SummaryPart I

• A new route to azaspirane core structure of FR901483 was developed via a nucleophilic addition to an acyl iminium 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 diastereoselectivity that persuaded us to divert our initial studies toward (-)-FR901483

- Isolated in 1995 from the leaf extract of the Borneo species Kopsia tenuis - 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

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
