The total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 (1), an extremely potent antitumor agent, has been accomplished. The synthesis features Ugi's 4CC reaction, intramolecular Heck reaction, phenol-aldehyde cyclization, and acid-induced intramolecular sulfide formation. Copyright
Synthesis of optically active α-arylglycines: Stereoselective Mannich-type reaction with a new chiral template

, p. 1179 - 1181 (2007/10/03)
Mannich-type reaction of phenols with iminolactone 4, readily prepared from commercially available phenylglycine, proceeded with high stereoselectivity to give α-arylglycine derivatives. The reaction was also applicable to other electron-rich aromatic compounds and aryl boronic acids. These adducts could be readily converted to the corresponding optically active α-arylglycines.
