Total Synthesis Of (+/-)-Goniomitine Via A Formal Nitrile/Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropane [3 + 2] Cyclization., Christian L Morales, Brian L Pagenkopf
Total Synthesis Of (+/-)-Goniomitine Via A Formal Nitrile/Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropane [3 + 2] Cyclization., Christian L Morales, Brian L Pagenkopf
Chemistry Publications
The total synthesis of (+/-)-goniomitine has been accomplished in 17 linear steps with 5.2% overall yield starting from commercially available delta-valerolactam. A synthetic highlight includes the first application of a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition between a highly functionalized nitrile and a donor-acceptor cyclopropane to prepare an indole nucleus. The use of a microwave reactor is shown to greatly improve the reaction times for two steps.

First Total Synthesis And Structural Reassignment Of (-)-Aplysiallene., Jian Wang, Brian L Pagenkopf
Chemistry Publications
The first total synthesis of (-)-aplysiallene has been completed in 16 steps and features a key sequential Mukaiyama aerobic oxidative cyclization to prepare the fused bis-THF core. The original stereochemical assignment has been revised as shown.
