Synthesis of Erythronolide A
Chemexpress Erythronolide A (4), with its array of ten stereogenic centers, is the parent of several classic antibiotics, including erythromycin. The key step in the total synthesis of 4 recently reported…
The Ready Synthesis of (-)-Nigellamine A2
The nigellamine alkaloids, represented by (-)-nigellamine (3), dolabellane diterpenes isolated from black cumin, apparently have lipid metabolism promoting activity. Joseph M. Ready of UT Southwestern Medical Center has described (J.…
The Overman Route to Gelsemine
Gelsemine 3 has no particular biological activity that recommends it, but its challenging architecture has been a motivation to a generation of organic synthesis chemists. Larry E. Overman of the…
Synthesis of (-)-Littoralisone
The loss of mental function associated with aging is thought to be due at least in part to the degradation of neurite connections between neurons. Natural products such as (-)-littoralisone…
Synthesis and Absolute Stereochemical Assignment of (-)-Galbulimima Alkaloid 13
The galbulimima alkaloids have intriguing physiological activity, but the absolute configuration of glabulimima alkaloid 13 (3) had not been assigned. Mohammad Movassaghi of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed…
The Stork Synthesis of (-)-Reserpine
The history of reserpine (3), isolated from the Indian shrub Rauwolfia serpentina, is storied. The anxiolytic activity of reserpine, the first tranquilizer, pointed the way to the development by Hoffmann-LaRoche…

Alkene metathesis in total synthesis: Valienamine, Agelastatin and Tonantzitlolone
Applications to natural product synthesis probe the limits of any synthetic method, as situations arise that would never have been considered in the course of first developing the method. PMID:35567400…
Best Synthetic Methods: Oxidation and Reduction
Although oxidation and reduction are common organic synthesis transformations, there is always room for improvement. The ideal reaction might use a solid, easily-measured reagent, a minimal amount of solvent, need…
