Several macrocyclization reaction attempts of highly advanced precursors toward a total synthesis of marine diterpene bielschowskysin are disclosed. Biomimetic [2+2]-photocyclization reactions were applied to construct the cyclobutane core in these intermediates, which could be accessed along scalable high-yielding reaction sequences from cheap enantiopure starting-materials. Asymmetric syntheses of various highly functionalized intermediates toward the total synthesis of bielschowskysin (1) are described. In particular a biomimetic [2+2]-photocycloaddition reaction strategy, forming the cyclobutane core, was followed by various macrocyclization reactions attempts. Copyright
Norrisolide: Total synthesis and related studies

A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-norrisolide is presented. This natural product belongs to a family of marine spongiane diterpenes the structure of which is characterized by a fused γ-lactone-γ-lactol ring system attached to a bicyclic hydrophobic core.

The marine natural product norrisolide was found to induce irreversible fragmentation of the Golgi membranes. A hypothesis accounting for the chemical origins of this effect is proposed based on structure/function studies of norrisolide and designed analo
Synthesis of 3'-ethynylthymidine, 3'-vinylthymidine and 3'-bromovinylthymidine as potential antiviral agents

, p. 679 - 682 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of three novel 3'-unsaturated carbon analogues of AZT and FLT is described. The key step in the synthesis is a Cu(I)-catalyzed addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to a 2,3-unsaturated lactone, followed by, in the case of compounds 2 and 3, el
