Four new phosphorus dendrimeric phase-transfer catalysts are prepared that contain 12 (+)-cinchoninium salts on the surface obtained by the quaternisation of the quinuclidinic N atom. The asymmetric alkylation of a glycinate Schiff base with benzyl bromide is used as a benchmark reaction, and the dendrimeric catalyst that contains an allyl group on the O-9 hydroxy group of the cinchonine units is the most active. The recovery and reuse of the catalyst are possible for five consecutive runs without loss of activity and with only a slight decrease in enantioselectivity. If other electrophiles are used, substituted benzyl bromides give better results than other activated alkyl bromides to afford the corresponding R amino acid derivatives. A comparison of these results with those reported previously for similar cinchoninium salts shows that dendrimers could be a better support than other polymers for this type of organocatalysis.
Asymmetric syntheses of potent antitumor macrolides cryptophycin B and arenastatin A

Efficient and highly stereoselective syntheses of cryptophycin B and arenastatin A, potent cytotoxic agents, are described. An ester-derived titanium enolate mediated syn-aldol reaction was employed to generate the stereocenters C-5 and C-6. The route is convergent and provides a convenient access to the synthesis of structural variants of cryptophycins as well as members of its family. ( Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

[structure--see text] An efficient and highly stereoselective synthesis of cryptophycin B (2), a potent cytotoxic agent, is described. The ester-derived titanium-enolate-mediated syn-aldol reaction was employed to generate the stereocenters C(5) and C(6). The route is convergent and provides a convenient access to the synthesis of structural variants of cryptophycin B as well as members of its family.
