A modular, 18-step total synthesis of hyperforin is described. The natural product was quickly accessed using latent symmetry elements, whereby a group-selective, Lewis acid-catalyzed epoxide-opening cascade cyclization was used to furnish the bicyclo[3.3.1]-nonane core and set two key quaternary stereocenters.

Unmated female or male cabbage looper moths, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner), were attracted more often in a flight tunnel to a cage with moths of the opposite sex and a bouquet of cotton foliage. Increased sexual attractiveness of females with plants may be a result of stimulation of pheromone release in response to plant odor, since more males were attracted when odor of cotton foliage was passed over females than when odor of females was passed over cotton foliage before venting into the flight tunnel. Increased sexual attractiveness of males with plants is due in part to host odor enhancement of female attraction to male pheromone, since more females were attracted to synthetic male pheromone (a blend of enantiomers of linalool and isomers of cresol) and a cotton leaf extract than were attracted to male pheromone alone. A short synthesis procedure was developed for (S)-(+)-linalool, the major component of the male sex pheromone, isolated from hair pencils, used in these tests.

When inhibitors of enzymes that utilize isoprenoid pyrophosphates are based on the natural substrates, a significant challenge can be to achieve selective inhibition of a specific enzyme. One element in the design process is the stereochemistry of the isoprenoid olefins. We recently reported preparation of a series of isoprenoid triazoles as potential inhibitors of geranylgeranyl transferase II but these compounds were obtained as a mixture of olefin isomers. We now have accomplished the stereoselective synthesis of these triazoles through the use of epoxy azides for the cycloaddition reaction followed by regeneration of the desired olefin. Both geranyl and neryl derivatives have been prepared as single olefin isomers through parallel reaction sequences. The products were assayed against multiple enzymes as well as in cell culture studies and surprisingly a Z-olefin isomer was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase.

Novel Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,3-Butadien-2-ylmethanols via Tandem Alkylbromide-epoxide Vinylations Using Dimethylsulfonium Methylide

The treatment of chiral trans-disubstituted and trisubstituted 2,3-epoxy-1-bromides with an excess of dimethylsulfonium methylide 1 affords the corresponding 1,3-butadien-2-ylmethanols in good to excellent yields via a double one-carbon homologation.

The e.s.r. spectra derived from 7-bromo-5,6-epoxyheptene derivatives such as epoxygeranyl bromide (7) showed that the main free radicalintermediates were tetrahydrofuranylmethyl radicals (11), formed by ring opening of the epoxide and subsequent exocyclisation of the unsaturated alkoxylradicals. The 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl methyl radicals (12) were also formed via a double cyclisation. Products
