(−)-Oxyphyllol was prepared in only 4 steps from an epoxy enone that already served as an intermediate for the total synthesis of the anticancer guaiane (−)-englerin A. A regio- and diastereoselective Co(II)-catalyzed hydration of the olefin and a transannular epoxide opening were used as the key reactions.

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.

Erythrina alkaloids were identified at the end of the 19th century and today, more than 100 members of the erythrinane family have been isolated. They are characterized by a unique tetracyclic, α-tertiary spiroamine scaffold. Herein we detail our efforts towards the development of a divergent enantioselective synthesis of (+)-dihydro-β-erythroidine (DHβE) – one of the most prominent members of this intriguing family of natural products.1 Introduction2 Synthetic Strategy2.1 First Generation2.2 Second Generation2.3 Third Generation2.3.1 Radical Endgame2.3.2 Completion of the Total Synthesis3 Conclusion

The acetylene derivative Ciryneol C was isolated from the roots of C. japonicum. The asymmetric total synthesis of Ciryneol C was achieved in seven steps, with Horner–Wittig olefination, regioselective epoxide opening, and Cadiot–Chodkiewicz coupling reactions being the key steps.
