We report an efficient Mukaiyama-aldol reaction of tryptanthrin with fluorinated enol silyl ethers, which is carried out in methanol without the use of any catalyst. This method is applied to the total synthesis of the difluoro analogues of the natural product Phaitanthrin B.

In the fields of polymer and material chemistries, strong acid units have mainly included sulfonic acids, which has limited the extension of related material chemistries. Here, a unique carbon acid functionality, namely the bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]methyl group, was integrated with polymers a simple postpolymerization modification with the outstandingly electrophilic 1,1-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethylene. The proposed synthesis protocol was verified as an efficient process even for solid-state reactions.

In this paper are presented the results of the preliminary studies conducted on two model substrates that allowed the testing of various strategies and set the proper conditions that thereafter culminated in the synthesis of the C1-C23 chain of enacyloxin-IIa and its congeners. Innovative strategic options were explored on each model allowing the stereochemical control of the following two elements: (a) the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 chlorinated undecapentaenoic chain, thanks to -selective Kaneda's alkyne allylchlorination and an -selective Pd/Cu allene-alkyne coupling and (b) the unusual - -OH/-Cl/-OCONH 17-19 triad, thanks to a highly diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction.

The design of novel 4'-thionucleoside analogues bearing a C2' stereogenic all-carbon quaternary center is described. The synthesis involves a highly diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction, and a diastereoselective radical-based vinyl group transfer to generate the all-carbon stereogenic C2' center, along with different approaches to control the selectivity of the -glycosidic bond. Intramolecular S2-like cyclization of a mixture of acyclic thioaminals provided analogues with a pyrimidine nucleobase.

PC-A (), a bromo nor-eremophilane, showed selective antiproliferative activity against a triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line. This unique activity prompted us to establish a total synthesis to facilitate a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and selectivity optimization. An enantioselective first total synthesis of was achieved starting from ()-carvone through a side chain extension with a Mukaiyama aldol reaction and decalin construction.
