摘要:
A synthesis of the tetracyclic decalin part of azadirachtin in the naturally occurring form is described. The key reactions involve the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) asymmetric reduction of the ketone, and an intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction.
摘要:
The 8-epiaphidicolane skeleton (3) was formed in one key reaction by highly diastereoselective tandem transannular Diels-Alder (TADA)-aldol reactions from the trans-trans-cis trienic macrocycle (4). The unnatural derivative (11R)-(-)-8-epi-11-hydroxyaphidicolin (2) was thus constructed, and an original solution to the C16 functionalization problem of many aphidicolin (1) syntheses is presented.

Examines the asymmetric synthesis of orthogonally protected amino acid L-threo-beta-hydroxyasparagine. Use of Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) reaction in the synthesis; Efficacy of cinnamate esters as substrates for the Sharpless AA reaction; Production of amino alcohol 4 by AA reaction on methyl 4-methoxycinnamate (3).
摘要:
[GRAPHICS] A concise, stereospecific synthesis of radicicol dimethyl ether is presented. The strategy relies on a convergent three-stage assembly of the 14-membered lactone which has, as a key transformation, a novel ring-forming metathesis reaction utilizing a vinyl epoxide.
摘要:
An efficient and flexible asymmetric synthesis of planar chiral ferrocenyl ligands bearing a stereogenic centre at the beta -position to the metallocene backbone is described. A variety of donor groups can be independently introduced as electrophiles, thus allowing electronic and steric fine-tuning of the ligands, which were investigated in Pd-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitutions. By employing a P,S ligand, the alkylation of the standard test system (+/-)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate using dimethyl malonate/BSA as the nucleoph- ile proceeded in a quantitative yield with an ee of 97%, which is the best value reported so far in this reaction for a P boolean ORS ligand.
摘要:
The beneficial influence of cis-isopropylidene acetal tether control groups, to facilitate the asymmetric synthesis of substituted decalins by intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions, is described. Compared to trans-acetonides, these cases proceed under milder conditions to afford the cis-fused adducts from an endo transition state. An unusual acetonitrile solvent effect exerts a dramatic influence on the diastereoselectivity. This strategy leads to the chiral nonracemic bicyclo[4.4.0]decane core of diverse natural products.
摘要:
Experimental results are reported for the CuCl2-mediated asymmetric oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols in the presence of [-]α-methylbenzylamine to optically active (S)-(-)-1,1-bi-2-naphthol. Under anhydrous conditions and with a 3∶1 molarity ratio of α-methylbenzylamine to 2-naphthol, a fair enantioselection has been observed(up to 80.6% ee).
摘要:
This article reviews our contribution in the field of radical synthetic chemistry, focusing on cascades relying on the use of propargylic BMDMS ethers and asymmetric synthesis using enantiopure vinylsulfoxides.
