The first total synthesis of bussealin E, a natural product with a unique cycloheptadibenzofuran scaffold, is reported. A strategy inspired by a proposed biosynthesis was employed whereby a diphenylpropane derivative underwent an oxidative phenolic coupling to forge the tetracyclic ring system. The synthesis of the diphenylpropane featured a key sp2-sp3 Hiyama coupling between a vinyldisiloxane and a benzylic bromide.

(±)-Megistophylline I (1), carrying a dienone residue in the acridone framework, was synthesized using the Claisen rearrangement to introduce a prenyl group as a key step.

This paper describes the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of 2,5-diaryltetrahydrofurans, as specific and potent antagonists at the rabbit washed platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor. The methoxyl groups in the known PAF antagonist L-652,731 were replaced with functional groups present in PAF and in the 'PAF-like' antagonists. Activity was generally retained or enhanced when one aryl ring in L-652,731 was elaborated; however incorporation of these functional groups into both of the aryl rings greatly reduced or abolished activity. These results are discussed in relation to a putative model for the PAF receptor.
