Enantioselective deacetylation of α-(±)-botryodiplodin acetate was successfully accomplished by means of lipase PS to afford (+)-botryodiplodin and α-(+)-botryodiplodin acetate with high enantiomeric excesses. Enzyme-mediated transesterification of the acetylated molecule with n-butanol, as well as its hydrolysis in several organic solvents, are also reported. The CD spectra of (+)-botryodiplodin and α-(+)-botryodiplodin acetate are also presented.
Organocatalytic Michael addition, a convenient tool in total synthesis. First asymmetric synthesis of (-)-botryodiplodin

The asymmetric Michael addition of propionaldehyde to (2E)-(3-nitro-but-2-enyloxymethyl)-benzene 8, catalyzed by the chiral diamine (S,S)-N-iPr-2,2′-bipyrrolidine, afforded, with 93% ee, a precursor 9 of (-)-botryodiplodin. The nitro functionality of 9 was converted to a ketone via a Nef reaction to give, after a few steps, the enantiomerically enriched (-)-botryodiplodin.
Diastereoselective radical cyclization of bromoacetals: Efficient synthesis of (±)-botryodiplodin
Villar, Felix,Andrey, Olivier,Renaud, Philippe
, p. 3375 - 3378 (2007/10/03)
A stereoselective synthesis of (±)-botryodiplodin is presented. The key reaction is a radical cyclization of a bromoacetal (Ueno-Stork reaction). The stereogenic acetal center has been used to control the stereoselectivity of the process: the difficulty in controlling the stereochemistry at C(3) of the tetrahydrofuran moiety during the cyclization step has been overcome by a double one-pot reduction procedure starting from a gem-dibromide.
