Asymmetric synthesis of a 12-membered macrolactone core and a 6-epi analogue of amphidinolide W from 4-pentenoic acid

Applications of oxazolidinones as chiral auxiliaries in the asymmetric alkylation reaction applied to total synthesis

In this review, a number of applications of chiral oxazolidinones in the asymmetric alkylation reaction applied to total synthesis are described.

Enantioselective first total synthesis of eujavanoic acid B through organocatalyzed IMDA reaction

The first total synthesis of the polyketide eujavanoic acid B has been accomplished using 1,3-propane diol as the starting material and involving Maruoka asymmetric allylation, Julia olefination, HWE olefination and organocatalyzed IMDA reaction as the key steps.
