Prostaglandins are among the most important natural isolates owing to their broad range of bioactivities and unique structures. However, current methods for the synthesis of prostaglandins suffer from low yields and lengthy steps. Here, we report a practicability-oriented synthetic strategy for the enantioselective and divergent synthesis of prostaglandins. In this approach, the multiply substituted five-membered rings in prostaglandins were constructed via the key enyne cycloisomerization with excellent selectivity (>20:1 d.r., 98% e.e.). The crucial chiral centre on the scaffold of the prostaglandins was installed using the asymmetric hydrogenation method (up to 98% yield and 98% e.e.). From our versatile common intermediates, a series of prostaglandins and related drugs could be produced in two steps, and fluprostenol could be prepared on a 20-gram scale.

The new approach to the anticancer agent rhizoxin D described herein does not cohere with the conventional logic of metathesis, according to which macrocycles are best closed at a disubstituted olefinic site; rather, the trisubstituted C11?C12 alkene flanked by an allylic -OH group served as the pivot point for synthesis. This motif was attained in good yield and excellent selectivity by a sequence of alkyne metathesis, trans-hydrostannation and cross coupling. Because the exact same substructure is prominently featured in numerous other natural products, the underpinning strategy, though unusual, might bear more general relevance.

A phytochemical investigation on the whole plant of Oxytropis falcata Bunge yielded 16 glycoconjugated compounds with structurally diverse volatile aglycones but similar sugars. Of these, five were previously undescribed compounds with different volatile aglycones but same glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucosyl moiety, including three octanol glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucosides (1–3), one acyclic monoterpenoid glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucoside (4), and one 4-phenyl-butan-2-ol glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucoside (5), and 11 were biological related known glucoconjugated volatile compounds (6–16) isolated from genus Oxytropis for the first time. The structures of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis of MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. The absolute configurations of aglycones and sugar residues were assigned via enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequently comparison of the specific rotations. This is the first report of such structurally diverse glycoconjugated volatile compounds from O. falcata, which might be regarded as the precursor of free volatile compounds, and presents scientific evidences for better clarifying the volatile compositions of this medicinal plant and genus Oxytropis.
