The first total synthesis of marine natural product, (?)-majusculoic acid (1) and its seven analogs (9–15), was accomplished in three to ten steps with a yield of 3% to 28%. The strategy featured the application of the conformational controlled establishment of the trans-cyclopropane and stereochemical controlled bromo-olefination or olefination by Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction. The potential anti-inflammatory activity of the eight compounds (1 and 9–15) was evaluated by determining the nitric oxide (NO) production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophages RAW264.7. (?)-Majusculoic acid (1), methyl majusculoate (9), and (1R,2R)-2-((3E,5Z)-6-bromonona-3,5-dien-1-yl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (12) showed significant effect with inhibition rates of 33.68%, 35.75%, and 43.01%, respectively. Moreover, they did not show cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 cells, indicating that they might be potential anti-inflammatory agents.

A series of chiral polymeric Co(iii)-salen complexes based on a number of achiral and chiral linkers were synthesized and their catalytic performances were assessed in the asymmetric hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides. The effects of the linker were judiciously studied and it was found that in the case of the chiral BINOL-based polymeric salen complex 1, there was an enrichment in catalyst reactivity and enantioselectivity of the unreacted epoxide, particularly in the case of short as well as long chain aliphatic epoxides. Good isolated yields of the unreacted epoxide (up to 46% compared to 50% theoretical yield) along with high enantioselectivity (up to 99%) were obtained in most cases using catalyst 1. Further studies showed that catalyst 1 could retain its catalytic activity for six cycles under the present reaction conditions without any significant loss in activity or enantioselectivity. To show the practical applicability of the above synthesized catalyst we have synthesised some potent chiral β-blockers in moderate yield and high enantioselectivity using complex 1. The DFT (M06-L/6-31+G??//ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G?:STO-3G)) calculations revealed that the chiral BINOL linker influences the enantioselectivity achieved with Co(iii)-salen complexes. Further, the transition state calculations show that the R-BINOL linker with the (S,S)-Co(iii)-salen complex is energetically preferred over the corresponding S-BINOL linker with the (S,S)-Co(iii)-salen complex for the HKR of 1,2-epoxyhexane. The role of non-covalent C-H?π interactions and steric effects has been discussed to control the HKR reaction of 1,2-epoxyhexane.

Four mixtures of four fluorous-tagged quasiisomers have been synthesized, demixed, and detagged to make all 16 stereoisomers of the macrocyclic lactone natural product Sch725674. A new bare-minimum tagging pattern needs only two tags-one fluorous and one nonfluorous-to encode four isomers. The structure of Sch725674 is assigned as (5R,6S,8R,14R,E)-5,6,8-trihydroxy-14- pentyloxacyclotetradec-3-en-2-one. Various comparisons of spectra of 32 lactones (16 with tags, 16 without) and 16 ester precursors (8 with tags, 8 without) provide insights into when and why related compounds have the same or different spectra.
