Olefination of ester 26 which was obtained from acid 20 and alkenol 25 using a reduced titanium ethylidene reagent led to cyclic enol ether 28 which could be cyclized by iodospiroacetalization to the spiroacetal core of the antifungal compound spirofungin
Enantioselective total synthesis of borrelidin

The first total synthesis of the natural product borrelidin is described. The propionate fragment of the molecule was concisely synthesized through catalytic enantioselective reductive aldol reactions, a catalytic Negishi coupling, and a catalytic directed hydrogenation. The propionate segment was then fused to the vinyl iodide fragment through a catalytic Sonogashira coupling. Subsequent catalytic hydrostannylation and catalytic cyanation allowed access to the target structure. Copyright
