An efficient synthesis involving two copper-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl coupling reactions has been designed to easily access doubly isotope-labeled fatty acids. Such NMR- and IR-active compounds were obtained in excellent overall yields and will be further used for determining the conformation of an alkyl chain of lipidic biomolecules upon interaction with proteins.
Quinol fatty alcohols as promoters of axonal growth

The synthesis of three series of quinol fatty alcohols (QFAs) and their biological activities on the promotion of axonal growth are described. Interestingly, the 15-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)pentadecan-1-ol, the QFA bearing 15 carbon atoms on the side chain (n = 15), shows the most potent promotion of axonal growth in the presence of both permissive and non-permissive naturally occurring substrates such as Sema3A and myelin proteins.
Total syntheses of squamocin A and squamocin D, bi-tetrahydrofuran acetogenins from Annonaceae

, p. 1889 - 1904 (2007/10/03)
The total syntheses of the Annonaceous acetogenins squamocin A and squamocin D have been achieved. The synthesis follows a modular strategy, wherein a left-side chain, the central bis-THF core and the right-side chain are assembled together. Key reactions are additions of organomagnesium compounds to bi-THF aldehydes. At the end of the synthesis the butenolide moiety was introduced. This modular synthetic approach should be useful for the synthesis of other related natural products as well as pharmacologically interesting analogs.
