A new tetrahydropyranone synthesis has been developed that leads to cis-2,6-disubstituted 3,3-dimethyltetrahydropyran-4-one rings by condensation of an aldehyde and a hydroxy silyl enol ether. The reaction works with a variety of aldehydes to produce the tetrahydropyranone products in moderate to high yields. This new method was applied to the enantioselective synthesis of cyanolide A and its aglycone.

An iterative protocol was developed for highly diastereo- and enantioselective construction of high-order 1,3-polyols via iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-keto esters. The protocol involves four operations-asymmetric hydrogenation, hydroxy protection, ester hydrolysis, and C-acylation-and the catalyst loading can be as low as 0.005 mol %.

Covering: 2005 to 2016Clavosolides A-D and cyanolide A are glycosidic macrolides and represent a new family of marine natural products. They possess a number of unusual structural features and have attracted considerable interest from the synthetic community. This review presents a comprehensive survey of all aspects of the clavosolides A-D and cyanolide A.

Despite the longstanding importance of polyketide natural products in human medicine, nearly all commercial polyketide-based drugs are prepared through fermentation or semi-synthesis. The paucity of manufacturing routes involving de novo chemical synthesis reflects the inability of current methods to concisely address the preparation of these complex structures. Direct alcohol C-H bond functionalization via"C-C bond forming transfer hydrogenation" provides a powerful, new means of constructing type I polyketides that bypasses stoichiometric use of chiral auxiliaries, premetallated C-nucleophiles, and discrete alcohol-to-aldehyde redox reactions.
