Abstract:
BackgroundThe National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends the use of spirometry and measuring the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) as part of the diagnostic work-up for children with suspected asthma, and spirometry for asthma monitoring, across all care settings. However, the feasibility and acceptability of these tests within primary care are not known.AimTo investigate the feasibility, acceptability, training, and capacity requirements of performing spirometry and FeNO testing in children managed for asthma in UK primary care.Design and settingProspective observational study involving 10 general practices in the East Midlands, UK, and 612 children between 2016 and 2017.MethodTraining and support to perform spirometry and FeNO in children aged 5 to 16 years were provided to participating practices. Children on the practice’s asthma registers, and those with suspected asthma, were invited for a routine asthma review. Time for general practice staff to achieve competencies in performing and/or interpreting both tests, time to perform the tests, number of children able to perform the tests, and feedback on acceptability were recorded.ResultsA total of 27 general practice staff were trained in a mean time of 10.3 (standard deviation 2.7) hours. Usable spirometry and FeNO results were obtained in 575 (94%) and 472 (77%) children respectively. Spirometry is achievable in the majority of children aged ≥5 years, and FeNO in children aged ≥7 years. All of the staff and 97% of families surveyed provided positive feedback for the tests.ConclusionAfter training, general practice staff obtained quality spirometry and FeNO data from most children tested. Testing was acceptable to staff and families. The majority of general practice staff reported that spirometry helped them to manage children’s asthma better.

Abstract:
Aim and Objective: Flap endonuclease-1 (FEN1) plays a central role in DNA replication and DNA damage repair process. In mammals, FEN1 functional sites variation is related to cancer and chronic inflammation, and supports the role of FEN1 as a tumor suppressor. However, FEN1 is overexpressed in multiple types of cancer cells and is associated with drug resistance, supporting its role as an oncogene. Hence, it is vital to explore the multi-functions of FEN1 in normal cell metabolic process. This study was undertaken to examine how the gene expression profile changes when FEN1 is downregulated in 293T cells. Materials and Methods: Using the RNA sequencing and real-time PCR approaches, the transcript expression profile of FEN1 knockdown HEK293T cells have been detected for the next step evaluation, analyzation, and validation. Results: Our results confirmed that FEN1 is important for cell viability. We showed that when FEN1 downregulation led to the interruption of nucleic acids related metabolisms, cell cycle related metabolisms are significantly interrupted. FEN1 may also participate in non-coding RNA processing, ribosome RNA processing, transfer RNA processing, ribosome biogenesis, virus infection and cell morphogenesis. Conclusion: These findings provide insight into how FEN1 nuclease might regulate a wide variety of biological processes, and laid the foundation for understanding the role of other RAD2 family nucleases in cell growth and metabolism.

Abstract:
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a member of the family of structure-specific endonucleases implicated in regulation of DNA damage response and DNA replication. So far, knowledge on the role of FEN1 during viral infections is limited. Previous publications indicated that poxviruses encode a conserved protein that acts in a manner similar to FEN1 to stimulate homologous recombination, double-strand break (DSB) repair and full-size genome formation. Only recently, cellular FEN1 has been identified as a key component for hepatitis B virus cccDNA formation. Here, we report on a novel functional interaction between Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) and the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early protein 1 (IE1). Our results provide evidence that IE1 manipulates FEN1 in an unprecedented manner: we observed that direct IE1 binding does not only enhance FEN1 protein stability but also phosphorylation at serine 187. This correlates with nucleolar exclusion of FEN1 stimulating its DSB-generating gap endonuclease activity. Depletion of FEN1 and inhibition of its enzymatic activity during HCMV infection significantly reduced nascent viral DNA synthesis demonstrating a supportive role for efficient HCMV DNA replication. Furthermore, our results indicate that FEN1 is required for the formation of DSBs during HCMV infection suggesting that IE1 acts as viral activator of FEN1 in order to re-initiate stalled replication forks. In summary, we propose a novel mechanism of viral FEN1 activation to overcome replication fork barriers at difficult-to-replicate sites in viral genomes.

