The first total synthesis of the macrolactone antibiotic branimycin (4) has been described. The key disconnection leads to a cis-dehydrodecalone core and a polyketide side chain which are connected via organometallic addition. The dehydrodecalone core was targeted via altogether five different approaches featuring various kinds of chiral elements and ring-closing methodology. In the end the most successful method starting from diepoxynaphthalene 109 was chosen to carry on with the synthesis. Thus the oxygen functions and carbon appendages were introduced via organometallic desymmetrization reactions to generate epoxy ketone 107, to which vinyl iodide 11 was added after conversion into the organolithium species. The synthesis was completed by introducing the ester side chain via Michael addition and subsequent macrolactonization. Competitive approach: The first total synthesis of the macrolactone antibiotic branimycin is described (see figure). The dehydrodecalin core was targeted via five competing approaches featuring various kinds of chiral elements and ring-closing methodology. In this "Darwinian" struggle the most successful route emerged and led to the completion of the synthesis. Copyright

(Chemical Equation Presented) Ignoring the STOP sign: A pyrrolysine analogue bearing a terminal alkyne was site-specifically incorporated into recombinant calmodulin (CaM) through a UAG codon. The resulting protein was labeled with an azide-containing dye using a copper(I)-catalyzed click reaction. Subsequent application of an orthogonal cysteine tagging method yielded a CaM labeled with two distinct fluorophores that enabled its study by FRET spectroscopy.

A fully substrate controlled stereoselective route to construct cis-hexahydronaphthalene 4 is described starting from nonracemic butenolide 6. The key step is an exo-selective transannular Diels-Alder reaction (TADA) of tetraene 5, whose intrinsic constra

The Shibasaki heterobimetallic Binol lanthanide, and Trost dinuclear zinc catalysts were studied in a nitroaldol reaction of 3-methyl-1-nitrobutane with a chiral non-racemic tetrahydrofuran aldehyde. Other methods utilized KF, Amberlyst A-21, and t-BuOK a
