Abstract
The quest to explore chemical space is vital for identifying novel disease targets, impacting both the effectiveness and safety profile of therapeutic agents. The tangible chemical space, currently estimated at a conservative 108 synthesized compounds, pales in comparison to the theoretically conceivable diversity of 1060 molecules. To bridge this vast gap, organic chemists are spearheading innovative methodologies that promise to broaden this limited chemical diversity. A beacon of this progressive wave is Asymmetric Carbene Transfer (ACT), a burgeoning strategy that significantly boosts molecular diversity with efficient bond-formation and precise chiral control. This review focuses on the capabilities of ACT in creating pharmaceutically significant molecules, encompassing an array of natural products and bioactive compounds. Through the lens of ACT, we discern its substantial influence on drug discovery, paving the way for novel therapeutic avenues by expanding the boundaries of molecular diversity. This review will shed light on prospective methodological developments of ACT and articulate their conceivable contributions to the medicinal chemistry arena.

Stereodivergent Synthesis of 1,4-Dicarbonyl Compounds through Sulfonium Rearrangement: Mechanistic Investigation, Stereocontrolled Access to γ-Lactones and γ-Lactams, and Total Synthesis of Paraconic Acids. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:13914-13923. [PMID: 38741029 PMCID: PMC11117187 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c01755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Although simple γ-lactones and γ-lactams have received considerable attention from the synthetic community, particularly due to their relevance in biological and medicinal contexts, stereoselective synthetic approaches to more densely substituted derivatives remain scarce. The in-depth study presented herein, showcasing a straightforward method for the stereocontrolled synthesis of γ-lactones and γ-lactams, builds on and considerably expands the stereodivergent synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds by a ynamide/vinyl sulfoxide coupling. A full mechanistic and computational study of the rearrangement was conducted, uncovering the role of all of the reaction components and providing a rationale for stereoselection. The broad applicability of the developed tools to streamlining synthesis is demonstrated by concise enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-nephrosteranic acid, (+)-rocellaric acid, and (+)-nephromopsinic acid.

Abstract
Recent studies of diastereoselective conjugate additions of monoorganocuprates, Li[RCuI], to chiral γ-alkoxycrotonates and fumarates are disclosed. This methodology was applied to the shortest total synthesis of (-)-dihydroprotolichesterinic acid to date, but several attempts to prepare other succinate-derived natural products, such as pilocarpine and antrodin E, were unsuccessful.
