Download or read book Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis written by Joseph D. Panarese and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, (+)-aspergillide C, a structurally novel marine metabolite bearing a 14-membered macrolactone around a 2,6-dihydropyran core, was isolated from a marine-derived fungus, Aspergillus ostianus. In a biological assay, (+)-aspergillide C displayed promising anticancer activity (LD50=2.0μg/ml) against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells (L1210). Due to its notable biological activity and interesting architecture, we viewed aspergillide C as an attractive synthetic target. Moreover, the aspergillide scaffold could lend itself to diverse structural modifications in projected syntheses of biologically active congeners. In this account, we describe our enantioselective approach to aspergillide C from (S)-(−)-glyceraldehyde acetonide and the Danishefsky–Kitahara diene. Strategic transformations include a heterocyclocondensation reaction, a Ferrier-type addition, and a palladium-catalyzed oxidative lactonization to set key stereocenters within the dihydropyran core, followed by fragment coupling through an (E)-selective Julia–Kocienski olefination.

Download or read book Open Strategy written by Christian Stadler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How smart companies are opening up strategic initiatives to involve front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Why are some of the world’s most successful companies able to stay ahead of disruption, adopting and implementing innovative strategies, while others struggle? It’s not because they hire a new CEO or expensive consultants but rather because these pioneering companies have adopted a new way of strategizing. Instead of keeping strategic deliberations within the C-Suite, they open up strategic initiatives to a diverse group of stakeholders—front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Open Strategy presents a new philosophy, key tools, step-by-step advice, and fascinating case studies—from companies that range from Barclays to Adidas—to guide business leaders in this groundbreaking approach to strategy. The authors—business-strategy experts from both academia and management consulting—introduce tools for each of the three stages of strategy-making: idea generation, plan formulation, and implementation. These are digital tools (including strategy contests), which allow the widest participation; hybrid digital/in-person tools (including a “nightmare competitor challenge”); a workshop tool that gamifies the business model development process; and tools that help companies implement and sustain open strategy efforts. Open strategy has an astonishing track record: a survey of 200 business leaders shows that although open-strategy techniques were deployed for only 30 percent of their initiatives, those same initiatives generated 50 percent of their revenues and profits. This book offers a roadmap for this kind of success.
Download or read book Your Strategy Needs a Strategy written by Martin Reeves and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You think you have a winning strategy. But do you? Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it’s never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy. In this book, The Boston Consulting Group’s Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch. Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you’ll be able to answer questions such as: • What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete? • When can we—and when should we—shape the game to our advantage? • How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units? • How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies? Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply. Get started today.
Download or read book Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis written by Michael F. Greaney and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter describes the synthesis of two related sesquiterpenes, anislactone A and merrilactone A. We initially accessed a tetracyclic oxetane in the merrilactone series using a Paternò–Büchi reaction but found the compound to be too underfunctionalized to advance further. We then developed an approach based on reductive epoxide ring opening, whereby a fully elaborated C-ring epoxy-cyclopentane, containing five stereocenters, could undergo reductive epoxide cleavage when treated with Ti(III). The resulting tertiary radical then participates in a 5-exo-dig cyclization onto a pendant alkyne to afford the complete carbon skeleton of both natural products. From this point, orthogonal functionalization routes enabled the synthesis of both anislactone A and merrilactone A. A second-generation merrilactone A synthesis is then described, growing out of discoveries made over the course of the first route in the area of cyclopentannulation. An iodo-aldol method was used to develop an approach to the anislactone skeleton and succeeded in producing the BC bicycle with good stereocontrol and functional group tolerance. Further functionalization, however, did not prove possible due to excessive steric hindrance around the incorporated iodo group preventing any productive transformation. This problem was solved by switching the nucleophile in the tandem-aldol process to cyanide. The resulting domino cyanide-addition aldol cyclization was then successfully employed in the formal synthesis of merrilactone A, using a late-stage [2+2] photocycloaddition to access the D-ring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to close the gap between strategy and execution Two-thirds of executives say their organizations don’t have the capabilities to support their strategy. In Strategy That Works, Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi explain why. They identify conventional business practices that unintentionally create a gap between strategy and execution. And they show how some of the best companies in the world consistently leap ahead of their competitors. Based on new research, the authors reveal five practices for connecting strategy and execution used by highly successful enterprises such as IKEA, Natura, Danaher, Haier, and Lego. These companies: • Commit to what they do best instead of chasing multiple opportunities • Build their own unique winning capabilities instead of copying others • Put their culture to work instead of struggling to change it • Invest where it matters instead of going lean across the board • Shape the future instead of reacting to it Packed with tools you can use for building these five practices into your organization and supported by in-depth profiles of companies that are known for making their strategy work, this is your guide for reconnecting strategy to execution.
