A carbohydrate based approach for the enantioselective synthesis of the polyketide acid unit present in nagahamide A has been reported. Reductive ring opening of a chiral cyclopropane ketone group to enantioselectively install the methyl and propyl groups, is a salient feature of this synthesis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

4-Fluoroprolines are among the most useful nonnatural amino acids in chemical biology. Here, practical routes are reported for the synthesis of the 2S, 4R, 2S, 4S, and 2R,4S diastereomers of 4-fluoroproline. Each route starts with (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline, which is a prevalent component of collagen and hence readily available, and uses a fluoride salt to install the fluoro group. Hence, the routes provide process-scale access to these useful nonnatural amino acids. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The total syntheses of decarestrictines C-1 and C-2 have been described. The synthetic strategy involves a practical and flexible approach using esterification and ring-closing metathesis to unite the acid and alcohol fragments. The acid fragments are enantiomers of each other and have been prepared from L-(-)-malic acid via similar transformations; in Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, (+)-DET has been used for decarestrictine C-1 and (-)-DET for decarestrictine C-2. The alcohol fragment is identical for both decarestrictines C-1 and C-2 and has been accessed from D-(+)-mannitol. Comparison of the H-1 and C-13 NMR data combined with the computational studies predicts the presence of two conformations without and with hydrogen bonding (conformational isomers I and II for decarestrictine C-1), respectively. The H-1 and C-13 NMR data for decarestrictine C-2 completely agreed with the analytical data reported by Kibayashi et al. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
