In 2008, (+)-aspergillide C, a structurally novel marine metabolite bearing a 14-membered macrolactone around a 2,6-dihydropyran core, was isolated from a marine-derived fungus, Aspergillus ostianus. In a biological assay, (+)-aspergillide C displayed promising anticancer activity (LD50=2.0μg/ml) against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells (L1210). Due to its notable biological activity and interesting architecture, we viewed aspergillide C as an attractive synthetic target. Moreover, the aspergillide scaffold could lend itself to diverse structural modifications in projected syntheses of biologically active congeners. In this account, we describe our enantioselective approach to aspergillide C from (S)-(−)-glyceraldehyde acetonide and the Danishefsky–Kitahara diene. Strategic transformations include a heterocyclocondensation reaction, a Ferrier-type addition, and a palladium-catalyzed oxidative lactonization to set key stereocenters within the dihydropyran core, followed by fragment coupling through an (E)-selective Julia–Kocienski olefination.

Essential Laboratory Manual for General, Organic and Biological Chemistry
The main objective in writing this text is to make the study of chemistry an engaging and a positive experience for students by relating the structure and behaviour of matter to real life.
The eText pages look exactly like the printed text, and include powerful interactive and customization functions. This is the product access code card for MasteringChemistry with Pearson eText and does not include the actual bound book.
Health, Environmental, and Green Chemistry Notes throughout the text relate chemistry chapters to real-life topics in health, the environment, and medicine that are interesting and motivating to students.
