Oxime-directed catalytic asymmetric hydroboration is diverted to catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation (CAH) upon the addition of a proton source, such as MeOH, or by running the reaction under a hydrogen atmosphere. A borane (e.g., pinacolborane) is require

A synthesis of (-)-curcuphenol, (-)-curcuquinone and (-)-curcuhydroquinone from o-valerolactone is described. The key steps include an Evans asymmetric methylation of 5-(benzyloxy)pentanoic acid (5), an oxidative aromatization of enone (11) and a regioselective oxidation of the phenol to o-quinone derivative with bis(trifluoro acetate)iodobenzene.

A highly convergent total synthesis of 12,13-desoxyepothilone B (4, Epothilone D) is described involving the coupling of vinyl iodide (5) and olefin (6). Key steps in the synthesis are the introduction of chirality at C15 via highly enantioselective lipas

The total synthesis of (12S,13S)-trans-epothilone A (1a) was achieved based on two different convergent strategies. In a first-generation approach, construction of the C(11)-C(12) bond by Pd0-catalyzed Negishi-type coupling between the C(12)-to-C(15) trans-vinyl iodide 5 and the C(7)-to-C(11) alkyl iodide 4 preceded the (nonselective) formation of the C(6)-C(7) bond by aldol reaction between the C(7)-to-C(15) aldehyde 25 and the dianion derived from the C(1)-to-C(6) acid 3. The lack of selectivity in the aldol step was addressed in a second-generation approach, which involved construction of the C(6)-C(7) bond in a highly diastereoselective fashion through reaction between the acetonide-protected C(l)-to-C(6) diol 31 ('Schinzer's ketone') and the C(7)-to-C(11) aldehyde 30. As part of this strategy, the C(11)-C(12) bond was established subsequent to the critical aldol step and was based on B-alkyl Suzuki coupling between the C(1)-to-C(11) fragment 40 and C(12)-to-C(15) trans-vinyl iodide 5. Both approaches converged at the stage of the 3-O, 7-O-bis-TBS-protected seco acid 27, which was converted to trans-deoxyepothilone A (2) via Yamaguchi macrolactonization and subsequent deprotection. Stereoselective epoxidation of the trans C(12)-C(13) bond could be achieved by epoxidation with Oxone in the presence of the catalyst 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-L-erythro-2,3-hexodiuro-2,6-pyranose (42a), which provided a 8:1 mixture of 1a and its (12R,13R)-epoxide isomer 1b in 27% yield (54% based on recovered starting material). The absolute configuration of 1a was established by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1a is at least equipotent with natural epothilone A in its ability to induce tubulin polymerization and to inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines in vitro. In contrast, the biological activity of 1b is at least two orders of magnitude lower than that of epothilone A or 1a.
