Abstract
The 2-(silyloxymethyl)allylboration of aldehydes was established to enable stereoselective access to α-(exo)-methylene γ-butyrolactones under mild conditions. Acid-labile functionality and chiral carbonyl compounds are tolerated. Excellent asymmetric induction was observed for β,β'-disubstituted α,β-epoxy aldehydes. These findings led to the enantioselective total synthesis of the sesquiterpene natural product (-)-parthenolide, its unnatural (+)-enantiomer, and diastereoisomers. Among all the isomers tested in cell culture, only (-)-parthenolide showed potent inhibition of microtubule detyrosination in living cells, confirming its exquisite selectivity on tubulin carboxypeptidase activity. On the other hand, the anti-inflammatory activity of the parthenolides was weaker and less selective with regard to compound stereochemistry.

Abstract
Metal carbenoids such as lithium or Simmons-Smith-type reagents are widely used in organic synthesis, particularly in cyclopropanation and homologation reactions. These reagents are often highly reactive and thermally labile, thus limiting their isolation and hampering the development of new synthetic applications. Recent years however, have shown that by means of systematic stabilization a control of reactivity and the development of new applications is possible. This feature article documents recent developments in the control of carbenoid reactivity and stability and highlights structural and electronic properties as well as applications in main group element and transition metal chemistry.

Abstract
Inspired by the biosynthesis of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs), herein we report the asymmetric total synthesis of the germacrane ring (24). The synthetic strategy features a selective aldol reaction between β,γ-unsaturated chiral sulfonylamide 15a and aldehyde 13, as well as the intramolecular α-alkylation of sulfone 21 to construct a 10-membered carbocylic ring. The key intermediate 24 can be used to prepare the natural products costunolide and parthenolide (PTL), which are the key precursors for transformation into other SLs. Furthermore, the described synthetic sequences are amenable to the total synthesis of SL analogues, such as trifluoromethylated analogues 32 and 45. Analogues 32 and 45 maintained high activities against a series of cancer cell lines compared to their parent PTL and costunolide, respectively. In addition, 32 showed enhanced tolerance to acidic media compared with PTL. To our surprise, PTL and 32 showed comparable half-lives in rat plasma and in the presence of human liver microsomes.

Abstract
The pharmacological management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension has significantly changed over the last 18 years with the introduction of PGF2α analogues, more specifically latanoprost (6), travoprost (8), bimatoprost (10) and tafluprost (12). Prostanoids are currently the first-line medicines among ocular antihypertensive drugs in terms of efficacy, safety, patient compliance and medical economy. Their ability to effectively reduce intraocular pressure with once-per-day dosing, ocular tolerability comparable to timolol and general lack of systemic adverse effects have made them the mainstay of pharmacological therapy for glaucoma and ocular hypertension all over the world. The present review reports a novel, convergent and highly diastereoselective method for the synthesis of PGF2α analogues from the structurally advanced prostaglandin phenylsulfone (5Z)-(+)-15 and new ω-chain synthons. The biochemistry, clinical efficacy and side effects of four commercially available PGF2α analogues, currently used as first-line agents for reducing intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, are also discussed.

Abstract
Studies toward the synthesis of trichoaurantianolide C (5) are described. Stille cross-coupling reactions of (E)- and (Z)-β-stannyl-α,β-unsaturated esters with allylic acetate 32 provide for the stereocontrolled formation of nonconjugated 2,5-diene-1-ols. Studies of the asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation are utilized to establish diastereofacial selectivity for the preparation of a crucial C2 tertiary allylic alcohol for subsequent esterification and ring-closing metathesis. SmI2 reductive cyclization of the key butenolide precursor 49 led to formation of the central seven-membered ring of the tricyclic core of the natural product.

Abstract
Tandem insertion of 1,1-dihalo-1-lithio species (halocarbenoids) and lithium alkynides into zirconacyclopentenes and zirconcyclopentanes affords carbocyclic products in high yields via an unusual rearrangement that probably involves addition of an organolithium species to the β-position of a zirconium-alkyne complex to give an alkenylidene-zirconate species. A wide variety of cyclopentanoid organic structures are rapidly assembled in good yield using this multicomponent coupling. The main side reaction, which becomes exclusive in some cases, is β-hydride elimination of an intermediate cyclopentyl- or cyclopentenyl zirconocene.
