Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is a well-known reaction utilized for the synthesis of lactones and
ester functionalities from ketones. Chiral lactones can be synthesized from chiral or racemic …

Celastraceae plant extracts have been widely used as traditional medicines and insecticides
in China and South America. More recently, the extracts from Celastraceae plants have …

Euonymine (1) and euonyminol octaacetate (2) share the core structure of euonyminol (3),
the most hydroxylated member of the dihydro-β-agarofuran family. In 2, eight of the nine …

Tetrodotoxin and congeners are specific voltage-gated sodium channel blockers that exhibit
remarkable anesthetic and analgesic effects. Here, we present a scalable asymmetric …

We detail the development of the first enantioselective synthetic route to euonyminol (1), the
most heavily oxidized member of the dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpenes and the nucleus …

We report a reduction‐condensation‐1, 3‐dipolar cycloaddition sequence to create C2‐C3
contiguous stereogenic centers in indoline derivatives. This method includes a one‐pot …

We report the first total synthesis of an antimycobacterial natural product oxazinin A that
takes advantage of a multi‐component cascade reaction of anthranilic acid and a precursor …

A novel and flexible approach for the stereo‐controlled synthesis of vicinal tertiary carbinols
is reported. The developed strategy featured a highly diastereoselective singlet‐oxygen …

Herein, we describe an attempted dearomative oxidation strategy toward the core
carbocyclic structure of the dihydro-β-agarofuran natural products. Beginning with a …

The synthesis of cyclopropanes by the cyclization of allylic diazoesters is well-known. In
prior studies toward the sesquiterpenoid euonyminol, we attempted to carry out an …
