The concise and efficient total synthesis of (±)-tetraponerine-2 () and (±)-tetraponerine-4 () was achieved in 9% and 14% overall yield, respectively. The key step included the diastereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative amination of an allylic alcohol-tethered sulfamide to produce the 1,3-diamine moiety. The resulting olefinic side chain was then elaborated by cross-metathesis and cyclized to a five-membered pyrrolidine or a six-membered piperidine ring by intramolecular Mitsunobu -alkylation.

ConspectusSynergy between the teaching and research activities of a University should be a source of new ideas, each informing the other. A classroom discussion gave rise to our concept of using hydroxylamines as a form of "tethered nitrogen" for alkaloid synthesis. The "tether" temporarily connects a nucleophilic nitrogen atom to the substrate, rendering an intermolecular reaction intramolecular, thus providing stereo- and regiochemical control for C-N bond formation.

We synthesized stereoselectively four stereoisomers of oxylipins (1a-d) by a convergent approach based on chiral catalysis. The synthetic approach involved sequential assembly of two key fragments - ene-diol and allyl alcohol - for an intended convergent cross-metathesis reaction to join these fragments. The key steps include Sharpless kinetic resolution, asymmetric dihydroxylation and Grubbs cross-metathesis.

Broussonetine S (9), its C-1' and C-10' stereoisomers, and their corresponding enantiomers have been synthesized from enantiomeric arabinose-derived cyclic nitrones, with cross metathesis (CM), epoxidation and Keck asymmetric allylation as key steps. Glycosidase inhibition assays showed that broussonetine S (9) and its C-10' epimer (10'-epi-9) were nanomolar inhibitors of bovine liver β-galactosidase and β-glucosidase; while their C-1' stereoisomers were 10-fold less potent towards these enzymes. The glycosidase inhibition results and molecular docking calculations revealed the importance of the configurations of pyrrolidine core and C-1' hydroxyl for inhibition potency and spectra.

We describe here the highly stereoselective total synthesis of the C acetogenins (3)- and (3)-elatenynes having a 7,12-dibromo-6,9--10,13- adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuran (THF) core. The present synthesis features a highly stereoselective, protecting group-dependent, chelate-controlled intramolecular amide enolate alkylation (IAEA) for the synthesis of key intermediate 7-hydroxy-6,7--6,9--THF intermediate 10, deployment of the sequential ate complex (-BuLi/DIBAL-H) reduction/Keck allylation/cross metathesis (CM) protocol for the stereoselective introduction of the C(10)-C(15) unit, a sequential Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD)/intramolecular Williamson etherification for the construction of the 10,13--THF ring, and a modified Nakata chloromethanesulfonate-mediated S2 displacement for the 7,12-dibromo functionality. Furthermore, our strategy based on chelate-controlled IAEA methodology would provide access to any member of the C adjacent bis-THF acetogenin class.
