Direct oxidative cyclization of (eta2:eta2-CH2=CHCH2C6H4CHO)Ni(PR3) to form the nickelacycle and drastic acceleration of the cyclization by the addition of Me3SiOTf were observed. (eta2-PhCHO)Ni(PCy3)2 also reacted with Me3SiOTf to give (eta1:eta1-Me3SiOCH(Ph))Ni(PCy3)OTf.

The first asymmetric total synthesis of the tetraterpenoid (+)-7,7'-bistaxodione () via a unique late-stage electrochemical oxidative dimerization of a diterpenoid quinone methide tumor Inhibitor (+)-taxodione () has been described. The naturally occurring monomer was synthesized from aromatic abietane diterpenoid, ferruginol (1e) . Further, an efficient convergent synthetic route toward the naturally occurring aromatic abietane terpenoids has been shown via a Lewis acid-mediated diastereoselective cationic epoxy-ene cyclization.

Tambjamines are complex bipyrrole-containing natural products that possess promising bioactive properties. Although is known to produce both cyclic tambjamine MYP1 and the linear precursor (YP1), the biosynthetic machinery used to catalyze the site-selective oxidative carbocyclization at the unactivated 1° carbon of YP1 has remained unclear. Here, we demonstrate that a three-component Rieske system consisting of an oxygenase (TamC) and two redox partner proteins is responsible for this unprecedented activity on YP1 and potentially, a non-native substrate (BE-18591).

A novel and efficient strategy for the direct synthesis of 3-arylthioquinoline derivatives via radical induced tandem cyclization of propargylamines with diaryl disulfides was developed. This protocol undergoes a cascade sulfuration/ cyclization/ oxidation/ aromatization pathway to afford the desired products in a broad substrate scope using readily available starting materials under mild conditions. Based on this strategy, we further modified 3-arylquinolines to obtain two novel deep blue fluorescent molecules, QLSCz and QLSTCz, with good optical properties through two-step synthesis by oxidation and electron donor modification.

Metal-Assisted Synthesis of Diverse Porphyrinoids by Cyclization of an N-Confused Thia-Pentapyrrane.

Oxidation of thia-pentapyrrane S-P4 with terminal β-linked pyrrole and thiophene units in the presence of various metal ions has been found to afford distinct porphyrinoids. Specifically, N-confused thiasapphyrin (1), Cu(III) norrole (2), neo-confused phlorin (3), and p-benzinorrole (4) were obtained, when S-P4 was oxidized with p-chloranil in acetonitrile in the presence of Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Co2+, respectively. The structures of 1-4 have been clearly elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, and X-ray crystal diffraction (for 2-4).
