The biosynthetic relationship between illudol (379) and fomannosin (380) has inspired Semmelhack and co-workers184-185 to a beautifully constructed synthesis of the two natural products via the common intermediate (378) (Schemes 45 and 46). This tricyclic compound (378) was obtained by a Diels-Alder reaction between (376) and the cyclobutene derivative (377). Another photochemically-based route (Scheme 47) has been used to obtain protoillud-7-ene (381) and several oxygenated derivatives.186... 

Constructive synthesis incorporates the starting material in the target product. 

A condensation reaction is, therefore, caused due to the combination of two or more molecules to result into the formation of a new molecule with the elimination of a simple molecule, for instance water. In general, the carbonyl compounds undergo condensation reactions initially by the process of addition , and then followed by elimination, usually carried out under basic conditions. In fact, the condensation reactions are specifically of immense utility for the ultimate construction (synthesis) of a complex compound starting from rather simpler organic compounds. 

The following notations were used for constructing synthesis trees ... 

The proofs-as-programs approach to program synthesis—also classified as constructive synthesis—is based on the Curry-Howard isomorphism [Howard 80], which states that there is a one-to-one relationship between a (constructive) proof of an existence theorem and a program that actually computes witnesses of the existentially quantified variables of the theorem. Given a specification in the functional form ... 

Various systems exist for doing constructive synthesis of logic programs. We simply enumerate them here, but give no insights into their underlying mechanisms, nor do we illustrate them on sample syntheses. 

In Chapter 2, we survey the use of deductive inference in automatic programming. Axiomatic specifications are expected to be complete and non-ambiguous, but are usually also quite lengthy and artificial. Deductive synthesis from axiomatic specifications can be classified into transformational synthesis, proofs-as-programs synthesis (or constructive synthesis), and schema-guided synthesis. We survey the achievements of deductive synthesis of LISP functions and Prolog predicates. 

We must also deprioritize simple oxidation reactions where there is no added pronucleophile, such as oxidations at mildly activated positions without attendant coupling processes, since a major advantage of CDC reactions is that we can combine pronucleophiles and proelectrophiles clearly some of these studies provide mechanistic information as to the composite steps. While much of the related chemistiy is relevant to Af-demethylation reactions, " oxidative dehalogenations or other processes we do not cover those studies here since they are not aimed at (constructive) synthesis, which is the primary focus of CDC reactions.

Hgure 1.1 Synthesis is the creation of a process to transform feed streams into product streams. Simulation predicts how it would behave if it was constructed. 

Hendrickson (14,15] concentrated mainly on C-C bond-forming reactions because the construction of the carbon atom skeleton is the major task in the synthesis of complex organic compounds. Each carbon atom is classified according to which kind of atoms are bonded to it and what kind of bonds ([Pg.184]

The chemical synthesis of carbon-containing molecules has been a very important field of scientific work and endeavor for over a centuiy However, the subject is still far aw ay from being fully developed. One of the major reasons for this is the almost unlimited number of organic structures which can exist as discrete compounds. On the other hand there has been a continuing growth in the ability of chemists to construct increasingly complex molecules. 

The wM-diacetate 363 can be transformed into either enantiomer of the 4-substituted 2-cyclohexen-l-ol 364 via the enzymatic hydrolysis. By changing the relative reactivity of the allylic leaving groups (acetate and the more reactive carbonate), either enantiomer of 4-substituted cyclohexenyl acetate is accessible by choice. Then the enantioselective synthesis of (7 )- and (S)-5-substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes 365 and 367 can be achieved. The Pd(II)-cat-alyzed acetoxylactonization of the diene acids affords the lactones 366 and 368 of different stereochemistry[310]. The tropane alkaloid skeletons 370 and 371 have been constructed based on this chemoselective Pd-catalyzed reactions of 6-benzyloxy-l,3-cycloheptadiene (369)[311]. 

Synthesis of camptothecin (163) is another example[133]. The iboga alkaloid analog 164 has been synthesized smoothly by the intramolecular coupling of iodoindole and unsaturated ester to form an eight-membered ring. Af-Methyl protection of the indole is important for a smooth reaction[134]. An efficient construction of the multifunctionalized skeleton 165 of congeners of FR900482 has been achieved[135]. 

Asymmetric cyclization using chiral ligands has been studied. After early attempts[142-144], satisfactory optical yields have been obtained. The hexahy-dropyrrolo[2,3-6]indole 176 has been constructed by the intramolecular Heck reaction and hydroaryiation[145]. The asymmetric cyclization of the enamide 174 using (S j-BINAP affords predominantly (98 2) the ( )-enoxysilane stereoisomer of the oxindole product, hydrolysis of which provides the ( l-oxindole aldehyde 175 in 84% yield and 95% ec. and total synthesis of (-)-physostig-mine (176) has been achieved[146]. 

A interesting and useful reaetion is the intramolecular polycyclization reaction of polyalkenes by tandem or domino insertions of alkenes to give polycyclic compounds[l 38]. In the tandem cyclization. an intermediate in many cases is a neopentylpalladium formed by the insertion of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, which has no possibility of /3-elimination. The key step in the total synthesis of scopadulcic acid is the Pd-catalyzed construction of the tricyclic system 202 containing the bicyclo[3.2. Ijoctane substructure. The single tricyclic product 202 was obtained in 82% yield from 201 [20,164). The benzyl chloride 203 undergoes oxidative addition and alkene insertion. Formation of the spiro compound 204 by the intramolecular double insertion of alkenes is an exam-ple[165]. 

In a more elaborate and specific synthesis, the terpenoid indole skeleton found in haplaindole G, which is isolated from a blue-green alga, was constructed by addition of a nucleophilic formyl equivalent to enone 6.5A. Cyelization and aromatization to the indole 6.6B followed Hg -catalysed unmasking of the aldehyde group[6]. 

This category corresponds to the construction of the carbocyclic ring by 2 + 4 cycloaddition with pyrrole-2,3-quinodimethane intermediates. Such reactions can be particularly useful in the synthesis of 5,6-disubstituted indoles. Although there are a few cases where a pyrrolequinodimethane intermediate is generated, the most useful procedures involve more stable surrogates. Both 1,5-di-hydropyrano[3,4-b]pyrrol-5(lf/)-ones[l] and l,6-dihyropyrano[4,3-b]pyrrol-6-(in)-ones[2] can serve as pyrrole-2,3-quinodimethane equivalents. The adducts undergo elimination of CO2. 

Besides being useful precursors to pyrroles pyridine-2-ones -4-ones, -4-thiones. and -4-imines 4-alkylidene-dihydropyridines thiophenes 1,2,4-triazoles thiapyrane-2-thiones, isoquinoline-3-ones isoben-zothiophenes and 4-mercaptoimidazolium hydroxide inner salts, mesoionic thiazoles are potentially useful in the construction of molecules with herbicidic (39). central nerve stimulating, and antiinflammatory properties (40,41). Application in dye synthesis has likewise been reported (42).
