An approach towards the synthesis of the fungal pigment xylindein 1 is described. Synthesis of the pyranonaphthoquinone corresponding to one half of the xylindein framework is achieved over 11 steps from 1,2-epoxypentane, utilizing multiple Diels–Alder cycloaddition processes. Methods for self-coupling of dihydroxynaphthoquinones to give extended quinones are explored.

Provided are certain derivatives of amphotericin B (AmB) characterized by reduced toxicity and retained anti-fungal activity. Certain of the derivatives are C16 urea derivatives of AmB. Certain of the derivatives are C3, C5, C8, C9, C11, C13, or C15 deoxy derivatives of AmB. Certain of the derivatives include C3′ or C4′ modifications of the mycosamine appendage of AmB. Also provided are methods of making AmB derivatives of the invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprising AmB derivatives of the invention, and methods of use of AmB derivatives of the invention.
Palladium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of the bis(triflates) of 2′,4-dihydroxybenzophenones afforded 2′,4-diarylbenzophenones. The reactions proceeded with very good site selectivity in favour of the 4-position.
First synthesis of functionalized 5-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenols by regioselective [3+3] cyclocondensations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-aryl-3-silyloxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2-en-1-ones
A variety of functionalized 5-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenols were prepared by the first TiCl4-mediated [3+3] cyclocondensation of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-aryl-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2-en-1-ones.
