    Birch reduction of aromatic ethers is well-known to afford alicyclic compounds such as cyclohexenones and cyclohexadienes. Oxidation of phenols also affords alicyclic ones such as cyclohexadienones in addition to oxidative coupling products. Mainly, we describe herein phenolic oxidation giving alicyclic compounds, from which a number of bioactive natural products have been synthesized

    Anthracycline antibiotics are important antitumor agents in clinical use and much attention has been paid to the synthesis of these antibiotics and related compounds. In this article, authors explain new and facile cycloadditions of homophthalic anhydrides and application of these reactions to highly regiospecific syntheses of naturally occurring anthracycline antibiotics and related anthracyclines. This review contains the following items with 57 references; [1] Cycloaddition of homophthalic anhydrides; a) thermal cycloaddition, b) strong base-induced cycloaddition. [2] Synthesis of anthracyclines; a) 4-demethoxydaunomycin and daunomycin, b) 11-deoxydaunomycin, c) adriamycin-type anthracycline, d) optically active anthracyclinone, e) amino sugars. [3] Synthesis of D-ring heteroaromatic analogues of anthracyclines.

    A variety of Nacyl-α-amino acids are synthesized from aldehyde and amide via cobalt catalyzed amido-carbonylation (Wakamatsu) reaction. The reaction proceeds under exactly the same conditions as used for the hydroformylation (Oxo) reaction. So, olefins, alcohols, epoxides and halides which give aldehydes under the reaction conditions can be satisfactorily used instead of aldehydes. When acetals are used as starting materials, N-acyl-α-amino esters are obtained. The intramolecular amido-carbonylation provides a convenient route to cyclic α-amino acids or esters. Furthermore, N-acyl-α-amino esters are synthesized from N-acylamines through anodic oxidation followed by amido-carbonylation with high efficiency. By utilizing the methodology, a highly stereoselective synthesis of teneraic acid 14 was achieved. Possible mechanisms for these new processes are discussed in detail.

    Proteins can be modified by chemically binding synthetic macromolecules to the surface of the molecule. This can counter some of the drawbacks of the native proteins and improves properties which could be important in their use as protein drugs and/or catalysts in bioreactors. The most difficult problem is endowing delicate proteins with suitable new properties by chemical modification without causing any loss of their functions. The modified enzymes are soluble in organic solvents and exhibit high enzymic activities in those organic solvents. Modified hydrolytic enzymes catalyzed the reverse reaction of hydrolysis in organic solvents formation of acid-amide bonds by modified chymotrypsin and ester synthesis and ester exchange reactions by modified lipase. Modified catalase and modified peroxidase efficiently catalyse their respective reactions in organic solvents. The results of this research indicate great potential for applications in the fields of biotechnology and enzymology.

    Methano-bridged bisdehydro [18] -, - [20] -, - [22] -, - [24] -, - [26] -, - [28] -, - [30] -, - [32] -, - [34] -, and - [38] annulenes have been synthesized by the Witting reaction between 1, 6-diformylcycloheptatriene or its vinylogous dialdehydes and (Z) -3-methl- or -t-butyl-2-penten-4-ynyltriphenylphosphonium bromide, followed by oxidative coupling with copper (II) acetate in pyridine. Bisdehydro [13] -, - [15] -, - [17] -, - [19] -, - [21] -, - [23] -, and -[25] annulenones have been synthesized by aldol condensation of (Z) -3-methyl-2-penten-4-ynal or its vinylogous aldehydes with the methyl ketones derived from the aldehydes, followed by oxidative coupling of the resulting acyclic ketones. Bisdehydroaza [14] -, - [16] -, - [18] -, - [20] -, and - [22] annulenes have been synthesized by the Beckmann rearrangement of the oximes from the annulenones, followed by exhaustive alkylation of the resulting lactams. Pentafulvalenes, heptafulvalenes, and fulvenes consisting of large-ring were derived from the annulenones. The properties of these macrocylic conjugated compounds are discussed on the basis of 1H NMR and electronic spectra.
