Total Synthesis of (−)-Penifulvin A, an Insecticide with a Dioxafenestrane Skeleton
Abstract
Herein we report the first total synthesis of Penifulvin A, a sesquiterpenoid with a novel dioxa-fenestrane structure. Penifulvin A is a potent insecticide against the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda which causes enormous damage in the US by consuming foliage of a variety of field crops. A five-step racemic and an eight-step enantioselective route to the natural product and the determination of its absolute configuration are described. The key step involves a meta-photocycloaddition, giving rapid access to the carbon skeleton of penifulvin A in a stereoselective fashion. Finally an oxidation cascade leads to the natural product. The synthetic route is free from protecting groups, scalable, and flexible so that a variety of analogues, among them penifulvins B−E, should be available for performing SAR tests in the insecticidal role.

Synthesis of Uniform Ferrimagnetic Magnetite Nanocubes
Abstract
We synthesized uniform ferrimagnetic magnetite nanocubes in the size range from 20 to 160 nm. The magnetic property of the nanocubes was characterized, and magnetic separation of the histidine-tagged protein was demonstrated.

Supercritical Processing as a Route to High Internal Surface Areas and Permanent Microporosity in Metal−Organic Framework Materials
Abstract
Careful processing of four representative metal−organic framework (MOF) materials with liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide (ScD) leads to substantial, or in some cases spectacular (up to 1200%), increases in gas-accessible surface area. Maximization of surface area is key to the optimization of MOFs for many potential applications. Preliminary evidence points to inhibition of mesopore collapse, and therefore micropore accessibility, as the basis for the extraordinarily efficacious outcome of ScD-based activation.