Abstract:
FENs (flap endonucleases) and related FEN-like enzymes [EXO-1 (exonuclease-1), GEN-1 (gap endonuclease 1) and XPG (xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G)] are a family of bivalent-metal-ion-dependent nucleases that catalyse structure-specific hydrolysis of DNA duplex-containing nucleic acid structures during DNA replication, repair and recombination. In the case of FENs, the ability to catalyse reactions on a variety of substrates has been rationalized as a result of combined functional and structural studies. Analyses of FENs also exemplify controversies regarding the two-metal-ion mechanism. However, kinetic studies of T5FEN (bacteriophage T5 FEN) reveal that a two-metal-ion-like mechanism for chemical catalysis is plausible. Consideration of the metallobiochemistry and the positioning of substrate in metal-free structures has led to the proposal that the duplex termini of substrates are unpaired in the catalytically active form and that FENs and related enzymes may recognize breathing duplex termini within more complex structures. An outstanding issue in FEN catalysis is the role played by the intermediate (I) domain arch or clamp. It has been proposed that FENs thread the 5′-portion of their substrates through this arch, which is wide enough to accommodate single-stranded, but not double-stranded, DNA. However, FENs exhibit gap endonuclease activity acting upon substrates that have a region of 5′-duplex. Moreover, the action of other FEN family members such as GEN-1, proposed to target Holliday junctions without termini, appears incompatible with a threading mechanism. An alterative is that the I domain is used as a clamp. A future challenge is to clarify the role of this domain in FENs and related enzymes.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Low-sulfate, acidic (approximately pH 4) fens in the Lehstenbach catchment in the Fichtelgebirge mountains in Germany are unusual habitats for sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRPs) that have been postulated to facilitate the retention of sulfur and protons in these ecosystems. Despite the low in situ availability of sulfate (concentration in the soil solution, 20 to 200 μM) and the acidic conditions (soil and soil solution pHs, approximately 4 and 5, respectively), the upper peat layers of the soils from two fens (Schlöppnerbrunnen I and II) of this catchment displayed significant sulfate-reducing capacities. 16S rRNA gene-based oligonucleotide microarray analyses revealed stable diversity patterns for recognized SRPs in the upper 30 cm of both fens. Members of the family “Syntrophobacteraceae” were detected in both fens, while signals specific for the genus Desulfomonile were observed only in soils from Schlöppnerbrunnen I. These results were confirmed and extended by comparative analyses of environmentally retrieved 16S rRNA and dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase (dsrAB) gene sequences; dsrAB sequences from Desulfobacca-like SRPs, which were not identified by microarray analysis, were obtained from both fens. Hypotheses concerning the ecophysiological role of these three SRP groups in the fens were formulated based on the known physiological properties of their cultured relatives. In addition to these recognized SRP lineages, six novel dsrAB types that were phylogenetically unrelated to all known SRPs were detected in the fens. These dsrAB sequences had no features indicative of pseudogenes and likely represent novel, deeply branching, sulfate- or sulfite-reducing prokaryotes that are specialized colonists of low-sulfate habitats.

Abstract:
Architecture can be viewed as a reflection of value placed on life. In colonial Hong Kong, a distinctive Gothic-style castle, Euston, was built by tycoon Eu Tong Sen (1877–1941) as his family's grand residence. Eu was a prominent figure in South China and Southeast Asia and remains a local legend decades after his death. Eu's castle, being built in 1928 and demolished in the 1980s, was and still is one of the most recognizable monuments in the region. Although Eu did not leave behind any autobiography or memoirs, the monumental castle can be regarded as a symbolic manifestation of his life story. The design of the castle is of mixed ancestry—it is a reconciliation of traditional Chinese design based on feng shui (Chinese geomancy) with European architectural elements. The fusion of East-West architectural building elements, as symbolized by the Eu castle, was a significant achievement symbolizing general social and cultural changes spanning more than a century.

Abstract:

The fern family Cystopteridaceae has been a thorn in the side of fern phylogeneticists, on many levels. Until this thesis, its basic existence (as a deeply isolated clade) and composition were unrecognized, hypotheses as to the relationships of its constituents within the broader fern tree-of-life were wildly inconsistent, the relationships of its genera to each other were contested, the species limits within those genera weakly understood, and the relationships among those species unknown. This thesis first establishes the broad evolutionary context for the family, which is that it is the first-diverging branch in Eupolypods II (it is sister to the rest of the eupolypod II clade). Eupolypods II is a large clade, containing nearly a third of extant fern species, making the Cystopteridaceae's position pivotal to a full understanding of fern evolution.

