The first synthesis of the natural products credneramide A and B was accomplished by utilizing Alder-ene reactions between a terminal alkene and an internal alkyne to generate the rather uncommon 1,4-diene substructure of these compounds. Moreover, two different short linear sequences toward these targets are evaluated using either a cobalt-catalyzed Alder-ene reaction of 1-chloropent-1-yne or a ruthenium-catalyzed Alder-ene reaction of 1-trimethylsilyl-1-pentyne with 5-hexenoic acid derivatives in the key step transformation. In addition, saponification of the primary Alder-ene product derived from the cobalt-catalyzed Alder-ene reaction led to credneric acid, the biological precursor of both natural products.

The Pd-catalyzed reaction of 1-(2-iodophenyl)-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-ones with benzene-tethered furan-ynes produces novel fused hexacyclic indenone-furan scaffolds, while the reaction with propargyl furfuryl ethers affords the pentacyclic indenone-spirodifuran system. The thiophene-containing alkynes also proceed by similar transformations. A mechanism involving the Pd-catalyzed coupling and propargylic Alder-ene reaction to generate the indenone-allene intermediate, followed by an intramolecular furan/thiophene-participated inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, is proposed.

Macrocyclization the intramolecular Alder-ene reaction of arynes to construct carbo- and hetero-macrocycles fused with an indoline or isoindoline moiety is described. By installing ether, ester, alkene, and cyclic tethers at an appropriate location between the aryne and the ene donor, macrocycles up to a 46-membered ring could be constructed.

The biological activities of natural products (NPs) provided precious resources for the development of new drugs. Numerous studies have shown that statins exhibit cytotoxic potential, which is now an extensive focus of investigation. Herein, a remarkably efficient method for modification of statins using hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) arynes has been described.

We describe novel amine-mediated transformation of alkynyl ketones and amides to generate 2-methylene-2H-pyrans, substituted 3-hydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-ones, and amine-incorporated arenes. These cascade processes are initiated by conjugate addition of secondary amine followed by hydrolysis of the enamine/vinylogous amide intermediates. The product distribution is highly sensitive to the steric and electronic effects of the substituents on both the alkyne moieties, the tether structure connecting them, and the nature of the amine.
