The synthesis of anthracyclinones-ii : The synthesis of 7,9-bisdeoxycarminomycinone and -daunomycinone

7,9-Bisdeoxycarminomycinone has been synthesised from 5-hydroxyquinizarin by two annelation routes involving nitronate addition to C-2 and aldol condensation at C-3. 4-Demethoxy-7,9-bisdeoxydaunomycinone has been synthesised efficiently by similar methods.     

The synthesis of zinniol

Zinniol 10, 3 - methoxy - 4 -methyl - 5 (3 - methyl - 2 - butenyloxy) - 1,2 - benzenedimethanol, a metabolite isolated from the pathogenic fungus Alternaria zinniae, has been synthesised.     

The synthesis of metacycloprodigionsin

Metacycloprodigiosin 1, a tripyrrole pigment isolated from Streptomyces longisporus ruber, has been synthesized by condensation of the meta-fused pyrrole 2, prepared from cyclododecanone, with the known methoxybipyrrole aldehyde precursor 3.     

The synthesis of vinylpyrrolidone

Summary The synthesis of vinylpyrrolidone from succinic acid was accomplished without the use of acetylene or increased pressure.     

The synthesis of pentaprismane

The first synthesis of pentaprismane, hexacyclo[4.4.0.0^2,5.0^3,9.0^4,8.0^7,10]decane, is presented with full experimental details. A new and practical synthesis for homopentaprismanone is developed as is methodology for the functionalization of a bridgehead position α to the carbonyl group of this cage compound. The latter uses a mixed acyloin reductive coupling. Favorakii contraction of the bridgehead functionalized homopentaprismanone is employed to enter the pentaprismane ring system. A brief discussion is given of th́e geometry of pentaprismane, of its behavior relative to cubane, and of the future of prismane chemistry.

The synthesis of thienocycloheptenoindoles

A synthesis of the methylthieno[3,2-c]cyclohepteno[b]indole 7 from 2-methylthieno[3,2-b]cycloheptanone 3 is described. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare the isomeric thienocycloheptenoindole system present in formula 2 , from the dihydrobenzothiophenone 8 , and from derivatives of 5-(2-thienyl)-4-oxopentanoic acid, 17 and 18 , and from N-benzylcycloheptindol-1-one 22 were unsuccessful. The preparation of 4,5-dihydro-2-phenyl-1-thienylmethyl-3H-pyridazin-3-one 20 and of the 5-aminopyrazole 21 are reported.     

The synthesis of berberastine

The structure of berberastine iodide (1a) has been confirmed by a synthesis of its racemate. The key intermediate is the 7,8-dimethoxy-3-arylisoquinoline derivative (3a) and several methods for its formation were studied.