The evolution of the Eupolypods II is marked by an "ancient, rapid radiation" at the base of the clade, which helps to explain the difficulty that this broad group has historically posed to evolutionary biologists. Molecular data from five plastid loci show that Eupolypods II is comprised of 10 deeply divergent lineages, each worthy of recognition at the rank of family: Cystopteridaceae, Rhachidosoraceae, Diplaziopsidaceae, Hemidictyaceae, Aspleniaceae, Thelypteridaceae, Woodsiaceae, Onocleaceae, Blechnaceae, and Athyriaceae. The ancestors of Cystopteridaceae diverged from those of the rest of the clade approximately 100 million years ago, and the family is now comprised of five extant genera: Acystopteris, Cystoathyrium (the only genus for which we lack molecular data--it may be extinct), Cystopteris, Gymnocarpium, and ×Cystocarpium.

Within the family, the relationships of Cystoathyrium are unknown. Acystopteris is sister to Cystopteris, and those two genera, together, are sister to Gymnocarpium. Gymnocarpium is the maternal parent of ×Cystocarpium, so that genus falls within Gymnocarpium in phylogenetic trees based on maternally transmitted loci (i.e., plastid or mitochondrial loci). Plastid data resolve a basal trichotomy in Gymnocarpium, among the G. disjunctum clade, the G. robertianum clade, and core Gymnocarpium. The earliest diverging branch of core Gymnocarpium is the morphologically anomalous G. oyamense, followed by a split that separates G. appalachianum and G. jessoense parvulum (on one side) from G. remotepinnatum and G. jessoense jessoense, on the other. In Acystopteris, the first division surprisingly separates A. taiwaniana (which is frequently treated as a variety of A. japonica) from A. japonica + A. tenuisecta (which are morphologically very distinct from each other).

The evolution of Cystopteris is, as expected, more complex. The first lineage to diverge from the rest of the genus is the one that gave rise to C. montana. The next division, however, is unclear; molecular data infer a trichotomy among the sudetica clade (containing C. sudetica, C. moupinensis, and C. pellucida), the bulbifera clade (containing C. bulbifera and its related allopolyploids C. tennesseensis and C. utahensis), and the C. fragilis complex. Within the C. fragilis complex relationships (and species limits) get particular messy. The diploid species of eastern North America--C. protrusa--is sister to the rest of the complex, but after that point the major named species (including C. fragilis and C. tenuis) cease to be monophyletic, being found on both sides of a major split, alongside such taxa as the Australian/New Zealand C. tasmanica, the Hawaiian C. douglasii, and the Mexican C. membranifolia and C. millefolia.

In the context of the deep divergence of Gymnocarpium from Cystopteris, and the complicated species-level patterns of relationship within each genus, it is particularly surprising that molecular data confirm that ×Cystocarpium is a hybrid between Gymnocarpium dryopteris and a European tetraploid member of the Cystopteris fragilis complex. The ancestors of Cystopteris diverged from those of Gymnocarpium approximately 58 million years ago, meaning that the ×Cystocarpium hybridization event (which happened very recently) united genomes that contain, between them, over 100 million years of independent evolution. This breadth of divergence makes ×Cystocarpium the most extreme example of wide hybridization currently documented, with important implications for the pace of evolution of reproductive isolation, and thus for species formation.

This thesis ends with a tentative synopsis of the Cystopteridaceae (Appendix E). The family, as construed here, contains five genera and approximately 36 species (three in Acystopteris, one in Cystoathyrium, ~25 in Cystopteris, seven in Gymnocarpium, and one in ×Cystocarpium), plus two named subspecies (one each in Cystopteris and Gymnocarpium), and eight named sterile hybrids (three in Cystopteris and five in Gymnocarpium). Each of these tallies is highly subjective--much further research, with an emphasis on cytological and low-copy nuclear data, is necessary before we can hope to have any confidence in the species limits and finer-scale evolutionary patterns in this family.

Family writing provides an essential approach to explore a writer’s life and creations. By dissecting the family writing in Fen-Ling Chou’s literary works, particularly the image of her family members portrayed in a family writing style, this study examined the real situations that women in modern society face. Chou’s family stories represent the common events taking place everywhere in society, and the fate of her female family members is the epitome of certain Taiwanese women. In her writing, Chou revealed her female consciousness and unique thoughts concerning women. All of Chou’s writing pieces were centered on the self – the embodiment of her subconscious self. Chou allowed her true self to surface in her works, while redefining the role of the self in one’s life. Some light was thus brought into her family writing through the deconstruction of life. This study carried out an in-depth investigation of the female consciousness contained in the family writing of Fen-Ling Chou’s prose and novels. The study comprises the following chapters: Chapter I, the introduction, explains the origin of this study, the reason why Chou’s family writing was chosen as the topic among her literary works and the research objectives, as well as expresses the hope that this study may be helpful to the awareness and promotion of female consciousness. Chapter II describes the processes of Chou’s life journey and creation, points out the evolution of her creation process and identifies the possible causes that affected her creation, for further discussion. Chapter III analyzes and organizes the topics and techniques that Chou adopted in her works, as well as the characteristics of her works. It was discovered during the literature review that family was the topic that Chou never ceased writing about and spent enormous amounts of time writing during over two decades of her writing career, thus providing an important research topic that must not be overlooked. This finding was thoroughly elaborated in Chapter IV. Chapter V, the conclusion, summarizes the five major characteristics of Chou’s works, as well as reviews and concludes the previous chapters before providing the research results and limitations and offering a glance of the possibilities for futher research on Fen-Ling Chou’s literary works.

