Herein, we describe the convergent enantioselective total synthesis of himalensine A in 18 steps, enabled by a highly enantio- and diastereoselective construction morphan core via palladium/hydroxy proline co-catalyzed desymmetrization vinyl-bromide-tethered cyclohexanones. The reaction pathway was illuminated density functional theory calculations, which support an intramolecular Heck situ-generated enamine intermediate, where exquisite enantioselectivity arises from carboxylate...

We report the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Tafluprost (1), a prostaglandin analogue. This demonstrates new approach to prostaglandins involving symmetrization and desymmetrization racemic precursor control absolute relative stereochemistry cyclopentyl core. Key steps include diastereo- enantioselective Rh-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction bicyclic allyl chloride an alkenyl boronic acid regio- diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed Tsuji–Trost with enolate surrogate.

Antibiotics derived from the diterpene fungal metabolite (+)-pleuromutilin (1) are useful agents for treatment Gram-positive infections in humans and farm animals. Pleuromutilins elicit slow rates of resistance development minimal cross-resistance with existing antibiotics. Despite efforts aimed at producing new derivatives by semisynthesis, modification tricyclic core is underexplored, part due to a limited number functional group handles. Herein, we report methods selectively functionalize...

Abstract A 24‐step synthesis of (±)‐forskolin is presented, which delivered hundred milligram quantities this complex diterpene in one pass. Transformations key to our approach include: a) a strategic allylic transposition, b) stepwise assembly sterically encumbered isoxazole ring, and c) citric acid‐modified Upjohn dihydroxylation resilient tetrasubstituted olefin. The developed route has exciting potential for the preparation new forskolin analogues inaccessible by semisynthesis.

We report a new synthetic strategy for the flexible preparation of forskolin-like molecules. The approach is different from previously published works and employs convergent assembly tricyclic labdane-type core pre-functionalized cyclic building blocks. Stereoselective Michael addition enabled fragment coupling with excellent control over three newly created contiguous stereocenters, all-carbon quaternary centers included. Silyl enol ether-promoted ring-opening metathesis paired ring closure...
