this reaction; syn-products were formed from the E-alkenes, while the Z-isomers gave anti-target materials, both with high diastereoselectivities. This study featured asymmetric catalysis to elaborate opticallyactive substrates into more stereochemically complex chirons; we suggest that the approach used, optimization of stereocontrol by varying peripheral aspects of the substrate, tends to be easier

The structures and absolute configurations of the cytokinins 1'-methylzeatin and its 9-riboside, both secreted by Pseudomonas syringae pv savastanoi, have been established as [R-(E)]-2-methyl-4-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)-2-penten-1-ol[(1'R)-2] and [R-(E)]-N-(4-hydroxy-1, 3-dimethyl-2-butenyl)adenosine [(1''R)-4], respectively, as a result of the chiral syntheses of (1'R)- and (1'S)-1'-methylzeatins [(1'R)-2 and (1'S)-2] and of their 9-β-D-ribofuranosides [(1''R)-4 and (1''S)-4] from D- and L-alanines. These zeatin derivatives were tested for cytokinin activity in the tobacco callus and the lettuce seed germination bioassays. The "natural" enantiomer (1'R)-2 was found to be as active as zeatin (1) itself and more active than its 9-riboside [(1''R)-4]. The "unnatural" enantiomer (1'S)-2 and its 9-riboside [(1''S)-4] were less active than the corresponding natural cytokinins, (1'R)-2 and (1''R)-4, respectively.

The synthesis of the C-26-C-32 oxazole fragment 4 and its C-32 epimer 20 of serine/threonine protein phosphatase PP1 and PP2A inhibitor calyculin C is presented. The syn methyl arrangement in 4 was established through cyclic stereocontrol. Several methods for oxidizing the intermediate oxazolines 18 and 19 to the finished oxazole fragments were explored. The best results were obtained with oxidations proceeding through the corresponding ester enolate when the carbamate NH side chain was temporarily protected with a TMS group, or with CuBr2/DBU/HMTA-based oxidations. The finished oxazole fragment 4 was obtained in 21% overall yield, starting from Boc-D-alaninal.

An efficient and highly stereocontrolled method for the construction of the natural syn stereochemistry at C30 and C32 in the calyculin C oxazole fragment has been devised starting from alanine. The title fragment itself is accessible in seven steps from N-BOC-alaninal.
