Abstract
This study demonstrates a nucleophile-catalyzed, trimethylsilyl halide-promoted rearrangement reaction of glycidol acetals to form halogenated cyclic acetals. The acetal group has been activated selectively in the presence of trimethylsilyl cation, which is used as in situ-generated alkoxide trapping reagent. Nucleophilic chloride and bromide ions participate in addition reactions with epoxides predominantly via SN1-type epoxide opening, while non-nucleophilic iodide and triflate ions induce a positive charge at the epoxide carbon. A systematic investigation of acetal-initiated polyene cyclization of epoxy polyenes has been conducted using bicyclic epoxonium ions as transient intermediates. Unfavorable orbital orientation and other stereoelectronic factors hinder the much-anticipated polyene cyclizations. The potential of this method has been showcased through its application in the total synthesis of parvistone A, a chlorinated styryllactone.

Modular total syntheses of trans-clerodanes and sesquiterpene (hydro)quinones via tail-to-head cyclization and reductive coupling strategies. Nat Commun 2022; 13:6633. [PMID: 36333313 PMCID: PMC9636166 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-34404-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
The trans-clerodanes and sesquiterpene (hydro)quinones are a growing class of natural products that exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Although they are different types of natural products, some of them feature the same trans-decalin core structure. Here, we report the total syntheses of two members of trans-clerodanes, five members of sesquiterpene (hydro)quinones as well as the proposed structure of dysidavarone D via a modular synthetic route. A bioinspired tail-to-head cyclization strategy was developed to syntheses of the trans-decalin architectures by using two diastereochemically complementary radical polyene cyclization reactions catalyzed by Ti(III) and mediated by Mn(III), respectively. The different types of side chains were introduced by challenging nickel catalyzed reductive couplings of sterically hindered alkyl halides. The synthesis of the proposed dysidavarone D proved a wrong structural assignment of the natural product.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of substituted 5-(hydroxymethyl)piperazin-2-ones was established by using an automated synthesis process. Thirteen piperazinones were synthesized from chiral α-bromocarboxylic acids and Garner's aldehyde which were prepared by using our originally developed automated synthesizer, ChemKonzert®. The automated method of synthesizing chiral α-bromocarboxylic acids was efficient and safe because the rate of the dropwise addition of the reagent can be controlled using the automated synthesizer. This method is expected to contribute to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The first total syntheses of the natural products pyrophen and campyrones A-C, isolated from the fungus Aspergillus niger, have been achieved in six steps starting from commercially available N-Boc amino acids. Key steps in this sequence include a vinylogous Claisen condensation to achieve fragment coupling and a dioxinone thermolysis/cyclization cascade to form the α-pyrone ring. The route described herein afforded the natural products in 15-25% overall yield, furnishing sufficient material for testing in biological assays.

Novel, male-produced aggregation pheromone of the cerambycid beetle Rosalia alpina, a priority species of European conservation concern. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0183279.

Abstract
Several recent studies have demonstrated the great potential for exploiting semiochemicals in ecology and conservation studies. The cerambycid beetle Rosalia alpina represents one of the flagship species of saproxylic insect biodiversity in Europe. In recent years its populations appear to have declined substantially, and its range has shrunk considerably as a result of forest management and urbanization. Here, we collected volatile chemicals released by males and females of R. alpina. Analyses of the resulting extracts revealed the presence of a single male-specific compound, identified as a novel alkylated pyrone structure. In field bioassays in Slovenia, traps baited with the synthesized pyrone captured both sexes of R. alpina, indicating that the pyrone functions as an aggregation pheromone. Our results represent the first example of a new structural class of pheromones within the Cerambycidae, and demonstrate that pheromone-baited traps can provide a useful tool for sampling R. alpina. This tool could be particularly useful in the ongoing development of conservation strategies for the iconic but endangered Alpine longicorn.

Abstract
A solution-phase automated synthesis of the versatile synthetic intermediate, Garner's aldehyde, was demonstrated. tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protection, acetal formation, and reduction of the ester to the corresponding aldehyde were performed utilizing our originally developed automated synthesizer, ChemKonzert. The developed procedure was also useful for the synthesis of Garner's aldehyde analogues possessing fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) protection.
