The Biosynthetic Gene Cluster for Sestermobaraenes—Discovery of a Geranylfarnesyl Diphosphate Synthase and a Multiproduct Sesterterpene Synthase from Streptomyces mobaraensis
Dickschat, Jeroen S.,Hou, Anwei
, p. 19961 - 19965 (2020)
A biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces mobaraensis encoding the first cases of a bacterial geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase and a type I sesterterpene synthase was identified. The structures of seven sesterterpenes produced by these enzymes were elucidated, including their absolute configurations. The enzyme mechanism of the sesterterpene synthase was investigated by extensive isotope labeling experiments.
A catalytic asymmetric vinylogous mukaiyama aldol reaction
Heumann, Lars V.,Keck, Gary E.
, p. 4275 - 4278 (2007)
A vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction, conducted using 10 mol % of a BITIP catalyst and B(OMe)3 as an additive, effects an enantioselective four-carbon chain extension to give versatile Eαβ-unsaturated thiol esters.
Studies toward the Synthesis of an Oxazole-Based Analog of (-)-Zampanolide
Bold, Christian P.,Klaus, Cindy,Pfeiffer, Bernhard,Schurmann, Jasmine,Lombardi, Rafael,Lucena-Agell, Daniel,Diaz, J. Fernando,Altmann, Karl-Heinz

Studies are described toward the synthesis of an oxazole-based analog of (-)-zampanolide (2). Construction of (-)-dactylolide analog 22 was achieved via alcohol 5 and acid 4 through esterification and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE)-based macrocyclization; however, attempts to attach (Z,E)-sorbamide to 22 proved unsuccessful. The C(8)-C(9) double bond of the macrocycle was prone to migration into conjugation with the oxazole ring, which may generally limit the usefulness of zampanolide analogs with aromatic moieties as tetrahydropyran replacements.
Synthesis of the analogs of plocabulin and their preliminary structure-activity relationship study

Plocabulin, a marine natural polyketide isolated from the sponge Lithoplocamia lithistoides, is a novel and potent microtubule-destabilizing agent. Guided by the reported binding mode, several new analogs of plocabulin have been designed through removing
Cross-Selective Aza-Pinacol Coupling via Atom Transfer Catalysis

A cross-selective aza-pinacol coupling of aldehydes and imines has been developed to afford valuable β-amino alcohols. This strategy enables chemoselective conversion of aliphatic aldehydes to ketyl radicals, in the presence of more easily reduced imines and other functional groups. Upon carbonyl-specific activation by AcI, a photoinitiated Mn catalyst selectively reduces the resulting α-oxy iodide by an atom transfer mechanism. The ensuing ketyl radical selectively couples to imines, precluding homodimerization by a classical reductive approach. In this first example of reductive, ketyl coupling by atom transfer catalysis, Zn serves as a terminal reductant to facilitate Mn catalyst turnover. This new strategy also enables ketyl radical couplings to alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, propellanes, and chiral imines.
