The opening of an epoxide with alkyne (use of Birch reduction for the selective construction of E-pent-3-enyl group) and C-allylation have been used to introduce the pendant alkenyl side chains. Initial attempts to execute an alternative to Tang's route comprising a prior installation of the bromoallene unit via bromoetherification and subsequent S(N)2 displacement are unsuccessful. To overcome this, an alternative approach was developed to arrive at Deacetylkumausyne (another natural product that has been synthesized and characterized by Tang's group). Thus, this overall exercise has culminated in a formal total synthesis of (-)-kumausallene. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Current antifungal armoury includes very few effective drugs like Amphotericin B; new generation azoles, including voriconazole and posaconazole; echinocandins like caspofungin and micafungin to name a few. Azole class of antifungals which target the fungal cell membrane are the first choice of treatment for many years because of their effectiveness. As the fungal cell membrane is predominantly made up of sterols, glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, the role of lipids in pathogenesis and target identification for improved therapeutics were largely pursued by researchers during the last few years. Present review focuses on cell membrane as an antifungal target with emphasis on membrane biogenesis, structure and function of cell membrane, cell membrane inhibitors, screening assays, recent advances and future prospects.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.156</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phatake, Ravindra S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mullapudi, Venkannababu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wakchaure, Vivek C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramana, Chepuri V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fluoride-mediated dephosphonylation of alpha-diazo-beta-carbonyl phosphonates</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organic Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">372-375</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The possibility of fluoride-mediated selective dephosphonylation of alpha-diazo-beta-carbonyl phosphonates such as the Ohira-Bestmann reagent has been proposed and executed.
