[formula: see text] A novel asymmetric total synthesis of marine natural product (+)-Laurenyne has been achieved. The key elements of the strategy are the sequential metal ion-templated SN2' cyclization affording a highly functionalized chiral vinyl cyclobutane and a retro-Claisen rearrangement for the construction of an eight-membered ring ether.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals new methods for processing methyl groups in terpenoids, through a combination of silylation and oxidation, leading to various transformations such as substitution and integration of the methyl carbon.
- * These processes not only allow for the creation of novel chemical structures with expanded rings but also show potential applications in medicinal chemistry by adding functional groups to complex compounds.
Total Synthesis of (+)-Cinereain and (-)-Janoxepin through a Fragment Coupling/Retro-Claisen Rearrangement Cascade.

Total syntheses of (+)-cinereain and (-)-janoxepin, two fungal cyclotripeptides featuring a complex heterocyclic core and interesting phytotoxic and antimalarial activities, have been achieved in a convergent manner. A key step in this synthesis is a one-pot cascade initiated by the cyclocondensation of two fragments-a hindered 2-vinylcyclopropane-1-acyl fluoride and an electron-deficient cyclic amidine-to release a reactive spiro[2-vinylcyclopropane-1,5'-pyrimidine-4',6'-dione]. This intermediate underwent a spontaneous retro-Claisen rearrangement that was rationalized by DFT calculations.

The Mn(III)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of methylenebis(cyclohexane-1,3-dione) enols resulted in 6a-hydroxy-2,3,4,6a,7,8,9,10a-octahydro-1-benzo[]chromene-1,6,10-triones during the formation of 4,5,8,10,11,12-hexahydro-2-benzo[]oxecine-2,6,7,9(3)-tetraones . The mechanism for the formation of was proposed on the basis of the isolation of intermediates , which were transformed into under Claisen and retro-Claisen conditions.
