Abstract
The total syntheses of aflastatin A and its C3-C48 degradation fragment (6a, R = H) have been accomplished. The syntheses feature several complex diastereoselective fragment couplings, including a Felkin-selective trityl-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction, a chelate-controlled aldol reaction involving soft enolization with magnesium, and an anti-Felkin-selective boron-mediated oxygenated aldol reaction. Careful comparison of the spectroscopic data for the synthetic C3-C48 degradation fragment to that reported by the isolation group revealed a structural misassignment in the lactol region of the naturally derived degradation product. Ultimately, the data reported for the naturally derived aflastatin A C3-C48 degradation lactol (6a, R = H) were attributed to its derivative lactol trideuteriomethyl ether (6c, R = CD3). Additionally, the revised absolute configurations of six stereogenic centers (C8, C9, and C28-C31) were confirmed.

Genome-based discovery and total synthesis of janustatins, potent cytotoxins from a plant-associated bacterium. Nat Chem 2022; 14:1193-1201.

Abstract
Host-associated bacteria are increasingly being recognized as underexplored sources of bioactive natural products with unprecedented chemical scaffolds. A recently identified example is the plant-root-associated marine bacterium Gynuella sunshinyii of the chemically underexplored order Oceanospirillales. Its genome contains at least 22 biosynthetic gene clusters, suggesting a rich and mostly uncharacterized specialized metabolism. Here, in silico chemical prediction of a non-canonical polyketide synthase cluster has led to the discovery of janustatins, structurally unprecedented polyketide alkaloids with potent cytotoxicity that are produced in minute quantities. A combination of MS and two-dimensional NMR experiments, density functional theory calculations of 13C chemical shifts and semiquantitative interpretation of transverse rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy data were conducted to determine the relative configuration, which enabled the total synthesis of both enantiomers and assignment of the absolute configuration. Janustatins feature a previously unknown pyridodihydropyranone heterocycle and an unusual biological activity consisting of delayed, synchronized cell death at subnanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
This review describes the additions of allylmagnesium reagents to carbonyl compounds and to imines, focusing on the differences in reactivity between allylmagnesium halides and other Grignard reagents. In many cases, allylmagnesium reagents either react with low stereoselectivity when other Grignard reagents react with high selectivity, or allylmagnesium reagents react with the opposite stereoselectivity. This review collects hundreds of examples, discusses the origins of stereoselectivities or the lack of stereoselectivity, and evaluates why selectivity may not occur and when it will likely occur.

Abstract
![]()
Leustroducsin
B exhibits a large variety of biological activities
and unique structural features. An efficient and highly convergent
total synthesis of Leustroducsin B was achieved in 17 longest linear
and 39 total steps by disconnecting the molecule into three fragments
having similar levels of complexity. These pieces were connected via
a highly efficient chelate-controlled addition of a vinyl zincate
to an α-hydroxy ketone and a silicon-mediated cross-coupling.
The stereochemistry of the central and western fragments was set catalytically
in high yields and excellent de by a zinc-ProPhenol-catalyzed aldol
reaction and a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation.

Abstract
![]()
Alkenes have been discovered to be
chelating groups to Zn(II),
enforcing highly stereoselective additions of organozincs to β,γ-unsaturated
ketones. 1H NMR studies and DFT calculations provide support
for this surprising chelation mode. The results expand the range of
coordinating groups for chelation-controlled carbonyl additions from
heteroatom Lewis bases to simple C–C double bonds, broadening
the 60 year old paradigm.

Abstract
The marine natural product (+)-discodermolide was first isolated in 1990 and, to this day, remains a compelling synthesis target. Not only does the compound possess fascinating biological activity, but it also presents an opportunity to test current methods for chemical synthesis and provides an inspiration for new reaction development. A new synthesis of discodermolide employs a previously undisclosed stereoselective catalytic diene hydroboration and also establishes a strategy for the alkylation of chiral enolates. Furthermore, this synthesis of discodermolide provides the first examples of the asymmetric 1,4-diboration of dienes and borylative diene-aldehyde couplings in complex-molecule synthesis.

Abstract
The Felkin-Anh model has been widely accepted to describe stereochemical outcomes in nucleophilic additions to α-silyloxy carbonyl compounds. Herein, it is demonstrated that chelation-controlled additions can be performed using dialkylzinc reagents in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane with good to excellent diastereoselectivities. Ethyl zinc chloride, the Lewis acid responsible for promoting chelation, is generated in situ in an autocatalytic fashion. This approach circumvents its use in stoichiometric amounts.
