A concise synthesis of 12-C-glycosylated dodecanoic acids employing an olefin cross-metathesis reaction is developed. Examination of these acids as capping agents for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles reveals that they do not cap the Co-metal nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous phase, but that two of them can reduce and cap the Ag nanoparticles in water without any aggregation.

A concise assembly of the central tetrahydropyran unit of aflastatin A featuring a Pd-mediated alkynone cycloisomerization to provide a glycal and its subsequent stereoselective hydroboration to deliver the requisite stereochemistry at C(33) and C(34) centers is documented.

Efforts at finding out a strategy for the synthesis of the densely hydroxylated C(27){\textendash}C(48) fragment of aflastatin A have been described. The initial studies dealing with alkyne{\textendash}epoxide coupling using a linear polyol epoxide resulted in a debenzylative cycloetherification leading to a C-arabinoside derivative. This problem has been addressed by applying an epoxide pendant on a furanosyl unit. With the model alkyne, the epoxide{\textendash}alkyne coupling proceeded smoothly. Subsequently, following a sequence of [Pd]-mediated alkynone cycloisomerization/stereoselective hydroboration{\textendash}oxidation, the synthesis of the central C(27){\textendash}C(38) fragment has been executed. When employed, the original C(33){\textendash}C(48) alkyne, the coupling and the cycloisomerizations are facile. However, the resulting glycals are unstable, thus warranting a revision in our approach.
