A new formal total synthesis of (+)-6-oxo-3, 4, 4a, 5-tetrahydro-3-hydroxy-2, 2-dimenthylnaphtho-1, 2-pyran (1) which has been known to have bactericidal, bacteriostatic, fungicidal, fungistatic activities against Staphylococcus aureus and other microorganism, is described. The key reaction involves enantioselective prenylation of .alpha.-tetralone via chiral lithioenamine.

A formal total synthesis of aliskiren was accomplished. A key in our synthesis was to use the symmetric ciscisoid-cis-bis-lactone 3' as a precursor, which was prepared from D-tartrate diester. Appending the end groups and functional group transformations completed the synthesis.

Natural histrionicotoxin, a substance isolated from the skins of the "arrow poison frog" and its fully hydrogenated derivative, perhydrohistrionicotoxin (pHTX), have been the subject of synthetic investigation because of their important neurophysiological activity and a unique framework. In this work, we could obtained the appropriately functionalized spiropiperidine compound as a formal precursor of perhydrohistrionicotoxin. An important feature of this synthesis is the creation of a stereogenic center by using Ireland-Claisen Rearrangement, and Ring-Closing Metathesis (RCM).sis (RCM).
