra of this ketone also exhibit temperature effects that can be explained by a similar equilibrium, though the evidence is not as conclusive as for trans-Δ3-penten-2-one.The influence of alkyl substitution at the α- and β-carbon atoms on the relative stability of the s-cis and s-trans forms of α,β-unsaturated ketones is discussed.
