, p. 396 - 399 (2009)
A short synthesis of the natural potent cytotoxic agent (-)-muricatacin 1 and related unsaturated lactones from a versatile common intermediate, dienedioate 2, derived from d-mannitol or tartaric acid, is described. The strategy depends upon the desymmetrization of 7 by dihydroxylation and elaboration of the hydroxy alkyl sidechain. A route to unsaturated lactones is also described using a cis selective Wittig reaction. Since the enantiomers of 2 are available from the corresponding tartaric acids, this method provides access to both enantiomers of the described compounds and a wide range of derivatives.
An approach to the carbon backbone of bielschowskysin, part 1: Photocyclization strategy

Several macrocyclization reaction attempts of highly advanced precursors toward a total synthesis of marine diterpene bielschowskysin are disclosed. Biomimetic [2+2]-photocyclization reactions were applied to construct the cyclobutane core in these intermediates, which could be accessed along scalable high-yielding reaction sequences from cheap enantiopure starting-materials. Asymmetric syntheses of various highly functionalized intermediates toward the total synthesis of bielschowskysin (1) are described. In particular a biomimetic [2+2]-photocycloaddition reaction strategy, forming the cyclobutane core, was followed by various macrocyclization reactions attempts. Copyright

A full account of an asymmetric synthesis of reblastatin (1) and the first total synthesis of autolytimycin (2) and related structural compounds is described. The syntheses expand the utility of a highly regio- and diastereoselective hydrometalation aldehyde addition sequence to assemble the fully functionalized ansa chain of the natural products. Also documented is an intramolecular copper-mediated amidation reaction to close the 19-membered macrolactams. The amidation reaction was also employed for the generation of structural derivatives (6-9) of phenolic ansamycins. Ansamycin natural products and selected structural analogues were evaluated in a competitive binding assay to breast cancer cell lysate and a cytotoxicity assay. Both reblastatin (1) and autolytimycin (2) were shown to bind the heat shock protein 90 with enhanced binding activity (~25 nM) than 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, 4), a geldanamycin (3) derivative currently under evaluation for treatment of cancer (~100 nM).