"The structure of ownership in family firms." Thesis, 2010. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6075291.

Full text
Abstract:
Prior literature focuses on the causes and effects of ownership concentration between significant blockholders and minority shareholders. Anecdotal evidence shows that it is also important to look at the causes and effects of ownership concentration within controlling families as family ownership can become diffused after generations. Family trust is a popular vehicle for holding family ownership. It allows a founder to concentrate firm ownership on a long-term basis, preventing control loss after he/she steps down. Family members can enjoy control benefits such as preservation of their family intangible assets. However, there is tradeoff. Family members cannot resolve their conflicts by acquiring and selling off shares among them, since they are no longer the legal owners of the shares.
Using a sample of 216 family firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with time series data spanning 1990--2008, I investigate the causes and effects of ownership concentration by means of family trust. I fmd that when family control is important (when there exists a large amount of family intangibles), there is a higher propensity that family trust is used to concentrate ownership and secure control, provided that the cost of using it is low (small family size hence low family conflict). However, when there are more and more family members after generations, the benefit of preserving the intangibles may not be high enough to cover the cost of potential family conflict, leading to firm value loss. Moreover, the cost of using trust magnifies during difficult periods such as financial distress, economic downturn and leadership succession. Hence, firms with high potential family conflict have poorer performance during difficult time if family trust is used for holding the firm's controlling stake. Family trust also induces common pool problem. Family members tend to extract resources from the family firm as much and as early as possible, leading to higher payout and slower firm growth.

This paper was intended as an investigation of gentry’s tombs during the Japanese period in Taiwan. The purpose here was to explore a little further into tombs imply that social usages of contemporary and cultural characteristics. The target cases were gentry of the Lin family of Wu-Feng(霧峰), the Wu family of Tai-Ping(太平),the Lu family of Shen-Gang(神岡)and the Lin family of Zhu-Shan(竹山)in central of Taiwan. It was considered the subject under the following heads: Longitudinal studies of four familial tombs during the Japanese period in Taiwan (1895-1945). Diachronic studies of four familial tombs from the period of the Ching dynasty to the democratic republic. Besides, the historical method is adopted to collect documents that relationship by marriage and social relations. And the field study is also used to gather fundamental element correlation between contents of environment, layout and decoration of four family. Through comparison, results lead to the conclusion that gentry’s tombs has resemblance between contents of environment, layout and decoration of four family, the noble tomb came into existence multiplicity style and decoration after the Japanese period in Taiwan, the tomb layout present social status, the tomb evolved from social usages of contemporary and cultural factors.

The economy of Taiwan was primary based on agriculture prior to the 1960s. During that period of time, people had started deserted the countryside for the towns. Especially after the flood of August 7th 1959, conditions of cultivation became too intolerable. Countless people from Changhua, Yunlin, and Chiayi fled to the east in pursuit of a better life. Since 1963, the Tsai family has assiduously cultivated from Taitung to Shoufeng. Base on its environmental advantage, the Tsai started an aquaculture business at Shoufeng. In 1971, the Li Chuan Aquafarm was launched. Since then, the Li Chuan Group, with a modest and practical foundation, has consistently developed innovative aqua-technology throughout years. With sweeping time changes, the Li Chuan Group has undergone continuous industry reforms from aquaculture, manufacture and production, to a leisure experience corporation. Meanwhile, the Li Chuan Group assists the individual aqua-farmers in aquaculture management, production and marketing certification, and examination in drug use. They also bring productivity, ecology and life into the community, which prospers the local aquaculture industry. Through numerous article studies, observations and interviews, we obtain that the rural exodus was caused by both push and pull reasons. The push reason was the difficult access to land and jobs, and the pull reason was the new opportunities and higher pay. That is to say, the reasons which drove people to leave the countryside for the towns are mostly related to economy. Moreover, the immigrants’ life style was strongly influenced by its hometown at the beginning, but as the numbers of migration increase, their life style started to diverse. Furthermore, the Tsai family and the Aquafarm both have positive feedbacks for their aqua-technology, marketing, and community building. Besides, with great communication and conformity, the aquafarm in Shoufeng also set a clear future goal: automated aqua-cultivation, fine production, brand establishment, fishing goods manufacture, seedling cultivation, and finally leisure fishery.

