The uncommon jasmone derivatives dehydrojasmone, isojasmol, and isojasmyl acetate, floral scent compounds from night-blooming Araceae, were synthesized in a scalable synthesis employing conjugate addition with a selenoacetal as the key step. The stereoselective strategy with subsequent enzymatic kinetic resolution allowed determining the absolute configuration of the natural compounds by GC on a chiral phase. The homoterpene (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatrien-5-yl acetate, another uncommon scent compound, was obtained by α-regioselective aldehyde prenylation. The biological activities of dehydrojasmone and isojasmol were investigated in field assays, showing that these unique volatiles are able to selectively attract specific cyclocephaline scarab beetle pollinators.

The development of a multigram synthesis of 3-exo-isopropylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-endo-amine hydrochloride (1) (also known as BRD4780 and AGN-192403) is described. The process involves protection of the amine as 4-nitrobenzyl carbamate, pNZ, which enables chiral SFC chromatography. The absolute configuration (AC) of the individual enantiomers has been determined by Mosher's amide method, VCD spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. We highlight the VCD approach as a rapid and effective means of AC determination that can be deployed directly on the target compounds.
Studies toward norzoanthamine: Ireland–Claisen rearrangements of α,β-unsaturated esters in a stereocontrolled synthesis of trans-fused 2-cyclohexen-1-ones

The enantiocontrolled preparation of the trans-fused ABC ring system of norzoanthamine is described. The synthesis strategy has incorporated studies of Ireland–Claisen rearrangements of esters derived from 3,3-dimethylacrylic acid. Stereocontrol results from competing chair- and boat-like transition states. Introduction of a nitroalkene by application of a modified Henry reaction facilitates an intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition for an effective and simple transformation to the desired conjugated decalone. A fully functionalized AB ring system leads to the cyclization of the trans-fused cyclohexenone to complete the ABC system via ring-closing metathesis.
