EBC‐23, 24, 25, 72, 73, 75 and 76 were isolated from the fruit of Cinnamomum laubatii (family Lauraceae) in the Australiantropicalrainforests. EBC‐23 (1) was synthesized stereoselectively, in nine linear steps in 8 % overall yield, to confirm the reported relative stereochemistry and determine the absolute stereochemistry. Key to the total synthesis was a series of Tietze–Smith linchpin reactions
The stereoselective synthesis of two naturally occurring bioactive spiroacetals, aculeatins A and B has been accomplished using 1-tetradecanal as the starting material. The sequence introduces diastereoselective iodine-induced electrophilic cyclization and ring opening of epoxide with 1,3-dithiane as the key steps. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
