Four decades since Mukaiyama's first reports on the successful application of silicon and
boron enolates in directed aldol reactions, the ability of this highly controlled carbon–carbon …

The selective formation of bondings between molecules is one of the major challenges in
organic chemistry, and the so-called aldol reaction is one of the most important for this …

The Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction has evolved in the last years as one of the most
powerful and reliable method for stereocontrolled olefin synthesis. The reaction has become …

A convergent and flexible strategy for the stereoselective total synthesis of the reported
structure of baulamycin A and its congeners has been developed for the first time. Synthetic …

A growing number of complex polyketides, isolated from a variety of marine and terrestrial
sources, present novel scaffolds for the development of cancer therapeutic agents. However …

Abstract Im Laufe der vierzig Jahre, die seit Mukaiyamas ersten Berichten zur Verwendung
von Silicium‐und Borenolaten in gezielten Aldolreaktionen vergangen sind, hat sich diese in …

A facile and mild reduction procedure is reported for the preparation of chiral allylic and
propargyl alcohols in high enantiomeric purity. Under optimized conditions, alkynyl and …

A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of the 18-membered macrolide (+)-concanamycin F,
a potent inhibitor of vacuolar ATPases, is described that proceeds in 5.8% yield over 26 …

The brasilinolides are an architecturally complex family of 32-membered macrolides,
characterised by potent immunosuppressant and antifungal properties, which represent …

An advanced C15− C35 subunit of the chivosazole polyene macrolides was prepared in a
convergent manner, exploiting boron-mediated aldol reactions for the stereocontrolled …
