Synthesis of the spiroisoxazoline natural product (+)-calafianin is reported using asymmetric nucleophilic epoxidation and nitrile oxide cycloaddition as key steps. Synthesis and spectral analysis of all calafianin stereoisomers led to unambiguous assignment of relative and absolute stereochemistry.

1,6-Dioxo-2-azaspiro[3.4]oct-2-enes and Related Spirocycles: Heterocycles from [3 + 2] Nitrile Oxide Cycloadditions with 2-Methyleneoxetanes, -Thietanes, and -Azetidines.

Isoxazolines and 4-membered heterocycles are significant structural motifs in numerous synthetic intermediates and natural products. [3 + 2] Cycloadditions between enol ethers and nitrile oxides have been well studied; however, nitrile oxide cycloadditions with 4-membered heterocycles to give spiroisoxazolines are unreported. Here, we showcase the regio- and diastereoselective [3 + 2] nitrile oxide cycloadditions of 2-methyleneoxetanes, -azetidines, and -thietanes to give an array of 1,6-dioxo-2-azaspiro[3.

Sponges are prolific producers of specialized metabolites with unique structural scaffolds. Their chemical diversity has always inspired natural product chemists working in drug discovery. As part of their metabolic filter-feeding activities, sponges are known to release molecules, possibly including their specialized metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the dual nature of inflammation, which is essential for injury protection but can lead to health issues if it becomes persistent.
- Researchers investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Arteannuin-B and a new derivative, spirocyclic-2-isoxazoline, demonstrating that the latter is a more effective anti-inflammatory agent with lower cell toxicity.
- The findings suggest that the new derivative, JR-9, could be developed into an anti-inflammatory drug by regulating specific signaling pathways involved in macrophage response.

We report a general synthetic entry to dihydrooxepine-spiroisoxazoline (DOSI) natural products that culminated in the first racemic total synthesis of psammaplysin A. For the synthesis of the unique spirocyclic fragment we employed a strategy that features two key transformations: (1) a diastereoselective Henry reaction/cyclization sequence to access the C7 hydroxylated isoxazoline scaffold in one step and (2) a regioselective Baeyer-Villiger ring expansion to install the fully substituted dihydrooxepine and avoid the risk of a previously observed oxepine-arene oxide rearrangement. The overall synthesis proceeds in 13 steps from an inexpensive starting material.

Examination of the MeOH extract of the sponge, cf. , Berquist 1995 collected near Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia for selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, yielded five new bromotyrosine alkaloids, methyl purpuroceratates A and B ( and ), purpuroceratic acid C (), and ningalamides A and B ( and ). The structures of - share the dibromo-spirocyclohexadienyl-isoxazoline (SIO) ring system found in purealidin-R, while ketoxime is analogous to ianthelline and purpurealidin I.
