A practical stereoselective synthesis to obtain the substituted furan ring as the substructure of eribulin is developed. An asymmetric syn-aldol and intramolecular oxy-Michael were two key steps in our approach. The functionalized furan derivatives were then utilized further to build the 14- and 12-membered macrocyclic diversity as trans- and cis-fused (C-29 and C-30) compounds. This is the first report of building a chemical toolbox with macrocyclic small molecules having trans- or cis-fused 14- or 12-membered rings containing the substructure of eribulin and its diastereomer.

We report here the first example of a copper-catalyzed transformation involving nitro allyl derivatives. This borylation reaction, which exploits the high versatility of the aforementioned precursor, tolerates a variety of functional groups and allows practical, scalable, and highly straightforward access to diversely substituted allylboronic esters in high yields. The method was also extended to allyl sulfones, which provides a very complementary approach, offering additional structural diversity along with improved stereoselectivities.

Glycans, unlike uniformly charged DNA and compositionally diverse peptides, are typically uncharged and exhibit rich stereoisomeric diversity in the glycosidic bonds between two monosaccharide units. This heterogeneity of charge and the structural complexity present significant challenges for accurate analysis. Herein, we developed a novel single-molecule oligosaccharide sensor, OmpF nanopore.

Direct cross-coupling reactions between two similar unactivated partners are challenging but constitute a powerful strategy for the creation of new carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. [4]Dendralenes are a class of acyclic branched conjugated oligoenes with great synthetic potential for the rapid generation of structural complexity, yet the chemistry of [4]dendralenes remains an unexplored field due to their limited accessibility. Herein, we report a highly selective palladium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of two allenes with the presence of a directing olefin in one of the allenes, enabling the facile synthesis of a broad range of functionalized [4]dendralenes in a convergent modular manner.

Allylic ethers and alcohols are essential structural motifs commonly present in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Direct allylic C-H oxygenation of internal alkenes is one of the most direct methods, bypassing the necessity for an allylic leaving group that is needed in the traditional Tsuji-Trost reaction. Herein, we develop an efficient and practical method for synthesizing (E)-allyl ethers from readily available internal alkenes and alcohols or phenols via selective allylic C-H oxidation.

The esterase EstSIT01 from can catalyze the asymmetric hydrolysis of -dimethyl ester to produce the crucial chiral intermediate (4, 5)-hemimethyl ester for -biotin synthesis. Despite its high yields and stereoselectivity, the low thermostability of EstSIT01 limits its practical application. Herein, two kinds of rational strategies were combined to enhance the thermostability of EstSIT01.
