β¦ Synopsis
The first total synthesis of achaetolide, a 10-membered macrolactone was achieved using Mitsunobu reaction and Grubbs ring-closing metathesis reaction as the key steps for ring construction. The desired stereo centres were generated by Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution, dihydroxylation and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reactions.

All the four possible stereoisomers of mueggelone, an inhibitor of fish development, were efficiently synthesized in a stereoselective manner starting from D-arabinose, and the absolute configuration was determined to be 9R,12S,13S.
The first total synthesis of cryptomisrine, a novel indolo[3,2-b]quinoline dimeric alkaloid from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, is reported. The approach is based on a convergent methodology which involves a new halogen-dance reaction in quinoline series connected to a cross-coupling reaction.
