Synthetic studies on pectenotoxins: Synthesis of the common C8-C18 THF fragment

The stereoselective synthesis of the common C8-C18 THF fragment of pectenotoxins is reported. The THF ring was constructed by the ring closure of the epoxide possessing all six asymmetric centers with a 5-exo-mode. These stereogenic centers were arranged successively from the enantiomerically active epoxide by utilizing the stereo-differentiating influence of the proximal functional groups.
Synthetic studies on azadirachtin: Asymmetric synthesis of the tetracyclic decalin part of azadirachtin

, p. 1878 - 1893 (2007/10/03)
A synthesis of the tetracyclic decalin part of azadirachtin in the naturally occurring form is described. The key reactions involve the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) asymmetric reduction of the ketone, and an intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction.