Abstract:
Chapter 6 examines the localization of screening community during Hong Kong’s 1960s industrial modernization. It examines the intersections among gendered labor, the Chinese patriarchal family, celebrity culture and fandom, through films starring 1960s idols, Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-fong. While fandom and celebrity culture were created by the real demographics of an increasing number of female workers who became Connie’s and Josephine’s fans, their viewership became discursive sites that contributed to the constructions of a gendered community both within and outside of traditional Confucian familial hierarchies. My analysis of films such as Her Tender Love ((Langru chunri feng, dir. Lui Kei, 1969) and Teddy Girls (Fenü zhengzhuan, dir. Lung Kong, 1969) demonstrates that masquerade not only becomes a point of identification for fans, but also a focusing lens for the convergence of seemingly conflicted experiences of teddy girls and factory girls. As much as they embodied the contradictions of urban industrial modernization, factory girls and teddy girls (both on- and off-screen) and their experiences constructed youth fandom as a discursive site for the creative imagining of freedom and empowerment. And both contributed to making and screening of the industrializing and modernizing city that was 1960s Hong Kong.

Abstract:
My first direct encounter with feng-shui came soon after I arrived in Hong Kong in 1965. A new hospital was being built on a hill overlooking Castle Peak Bay, where my family and I lived. The hospital foundations cut deep into the slope. Several old peasants told me, “This is very bad; the construction has cut the dragon’s pulse.” I learned that the hill had a dragon in it, whose blood circulation had been cut by the foundation trench. This seemed strange to me. I noted it down as a fascinating local belief, and thought no more of it. Soon afterward, a typhoon dumped two feet of rain on Hong Kong within a few days. The oversteepened, undercut slope failed, and a torrent of mud descended, washing out the hospital foundations and burying a house or two at the hill foot. “See?” said my friends. “This is what happens when you cut the dragon’s pulse.” A light went on in my head. The Chinese peasants, pragmatic to the core, had described the phenomenon in terms strange to me; but the phenomenon they described was perfectly real. I reflected that the geologists’ terms “oversteepening” and “slope failure” were not much more empirically verifiable than the dragon. Any Chinese peasant would find them even stranger than I had found that eminent serpent, since I had already learned from reading that ancient Chinese saw dragons in the scaly, ridged contours of mountain ranges. As time went on, I learned that I had found more than a different way of talking about obvious facts. Chinese site planning seemed more and more rational. I learned that villages protected the groves of trees that ringed them, because trees attract good influences and also provide shade, firewood, fruit, leafmold, timber, and other goods. I learned that roads to villages were made crooked to discourage evil beings—and that the evil beings included not only demons but also soldiers, government officials, and (other) bandits.

Abstract:
Urban spaces are negotiated by women living with mental disorders in a variety of ways. Often, this population lives on the fringes of the city, invisible, rarely occupying mainstream spaces. Reintegration of women with mental disorders is a long and arduous process. In India, women living with mental disorders experience long-term institutionalization and abandonment by the family. They are often admitted to the hospital in their late 20s/early 30s and despite becoming asymptomatic are unable to get out of the institution given the absence of their family. As a result, they grow old in the institution, with no skills to fend for themselves, no roof above their head, and no identity beyond ‘madness’. This chapter describes Tarasha, a community-based project working with women surviving mental disorders. Tarasha links shelter, livelihoods, and psycho-social issues to facilitate women’s recovery and reintegration, negotiating urban spaces in order to reduce stigma and discrimination.

Abstract:
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight, ’cause every tool is a weapon, if you hold it right. —Ani DiFranco, “My IQ” American kids are losing ground, showing all the symptoms of social, parental, and personal neglect. Many are left to fend for themselves, and barely manage. Teenage suicides continue and grown-ups do not seem to be getting the point. Our collective failure to confront the rate at which our teens are self-destructing is one of the reasons I have written this book. Although school shootings have opened the nation’s eyes to youth violence and have inspired a full-scale examination, teen suicide is still shrouded in denial, though it would be difficult to find an adult in America who does not know at least one seriously troubled or disturbed teenager—either within their own family or among the families of friends or relatives. And most would probably admit that they have no idea how to understand a problem that threatens to tear the American family apart....

