Epub 2023 Jun 2.ABSTRACTAn oxidative rearrangement has been established that enables a cucurbitane-to-lanostane type rearrangement that is counter to known biomimetic transformations that proceed in an opposite direction by way of a lanostane-to-cucurbitane transformation. Here, an oxidative dearomatization/Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement with a substrate bearing the characteristic cucurbitane triad of quaternary centers at C9, C13 and C14, and possessing an alkene at C11-C12, proceeds in a manner that selectively shifts the methyl group at C9 to C10 in con...

The Analysis of Two Distinct Strategies toward the Enantioselective Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Gelsenicine
Tetrahedron. 2023 Mar 21;134:133278. doi: 10.1016/j.tet.2023.133278. Epub 2023 Jan 21.ABSTRACTA full account of a formal enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-gelsenicine is described. Separate strategies based on catalytic cycloisomerization as the central step are considered. One plan involves chirality transfer from enantioenriched substrates, while the other employs asymmetric catalysis. The chirality transfer strategy is less effective, while in the latter, phosphoramidite- and bisphosphine-gold complexes are tested and ultimately provide a key intermediate in high enantiopurity in our Gelsemium alkaloid syntheses.P...

Epub 2023 Feb 23.ABSTRACTThe design, synthesis and antiribosomal and antibacterial activity of two novel glycosides of the aminoglycoside antibiotic paromomycin are described. The first carries of 4-amino-4-deoxy-β-D-xylopyranosyl moiety at the paromomycin 4'-position and is approximately two-fold more active than the corresponding β-D-xylopyranosyl derivative. The second is a 4'-(β-D-xylopyranosylthio) derivative of 4'-deoxyparomomycin that is unexpectedly less active than the simple β-D-xylopyranosyl derivative, perhaps because of the insertion of th...
