An asymmetric total synthesis of eicosanoid 4 starting from 2,2- dimethyl-( R)- 1,3- dioxolane-4- carbaldehyde is described. The key steps involved for the synthesis include modified Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation, stereoselective reduction, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and Nozaki- Hiyama- Kishi coupling reaction.

2-C-Acetoxymethyl glycal derivatives react with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of InCl3 (30 mol \%) to furnish the corresponding 2-C-methylene glycosides in excellent yields and with exclusive alpha-selectivity except for the methyl 2-C-methylene glycosides, which are formed in similar to 2:1 anomeric ratio in favour of the alpha-anomer. The reaction of 2-C-acetoxyglycals with phenols, however, produces the corresponding chiral carbohydrate-derived pyranobenzopyran derivatives via initial Ferrier rearrangement followed by tandem cyclization in excellent yields and moderate to high stereoselectivities in favour of the corresponding 10a-R-pyrano[2,3-b][1]benzopyran derivatives.

An efficient stereoselective synthesis of the C33-C44 fragment of palau{\textquoteright}amide is described using a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, a regioselective nucleophilic ring opening of the epoxide, a Grignard reaction and a Luche stereoselective reduction of a keto compound as the key steps.

A facile and high yielding synthesis of epi-inositol via stereoselective reduction of a pentaprotected epi-inosose is reported. Extent of stereoselectivity during the hydride reduction appears to depend on the ability of the substrate to complex with metal ions in the reducing agent. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
