A novel Diels-Alder (DA) reaction with 4-nitro-1(2H)-isoquinolones acting as the dienophile afforded 5(6H)-phenanthridone derivatives. The DA reaction of 4-nitro-1(2H)-isoquinolone with 1-methoxy-1,3-butadiene gave biologically active 5(6H)-phenanthridone possessing in a high yield. Regioselectivity of 4-nitro-1(2H)-isoquinolones with 1-methoxy-3-silyloxy-1,3-butadiene was calculated using molecular orbital (MO) calculations.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Thevinols and their 3-O-demethylated relatives, orvinols, are derivatives of the Diels-Alder adduct of natural alkaloid thebaine with methyl vinyl ketone. Taken together, thevinols and orvinols constitute an important family of opioid receptor (OR) ligands playing an important role in both the OR mediated antinociception and OR antagonism. Herein, we disclose for the first time the antagonist activity of the N-allyl substituted orvinol derivative fluorinated within the pharmacophore associated with C(20) and its surrounding.

Flex-activated mechanophores capable of releasing small molecules utilize bond bending to facilitate their mechanochemical activation without compromising the overall macromolecular architecture, which have great potential in various applications. However, the development of such mechanophores remains underexplored. Here we report a novel flex-activated mechanophore based on the 1,4-Diels-Alder (DA) adduct of 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) with acetylenedicarboxylate (ADC).

Furan-functionalized peptides are of significant pharmacological interest due to their pronounced bioactivities and unique potential for orthogonal bioconjugation and derivatization. However, naturally occurring peptides with furyl side chains are exceedingly rare. This study presents a streamlined method to predict and assess the microbial production of peptides incorporating 3-furylalanine (Fua) moieties.

Atropisomers with multiple stereogenic axes have attracted much attention due to their increasing significance in the fields of natural products, chiral materials, and drug discoveries. However, the catalytic stereoselective construction of axially chiral ring scaffolds with more than two axes on a single benzene ring remains a challenging task. Herein, we present an efficient method for synthesizing triaxially chiral polysubstituted naphthalene scaffolds via sequential Ni(II)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of isobenzofurans and TfOH-promoted dehydrative aromatization reaction.
