A straightforward approach to a novel phytosphingosine-like ceramide has been accomplished. The cornerstone features of this divergent synthesis are a cascade Overman rearrangement of tris(imidate) to introduce three desired stereogenic centres via sequential chirality transfer and an effective olefin cross-metathesis to install a long side chain. The final unusual phytoceramides were evaluated for their capacity to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cell lines. The preliminary results revealed that compound 21 exhibits promising anticancer activity against HeLa and HCT-116 cells as well as the excellent selectivity in cytotoxicity (malignant vs non-malignant cell lines).

A concise synthesis of ()-hydroxynorketamine was accomplished in eight steps, starting from commercially available materials. This synthesis features a cerium chloride-enhanced Stork-Danheiser reaction, an asymmetric reduction of ketone by the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reaction, a signature Overman rearrangement, and a facial selective dihydroxylation of an electronically deficient olefin by RuCl/NaIO. The overall yield is 7.

The stereoselective synthesis of -diaminopimelic acid (-DAP), the key cross-linking amino acid of the peptidoglycan cell wall layer in Gram-negative bacteria, and its biological precursor, l,l-DAP, is described. The key step involved stereoselective reduction of a common enone-derived amino acid by substrate- or reagent-based control. Overman rearrangement of the resulting allylic alcohols, concurrent alkene hydrogenation and trichloroacetamide reduction, and subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed arene oxidation completed the synthesis of each stereoisomer.

Straightforward access to enantiomerically pure 3,4-diamino-3,4-dideoxyphytosphingosines, as novel analogues of natural d-ribo-phytosphingosine was accomplished, starting from two available chirons: dimethyl l-tartrate and d-isoascorbic acid. A sequential Overman rearrangement followed by late-stage introduction of the alkyl side chain moiety via olefin cross-metathesis is the cornerstone of this approach. The preliminary evaluation study of the synthesised sphingomimetics, based on their ability to inhibit a proliferation of human cancer cells, showed promising cytotoxicity against Jurkat and HeLa cells for (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-triaminooctadecan-1-ol trihydrochloride.

A library of regioisomeric monoterpene-based aminodiols was synthesised and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The synthesis of the first type of aminodiols was achieved starting from (-)-8,9-dihydroperillaldehyde via reductive amination, followed by Boc protection and dihydroxylation with the OsO/NMO system. Separation of formed stereoisomers resulted in a library of aminodiol diastereoisomers.
