We describe the unified enantioselective total synthesis of the polycyclotryptamine natural products (+)-quadrigemine H, (+)-isopsychotridine C, (+)-oleoidine, and (+)-caledonine. Inspired by our hypothesis for the biogenesis of these alkaloids via an iterative concatenative addition of homochiral cyclotryptamines to a -chimonanthine headcap, we leverage the modular, diazene-directed assembly of stereodefined cyclotryptamines to introduce successive C3a-C7' quaternary stereocenters on a heterodimeric -chimonanthine surrogate with full stereochemical control at each quaternary linkage. We developed a new strategy for iterative aryl-alkyl diazene synthesis using increasingly complex oligomeric hydrazide nucleophiles and a bifunctional cyclotryptamine bearing a C3a leaving group and a pendant C7 pronucleophile.

We report two bridging-diazene diiron complexes [Cp*Fe(8-quinolinethiolate)](μ-NH) () and [Cp*Fe(1,2-CyPCHS)](μ-NH) (), synthesized by the reaction of hydrazine with the corresponding thiolate-based iron half-sandwich complex, [Cp*Fe(8-quinolinethiolate)] () and Cp*Fe(1,2-CyPCHS) (). Crystallographic analysis reveals that the thiolate sites in and can engage in N-H···S hydrogen bonding with the diazene protons. is thermally stable in both solid and solution states, allowing for one-electron oxidation to afford a cationic diazene radical complex [] at room temperature.

The article highlights the cooperative impact of azoheteroarenes [abbt: 2,2'-azobis(benzothiazole), L1-L3; bmpd: ()-1,2-bis(1-methyl-1-pyrazole-3-yl) diazene, L4] and coligands [bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine; pap: 2-phenylazopyridine] in tuning radical (N-N) versus nonradical (N═N) states of L on selective Os-platforms in structurally/spectroscopically characterized monomeric []ClO-[]ClO and [](ClO)-[](ClO)/[](ClO)-[](ClO), respectively. The preferred -configuration of L in the complexes prevented obtaining ligand bridged dimeric species. It revealed that {Os(bpy)} facilitated the stabilization of both nonradical ([](ClO)-[](ClO)) and radical ([]ClO-[]ClO) states of L1/L2, while it delivered exclusively the radical form for L3 in []ClO.

Biological N reduction occurs at sulfur-rich multiiron sites, and an interesting potential pathway is concerted double reduction/ protonation of bridging N through PCET. Here, we test the feasibility of using synthetic sulfur-supported diiron complexes to mimic this pathway. Oxidative proton transfer from μ-η : η-diazene (HN=NH) is the microscopic reverse of the proposed N fixation pathway, revealing the energetics of the process.
