Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (—)-Acetylaranotin, a Dihydrooxepine Epidithiodiketopiperazine
The first total synthesis of the dihydrooxepine-containing epidithiodiketopiperazine (ETP) (−)-acetylaranotin (1) is reported. The key steps of the synthesis include an enantioselective azomethine ylide (1,3)-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to set the absolute and relative stereochemistry, a rhodium-catalyzed cycloisomerization/chloride elimination sequence to generate the dihydrooxepine moiety, and a stereoretentive diketopiperazine sulfenylation to install the epidisulfide. This synthesis provides access to (−)-1 in 18 steps from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials. We anticipate that the approach described herein will serve as a general strategy for the synthesis of additional members of the dihydrooxepine ETP family
Enantioselective Synthesis of (−)-Acetylapoaranotin
The first enantioselective total synthesis of the epipolythiodiketopiperazine (ETP) natural product (−)-acetylapoaranotin (3) is reported. The concise synthesis was enabled by an eight-step synthesis of a key cyclohexadienol-containing amino ester building block. The absolute stereochemistry of both amino ester building blocks used in the synthesis is set through catalytic asymmetric (1,3)-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The formal syntheses of (−)-emethallicin E and (−)-haemotocin are also achieved through the preparation of a symmetric cyclohexadienol-containing diketopiperazine

Site-Selective Catalysis of Phenyl Thionoformate Transfer as a Tool for Regioselective Deoxygenation of Polyols
Tandem Chain Extension-Mannich Reaction: An Approach to β-Proline Derivatives
A zinc carbenoid-initiated chain extension reaction provides access to an organometallic intermediate, which can be used to capture activated imines. Deprotection of the nitrogen and reduction provides access to racemic derivatives of β-proline. The relative stereochemistry of the β-proline can be controlled through use of different activating groups on the imine nitrogen
