The intramolecular Nicholas reaction of propargylic alcohols derived from N, N-acyl-diprotected omega-semialdehydes obtained from glutamic acid provided stereoselectively 5-alkynylproline derivatives. The suitable choice of the N-protecting group (tosyl or benzoyl derivative) permitted control of the stereochemistry during the ring formation. Semiempirical calculations of the species involved in the cyclization support the observed stereochemistry.

Synthetic methods that enable the macrocyclisation of peptides facilitate the development of effective therapeutic and diagnostic tools. Herein we report a peptide cyclisation strategy based on intramolecular interception of visible-light-mediated cysteine desulfurisation. This method allows cyclisation of unprotected peptides in an aqueous solution the installation of a hydrocarbon linkage.

Dy(III) bis-cyclopentadienyl (Cp) sandwich compounds exhibit extremely strong single-ion magnetic anisotropy which imbues them with magnetic memory effects such as magnetic hysteresis, and has put them at the forefront of high-performance single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Owing to the great success of design principles focused on maximising the anisotropy barrier, ever higher values have been reported leading to significant slow down of single-phonon Orbach spin relaxation. However, anisotropy-based SMM design has largely ignored two-phonon Raman spin relaxation, which is still limiting the temperatures at which a memory effect can be observed.

The asymmetric total syntheses of C19 diterpenoids, bearing a unique cycloheptene A ring with a chiral methyl group at C-12, were disclosed based on a universal strategy. Six members, including cephinoid P, cephafortoid A, 14--cephafortoid A and fortalpinoids M-N, P, were accomplished for the first time. The concise approach relies on two crucial steps: (1) a Nicholas/Hosomi-Sakurai cascade reaction was developed to efficiently generate the cycloheptene ring bearing a chiral methyl group; (2) an intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction was followed to facilitate the construction of the complete skeleton of target molecules.

A unified synthetic route for the total syntheses of eribulin and a macrolactam analog of halichondrin B is described. The key to the success of the current synthetic approach includes the employment of our reverse approach for the construction of cyclic ether structural motifs and a modified intramolecular cyclization reaction between alkyl iodide and aldehyde functionalities to establish the all-carbon macrocyclic framework of eribulin. These syntheses, together with our previous work on the total syntheses of halichondrin B and norhalichondrin B, demonstrate and validate the powerful reverse approach in the construction of cyclic ether structural motifs.

Hypocrellins and hypomycins are two subclasses of fungal perylenequinones with unique structural, biological, and photochemical properties. With the growing interest in these naturally occurring photosensitizers, more studies were warranted to better understand the structural relationships between these two subclasses of perylenequinones. In this study, the long-postulated biosynthetic precursor () of class B fungal perylenequinones was isolated and characterized from a -like sp.
