- Total Synthesis of the Marine Macrolide Amphidinolide F
-
A new and efficient convergent approach toward the synthesis of amphidinolide F is described through the assembly of three fragments. The two trans-tetrahydrofurans were built by a diastereoselective C-glycosylation with titanium enolate of bulky N-acetyloxazolidinethiones. The side chain was inserted by a Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling reaction. A sulfone condensation/desulfonylation sequence, a Stille cross-coupling, and a macrolactonization were applied to connect the fragments.

- Alkylation of thiols with trichloroacetimidates under neutral conditions
-
Trichloroacetimidates are displaced with thiols to form the corresponding sulfides without the need for an added acid or base by simply heating the reactants in refluxing THF. This operationally simple procedure provides the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields with only the formation of the neutral trichloroacetamide as the side product. The imidate may also be formed in situ, allowing for a direct method for the formation of sulfides from alcohols. This reaction provides a general method for the synthesis of a variety of sulfides from inexpensive and readily available alcohol starting materials.

- Total synthesis of (-)-spirotryprostatin B: Synthesis and related studies
-
The total synthesis of spirotryprostatin B, a cytostatic spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindole] alkaloid, is described. The key step of the synthetic approach consists of the application of the Mgl 2-mediated ring-expansion reaction of a spiro[cyclopropane-1, 3′-oxindole] with an aldimine, leading to rapid assembly of the spirotryprostatin core. The route documents the installation of the prenyl side chain by Julia-Kocienski olefination of a key aldehyde precursor, a transformation that ultimately allows for facile synthesis of analogues and facilitates structure-activity relationships studies.

- Tetrazoles. XXXI. Phase-Transfer Reactions of 1-Substituted Tetrazole-5-thiones and Their Derivatives
-
Alkylation of 1-substituted tetrazole-5-thiones under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis in the two-phase system liquid-liquid proceeds regioselectively at the sulfur atom, regardless of the alkylating agent and phase-transfer catalyst. Phase-transfer oxidation of the 5-alkylthiotetrazoles thus obtained by potassium permanganate is a convenient method for preparation of 5-alkylsulfonyltetrazoles which can be used to synthesize functionally substituted tetrazoles.
