A synthesis of the nortropane alkaloid calystegine A3 is described from D-glucose. The key step employs a zinc-mediated tandem reaction where a benzyl-protected methyl 6iodo glucoside is fragmented to give an unsaturated aldehyde, which is then transformed into the corresponding benzylimine and allylated in the same pot. The functionalized nona-l,8-diene, thus obtained, is converted into the sevenmembered carbon skeleton in calystegine A3 by ring-closing olefin metathesis. Subsequent deoxygenation by the BartonMcCombie protocol, hydroboration and oxidative workup followed by hydrogenolysis affords calystegine A3. The synthesis uses a total of 13 steps from glucose and confirms the absolute configuration of the natural product.

New asymmetric syntheses of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) derivatives are described. Key intermediates were used to prepare diacylglyceryl moieties with dibutyryl, dioctanoyl, and dihexadecanoyl chains. In addition, a modified route provided PtdIns(3)P and PtdIns(4)P triesters with P-1-linked aminopropyl groups for preparation of affinity probes. The synthesis of the inosityl precursor employed a dibutyltin oxide-mediated p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) etherification to give either the 2-PMB- or the 3-PMB-protected glucopyranosides. The Ferrier rearrangement was used to convert suitably protected glucose derivatives to enantiomerically pure, differentially protected D-myo-inositol key intermediates. A versatile phosphoramidite reagent was employed to allow synthesis of PtdInsPn derivatives with diacylglyceryl moieties of different chain lengths.
