An efficient and highly enantioselective synthesis of d-biotin from the known cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (5) was accomplished in 48% overall yield. The key reactions in the sequence involve the catalytic enantioselective reduction of meso-cyclic imide 6 using polymer-supported chiral oxazoborolidine, derived from (S)-α,α -diphenylprolinol and polymer-bound sulfonyl chloride, and the installation of the C5 side chain at C4 in the thiolactone 9 via a Ni/C-catalyzed Fukuyama coupling reaction.
Cortamidine oxide, a novel disulfide metabolite from the New Zealand basidiomycete (mushroom) cortinarius species

Three disulfide metabolites were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete (mushroom) Cortinarius sp., collected in the Catlins, New Zealand. The structures of these compounds were determined as the unsymmetrical disulfide cortamidine oxide (1), 2,2′-dithiobis(pyridine N-oxide) (2), and the symmetrical disulfide 3. Both 1 and 2 showed significant antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. 2,2′-Dithiobis(pyridine N-oxide) (2) and the symmetrical disulfide 3 are assumed to be artifacts of the isolation procedure.
Orthocarbonsaeure-ester mit 2,4,10-Trioxaadamantanstruktur als Carboxylschutzgruppe; Verwendung zur Synthese von substituierten Carbonsaeuren mit Hilfe von Grignard-Reagenzien

The surprising stability of 2,4,10-trioxa-3-adamantyl derivatives 1 against nucleophilic substitution by organomagnesium compounds is discussed and shown to be caused by unfavourable stereoelectronic and steric factors governing the substitution of these cage compounds (Scheme 2).As a consequence, a number of Grignard reagents 2 containing the carboxyl group masked as 2,4,10-trioxa-3-adamantyl group could be prepared and have been reacted in a second step with various electrophiles (cf.Scheme 4).In the products 7-13 and 15b the carboxyl masking group is removed by mild ac id hydrolysis and saponification (cf.Scheme 3) to yield the corresponding acids 16a-21a, 22, and 23a.Acids 21a and 23a have been further transformed to give the macrocyclic lactones 24 and 26, isolated from Galbanum oleo-gum-resin, and acid 22 to give 12-methyl-13-tridecanolide (25), isolated from Angelica root oil.In addition 1-bromo-ω-(2,4,10-trioxa-3-adamantyl)alkanes 1c and 1b have been used to synthesize (+/-)-methyl recifeiolate (29b) and pure cis-ambrettolic acid ((Z)-32a).
