Studies describe the total synthesis of (+)-ileabethoxazole (1) using a Stille cross-coupling reaction of propargylic stannanes with 5-iodo-1,3-oxazoles to produce 1,1-disubstituted allenes (11). An iron-mediated [2 + 2 + 1] carbocyclization yields a novel cyclopentenone for elaboration to 1. Site-selective palladium insertion reactions allow for regiocontrolled substitutions of the heterocycle. Asymmetric copper hydride reductions are examined, and strategies for the formation of the central aromatic ring are discussed.
A fully stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-leucascandrolide A

A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of leucascandrolide A, a cytotoxic 18-membered macrolide from the calcareous sponge Leucascandra caveolata, starts out with a Jacobsen asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reaction to configure the 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyran ring. All the remaining oxygenated stereocentres are introduced with high selectivity by relying on substrate-based control. An efficient endgame depends on two Mitsunobu reactions, the first to close the macrolactone with inversion at C17 and the second to attach the oxazole-containing side chain at C5, followed by Lindlar hydrogenation of the two alkynes to provide (+)-leucascandrolide A.
