SummaryPart I • A new route to azaspirane core structure of FR901483 was developed via a • nucleophilic addition to an acyliminium ion followed by a ring-closing metathesis • Lactone-lactam rearrangement gave the azatricyclic core structure of FR901483 • 1-Ethylallylcarbamate protecting group and its cleavage was developed • Allylzinc reagent was developed and it was successfully added to the chiral • imine, however with lack of diastereoselectivitythat persuaded us to divert • our initial studies toward (-)-FR901483
II. Toward the Total Synthesis of Lundurines A-CIsolation and Biological Activity • Isolated in 1995 from the leaf extract of the Borneo species Kopsiatenuis • Biological studies were reported in 2004 • Lundurine B is cytotoxic against B16 melanoma cells • (in vitro); 2.8 µg/mL • - Unique hexacyclic core containing dihydroindole-cyclopropane moiety • - No reported total syntheses to date Kam, T.

SummaryPart II • Ugi reactions with cyclic ketones appeared to give better results than acyclic • Successful route to the RCM precursor via Ugi was developed; however, the • low yielding Ugi step steered us to develop another route • Bisalkylation of an imine, reductive amination and acylation/alkylation provided • an efficient route to the RCM precursors • Preliminary experiments to cyclize 5- and 8-membered rings have been • accomplished and further studies are in progress
