Synthesis of program fragments from specifications can make programs easier to write and easier to reason about. To integrate synthesis into programming languages, synthesis algorithms should behave in a predictable way---they should succeed for a well-def ...
We report the total synthesis of a series of pyrrolizidine analogues of casuarine (1) and their 6-O-alpha-glucoside derivatives. The synthetic strategy is based on a totally regio- and stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of suitably substituted alken ...
We report the enantioselective synthesis of pseudolaric acid B (1a), a diterpene acid isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon, which displays interesting antifungal, antifertility, and cytotoxic activity against multidrug resistant cell line ...
1-Alkoxy-2-methyl-3-acyloxy-(E,E)-penta-1,3-dienes have been prepared applying among others a modified Danishefsky's general method, including chiral, racemic, and achiral derivatives. ...
The first biomimetic total synthesis of the iron chelator anachelin H isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica is reported. A first generation approach delivered one enantiomeric series of the polyketide fragment. Comparison of the 1H NMR data ...
Due to the spongistatins' fascinating and complex molecular architectures, and their important biological activities, these marine macrolides have been the subject of intensive efforts directed towards their total synthesis. As an attractive alternative to ...
The limited availability of bioactive natural products for pharmaceutical studies and drug development is a problem that can be solved, in principle, by total synthesis. The potent antitumor marine natural products ecteinascidin 597 (I; R = Me) and ecteina ...
Abstract: Activated cyclopropanes, such as vinyl and carbonyl cyclopropanes, are useful building blocks in organic chemistry due to their exceptional reactivity. This review focuses on the use of cyclopropyl carbonyls and imines in cyclization and cycloadd ...
A convergent total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 is realized from five building blocks of almost equal size. It takes 23 steps from L-3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-Me phenylalanol (I) with an overall yield of 3%. The most notable features include (a) rapid constr ...
The development of efficient routes to multi gram quantities of chiral synthons is a key issue in total synthesis of natural products and analogues. The conformationally defined and rigid 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one template appears as an appealing s ...
