Musk analogues containing different macrocyclic ring systems as well as different annulated ring systems were synthesised by a simple and useful strategy. This strategy includes Eschenmoser-Tanabe fragmentation, enyne metathesis and Diels-Alder reaction as key steps. Starting from easily available () macrocyclic ketones, ( + 3) macrocyclic systems were assembled using the basic organic reactions.

Chemically-activatable alkyne-tagged probe for imaging microdomains in lipid bilayer membranes.

Sci Rep

January 2017

Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo, 4-6-1 Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

A chemically-activatable alkynyl steroid analogue probe has been synthesized for visualizing the lipid raft membrane domains by Raman microscopy. The Raman probe, in which ring A of its steroid backbone is replaced with an alkynyl group, was designed to enable activation of the alkyne signal through the Eschenmoser-Tanabe fragmentation reaction of the oxidized cholesterol precursor in lipid bilayer membranes. The alkynyl steroid analogue was observed to form liquid-ordered raft-like domains on a model giant-liposome system in a similar manner as cholesterol, and the large alkyne signal of the accumulated probe at 2120 cm was mapped on the microdomains with a Raman microscope.

C-C fragmentation: origins and recent applications.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2013

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 610 Taylor Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854 (USA).

It has been 60 years since Eschenmoser and Frey disclosed the archetypal CC fragmentation reaction. New fragmentations and several variants of the original quickly followed. Many of these variations, which include the Beckmann, Grob, Wharton, Marshall, and Eschenmoser-Tanabe fragmentations, have been reviewed over the intervening years.

Synthesis of natural products with polycyclic systems.

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo)

December 2013

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.

Herein we present our unique strategies to synthesize natural products. To prepare mersicarpine, an atypical indole alkaloid, our procedure features an Eschenmoser-Tanabe fragmentation to synthesize an alkyne unit, a combination of a Sonogashira coupling and a gold(III) catalyzed cyclization to construct the indole skeleton, and a one-pot process to arrange the cyclic imine and the hemiaminal moieties. Additionally, we synthesized a frog poison, histrionicotoxin, via a chirality transfer from an allenylsilane to prepare a pseudosymmetrical dienyne, dienyne metathesis to produce an optically active bicyclo [5.

Critical perspective: named reactions discovered and developed by women.

Acc Chem Res

May 2011

Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts 01063, United States.

Named organic reactions. As chemists, we're all familiar with them: who can forget the Diels-Alder reaction? But how much do we know about the people behind the names? For example, can you identify a reaction named for a woman? How about a reaction discovered or developed by a woman but named for her male adviser? Our attempts to answer these simple questions started us on the journey that led to this Account. We introduce you to four reactions named for women and nine reactions discovered or developed by women.
