An efficient and versatile synthesis of cis-hexahydrobenzophenanthridines starting from readily available tetralins has been developed using an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation as a key step. The substrates were prepared via a highly stereocontrolled rhodium-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of meso-oxabicyclic alkenes and a hydrogenation sequence. Thus, a wide variety of complex tetracyclic compounds have been isolated with a high level of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity.

A highly stereoselective Brønsted-acid catalyzed synthesis of densely substituted spiroisoindolinones from enamides and 3-hydroxy-isoindolinones is described. With simple Brønsted-acids, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid, spiroisoindolinones with three contiguous stereogenic centers are formed in high yields (up to 97 %) and diastereoselectivities (up to >98 : <2 : 0 : 0 dr) under mild reaction conditions. With the use of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, a diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of the corresponding spiroisoindolinones was achieved.

The major threat to public health due to the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been recognised as a global issue. The increase in morbidity is primarily due to the lack of SARS-CoV-2 specific drugs. One of the major strategies to combat this threat is to deactivate the enzymes responsible for the replication of corona virus.

In this report, we detail two distinct synthetic approaches to calyciphylline A-type alkaloids himalensine A and daphenylline, which are inspired by our analysis of the structural complexity of these compounds. Using MolComplex, a Python-based web application that we have developed, we quantified the structural complexity of all possible precursors resulting from one-bond retrosynthetic disconnections. This led to the identification of transannular bonds as especially simplifying to the molecular graph, and, based on this analysis, we pursued a total synthesis of himalensine A from macrocyclic intermediates with planned late-stage transannular ring formations.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new ladder-type conjugated molecule, FCDTDPP, with potential applications in supramolecular chemistry and cancer therapy.
- It is synthesized using a simple method that connects donor and acceptor components through a vinylene bridge, which enhances its optical properties for effective photothermal conversion.
- FCDTDPP exhibits excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic use, as indicated by both in vitro and preliminary in vivo experiments on tumors.
Reactions of Benzyl Phosphine Oxide/Sulfide with (COCl): Synthesis of Novel Acyl Chloride-Substituted Chlorophosphonium Ylides.

New reactions of benzyl phosphine oxide/sulfide with oxalyl chloride are presented. The resulting reactive intermediates, acyl chloride-substituted chlorophosphonium ylides, are capable of undergoing esterification and Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions, ultimately yielding either methyl 2-(2-bromophenyl)-2-(diphenylphosphoryl)acetate or β-carbonyl-diarylphosphine oxide derivatives. Additionally, when an alkynyl group is contained in the acyl chloride-substituted chlorophosphonium ylide, intramolecular cyclization occurs, leading to the formation of a pair of and dichlorophosphonyl benzofulvene isomers.
