A concise and general route to synthesize a new class of [6-5-6] tricyclic core embedded polyheterocycles has been accomplished using diastereoselective Nazarov cyclization with an overall yield of 35-40%. Versatility of this synthetic route has also been demonstrated by accessing a variety of [6-5-5] tricyclic core incorporated polycycles. It was observed that the efficiency of cyclization depends upon the impact of polarization on the reacting systems. Amongst the various Lewis and Brønsted acids screened for cyclization, triflic acid was found to be the most effective catalyst.

This manuscript describes a study of diverse reaction outcomes that stem from the ionization of -alkynyl-Prins adducts. Experimental results have demonstrated unexpected behavior in the nitrogen-containing systems compared to the analogous oxygen derivatives derived from -Prins/-Nazarov sequences. In-depth experimental studies and computational analysis revealed an intricate mechanism involving competing -Nazarov and -Nazarov pathways.

Fully substituted divinyl ketones (fsDVKs) have long been regarded as resistant to Nazarov cyclization (NC) unless they contain strategically positioned electronically activating substituents. Here, however, we show that fsDVKs bearing only electronically neutral alkyl or aryl groups actually undergo facile NC due to steric crowding in the pentadienyl cation intermediate, which raises its energy and reduces the barrier height to cyclization. Strongly ionizing and suitably bulky acid moieties further increase the energy of this intermediate cation, favoring cyclization.

A cascade Nazarov cyclization/dicycloexpansions reaction was developed for the precise synthesis of the angularly fused M/5/N (M=5, 6; N=4-9, 13) tricyclic skeletons. The prioritized expansion of the first ring played a critical role in the transformations, due to the release of ring strain, and the nature of the substituents present on the substrate is another influencing factor. This pioneering cascade reaction features broad substrates scope (33 examples), short reaction time, exceptional yields (up to 95 %), and remarkable regioselectivities (>20 : 1).

Here we report the asymmetric total syntheses of two rearranged tigliane diterpenoids, euphordraculoate A and pedrolide. A reductive dihydroxylation cascade and Nazarov cyclization were performed to generate euphordraculoate A, which was subjected to a cascade of Eu-promoted dienyl enolization, intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and enol-ketone tautomerization to afford pedrolide, a pathway consistent with our proposal for the biogenesis of pedrolide.
