Concise total syntheses of several 5/7/6 norcembranoids, including ineleganolide, scabrolide B, sinuscalide C, and fragilolide A have been achieved through a fragment coupling/ring closure approach. The central seven-membered ring was forged through sequential Mukaiyama-Michael/aldol reactions using norcarvone and a decorated bicyclic lactone incorporating a latent electrophile. Subsequent manipulations installed the reactive enedione motif and delivered scabrolide B in 11 steps from a chiral pool-derived enone.

Allylic diboronates are highly valuable reagents in organic synthesis. Existing methods predominantly yield alkyl-substituted allylic diboronates, while the incorporation of electrophilic carbonyl groups conjugated to these allylic systems remains unknown. We present a strain-release promoted cycloaddition-based strategy that enabled access to unprecedented carbonyl conjugated secondary allylic diborons.

A phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract from air-dried stems of Baccaurea ramiflora led to the isolation of four highly oxygenated picrotoxane-type sesquiterpenoids, ramifloraolides A - D (1-4). Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data (HRESIMS, IR, 1D, and 2D NMR), and their absolute configuration of them were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, all compounds possess a unique [4.

Closed-Loop Chemical Recycling of a Biobased Poly(oxanorbornene-fused γ-butyrolactone).

New polymers, properly designed for end-of-life and efficiently formed from renewable carbon, are key to the transition to a more sustainable circular plastics economy. Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of bicyclic lactones is a promising method for the production of intrinsically recyclable polyesters, but most lactone monomers lack an efficient synthesis route from biobased starting materials, even though this is essential to sustainably account for material loss during the life cycle. Herein, we present the exceptionally rapid and controlled polymerization of a fully biobased tricyclic oxanorbornene-fused γ-butyrolactone monomer ().
