Article Abstract
A [4 + 4] annulation strategy for the synthesis of eight-membered carbocycles is reported that proceeds via a cascade involving two pericyclic processes. In the first step, the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of a conjugated enyne with an electron-deficient cyclobutene generates a strained six-membered cyclic allene that isomerizes to the corresponding 1,3-cyclohexadiene. In the second step, this bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-diene intermediate undergoes thermal or acid-promoted 6-electron electrocyclic ring opening to furnish a 2,4,6-cyclooctatrienone. The latter transformation represents the first example of the promotion of 6-electron electrocyclic ring opening reactions by acid.

A transition metal-free domino Michael/S2/aromatization annulation of 2-pyridylacetates with bromonitroolefins has been developed. A wide range of substrates containing various substituted groups was compatible with the present methodology and afforded functionalized indolizines with moderate to excellent yield (up to 99% yield). In addition, the potential practicality of the method stood out through scale-up reactions and further transformations to other valuable compounds.

We report a cascade approach for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyrroles derivatives via a formal [4 + 1] annulation reaction of α,β-unsaturated imines with generated pyridinium ylides. Importantly, this protocol is compatible with diverse substituted imines as well as pyridinium ylides, constructing 2,3-dihydropyrroles with excellent yield and selectivity. Thereafter, the Merrifield resin-supported pyridinium ylide as a potential C1 synthon was also employed in our strategy and reused several times, resulting in products with excellent yield and diastereoselectivity.

Developing asymmetric transformations using electroredox and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed radical pathways is still desirable and challenging. Herein, we report an iodide-promoted β-carbon activation (LUMO-lowering process) of enals via electroredox carbene catalysis coupled with a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This strategy offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable route for rapidly assembling synthetically useful chiral naphthopyran-3-one in good to excellent yield and enantioselectivity using traceless electrons as inexpensive and greener oxidants.

The cochlearols and ganocochlearins are natural products with unique antifibrotic and renoprotective activities in models of kidney disease. They represent compelling lead compounds for pharmacological intervention against kidney disease, often characterized by renal fibrosis. We report a four-step synthesis of (±)-cochlearol T () and the first reported syntheses of (±)-ganocochlearin A () and (±)-cochlearol Y () through a strategy that includes a Robinson annulation and unexpected oxidative aromatization.

Capitalizing on Hauser annulation and Yu glycosylation, the chemical synthesis of chartreusin-type aromatic polycyclic polyketide glycosides has been investigated, culminating in the successful establishment of chemical approaches toward chartreusin derivatives with intricate chemical structures but promising bioactivities. Based on the chemical synthesis strategy, the first and collective chemical syntheses of chartreusin, D329C, and elsamicins A and B have been accomplished. The chemical strategy was featured by two complementary routes to secure chartarin 10--monosaccharide glycosides, the key intermediates in chartreusin derivative synthesis, as well as the highly stereoselective construction of the difficult glycosidic linkages.
