A nice bit of metathesis and use of symmetry in this latest CW article, found in this month’s Chemistry World.  The original paper is here; also worth reading is a ‘core-synthesis’ by Chada Raji Reddy, which just dropped into Org. Lett.

McDonald, Robles. Org. Lett., 2009, ASAP. DOI: 10.1021/ol902365n. It’s been a little while, but there’s been nothing too exciting (total synthesis-wise) in JACS or ACIEE.  However, a quick glance in Org. Lett. produced a veritable cornucopia of...

Baran, Maimone, Shi, Ashida. JACS, 2009, ASAP. DOI: 10.1021/ja908194b. Yep, it’s done.  Surprised?  You shouldn’t be, not after the Angewandte published last year, which was tantalisingly close to the natural product.  For the uninitiated,...
