We report the first total syntheses of strasseriolide A and B. Strasseriolide B shows potent activity against the wild-type malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and good activity against a chloroquine-resistant strain. A convergent strategy was envisioned with an aldehyde-acid fragment and a vinyl iodide-alcohol fragment. Both fragments were prepared using chiral pool starting materials. They were combined with a Yamaguchi esterification and cyclized with a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction. Strasseriolide B was assembled in a 16-step LLS.
Application of in situ-generated Rh-bound trimethylenemethane variants to the synthesis of 3,4-fused pyrroles

Rh-bound trimethylenemethane variants generated from the interaction of a Rh-carbenoid with an allene have been applied to the synthesis of substituted 3,4-fused pyrroles. The pyrrole products are useful starting points for the syntheses of various dipyrromethene ligands. Furthermore, the methodology has been applied to a synthesis of the natural product cycloprodigiosin, which demonstrates antitumor and immunosuppressor activity.
