A total synthesis of FK-506
Ireland,Gleason,Gegnas,Highsmith
, p. 6856 - 6872 (2007/10/03)
A total synthesis of FK-506 (1) is presented. The synthesis features a highly convergent approach utilizing a block coupling strategy. Top and bottom half sections of the molecule are coupled by addition of a vinyl cuprate with a spiroenone. The α-allyl aldol functionality is revealed by a reductive opening of the spiroenone system. The labile α,β-diketoamide hemiketal portion of the molecule is prepared by a late stage generation and oxidation of a masked enediol. Top and bottom half segments are themselves derived by coupling of smaller subunits, resulting in a very convergent route.
Introduction of a chiral centre on C-6 of a carbohydrate unit: Application to the synthesis of the C-2 to C-15 fragment of ionomycin

Glucose is converted into the α,β-unsaturated urono-8,4-lactone 29 using an intramolecular Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. Higher order cuprates add to the lactone to provide the C-6 substituted carbohydrate derivative with high stereoselectivity. This product can be converted into the dithiane 34b which when coupled with an appropriate epoxide yields compound 37 which contains the C-2 to C-15 fragment of ionomycin with the correct absolute stereochemistry at each asymmetric centre for conversion into ionomycin.

, p. 6015 - 6018 (2007/10/02)
The first total synthesis of herbimycin A (1), the benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, has been accomplished by coupling two segments of the aliphatic ansa-chain 2 and the aromatic chromophore 3, elucidating the absolute stereochemistry.
Studies directed towards the synthesis of immunosuppressive agent FK-506: Construction of the tricarbonyl moiety
Rao,Chakraborty,Reddy
, p. 1439 - 1442 (2007/10/02)
Alkylation of a suitably functionalised dithiane precursor with L-N-(α-haloacetyl)-pipecolic acid methyl ester, followed by oxidation of the active methylene group provided an easy route to 1,2,3-tricarbonyl functionality of FK-506.
STEREOSELECTIVE TOTAL SYNTHESIS AND STEREOCHEMISTRY OF DIPLODIATOXIN, A MYCOTOXIN FROM DIPLODIA MAYDIS
Ichihara, Akitami,Kawagishi, Hirokazu,Tokugawa, Naohisa,Sakamura, Sadao
, p. 1347 - 1350 (2007/10/02)
The stereochemistry of diplodiatoxin has been deduced, and the assumed stereostructure has been confirmed by the synthesis using highly stereocontrolled strategy, in which the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a(E, E, E)-triene is involved.
STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF(-)-α-MULTISTRIATIN FROM D-GLUCOSE
Sum, Phaik-Eng,Weiler, Larry
, p. 327 - 334 (2007/10/02)
D-glucose was converted into (-)-α-multistriatin, the aggregation pheromone of the Europian elm bark beetle, via a highly stereoselective eighteen-step route