Full text
Abstract:
The base excision repair (BER) pathway has been associated with genome integrity maintenance. Owing to its central role, BER is present in all three domains of life. The studies in plants, considering BER, have been conducted using Arabidopsis and rice models. Therefore, future studies regarding BER are required in other organisms, particularly in crops such as sugarcane, to understand its mechanism, which may reflect the uniqueness of DNA repair in monocots. Our previous results have revealed that sugarcane is an interesting plant for studying this pathway considering the polyploidy genome and genome evolution. This chapter aimed to characterize the BER pathway in sugarcane by using different bioinformatics tools, for example, screening for BER homologs in the sugarcane genome to identify its members. Each sequence obtained was subjected to structural analysis, and certain differences were identified when Arabidopsis was compared to other monocots, including sugarcane. Moreover, ROS1, DEM, and DML3 were not identified as a complete sequence in the sugarcane EST database. Furthermore, FEN1 is present as two sequences, namely FEN1A and FEN1B, both featuring different amino acid sequence and motif presence. Furthermore, FEN1 sequence was selected for further characterization considering its evolutionary history, as sequence duplication was observed only in the Poaceae family. Considering the importance of this protein for BER pathway, this sequence was evaluated using protein models (3D), and a possible conservation was observed during protein–protein interaction. Thus, these results help us understand the roles of certain BER components in sugarcane, and may reveal the aspects and functions of this pathway beyond those already established in the literature.

Abstract:
In mid-1600s, Ryukyu reformed government to better align with Tokugawa Japan. This chapter details how class distinctions were codified and genealogies (kafu) became important, and also provides a description of the reorganized royal government. Ryukyu learned to play both sides—remaining a tributary state of China, and a vassal of Satsuma. Ryukyu began to “sinify” as a means to counterbalance Satsuma’s rule; yet Satsuma also benefited, since its “vassal,” Ryukyu, thereby maintained China’s trust. This chapter details aspects of Chinese culture, including architecture, feng shui, and family names, which Ryukyu embraced. The Kumemura district, home of many Chinese and Chinese scholars, gained importance. Selected Ryukyu students were again permitted to study in China officially, and unofficial “working students” also joined tribute ships’ crews to study in China during long layovers there. Satsuma’s “policy of concealment” discouraged openly “Japanese” behavior among Ryukyuans, to persuade China that Ryukyu was independent from Japan.

Abstract:
Schindilactone A 3 is one of a closely related family of polycyclic lactones that have been used in China for the treatment of rheumatic disease. The synthesis of 3 reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 7373) by Ye-Feng Tang of Tsinghua University and Jia-Hua Chen and Zhen Yang of Peking University is an elegant tour of metal-mediated bond construction, as exemplified by the cyclization of 1 to 2. The preparation of 1 began with the Diels-Alder reaction of 4 with the butadiene 5. Addition of methyl magnesium chloride converted 6 to the crystalline lactone 7. Angular hydroxylation followed by ring expansion gave the bromo enone 8, which was homologated to the lactone 11. Apparently, the bulky silyloxy group directed the addition of the butenyl Grignard reagent 10 to the top face of the ketone carbonyl. Hydroxylation of the lactone followed by the addition of 12 then gave 1 as a mixture of diastereomers. Only one of the two diastereomers of 1 could undergo ring-closing metathesis to form the second of the three carbocyclic rings of 3. The two lactol diastereomers were in equilibrium with each other by way of the open-chain enone. When MgBr2 was added to encourage equilibration, the metathesis proceeded to completion to give 2. The tertiary alcohol of 2 was esterified with 2-butynoic acid to give 13. Intramolecular Pauson-Khand cyclization, using the optimized protocol developed by the authors, then delivered the enone 13, completing the last carbocyclic ring of 3. The last remarkable metal-mediated reaction in the synthesis was the oxidative carbonylation of 14 to 15. It is not clear if the postcarbonylation event is direct Pd-mediated C–O bond formation or the intramolecular addition of alkoxide to a transient butenolide. To complete the synthesis, 15 was methylated, then deprotonated and kinetically quenched to set the proper relative configuration of the last methyl group. Remarkably, despite the presence in the molecule of three other acidic protons, including the one that had just been removed and kinetically reset, exposure of the acetate 16 to a large excess of base, followed by oxidation, gave clean conversion to schindilactone A 3.
