Stereoselective synthesis of the trans-decalin subunit with a defined C1 quaternary chiral center has been achieved by the Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) as a key step. The developed chemistry offers an alternative to the IMDA reaction that has been used for the syntheses of trans-decalin based biologically active natural products.

Marine cyclopianes are a family of diterpenoid with novel carbon skeleton and diverse biological activities. Herein, we report our synthetic and chemical proteomics studies of cyclopiane diterpenes which culminate in the asymmetric total synthesis of conidiogenones C, K and 12β-hydroxy conidiogenone C, and identification of Immunity-related GTPase family M protein 1 (IRGM1) as a cellular target. Our asymmetric synthesis commences from Wieland-Miescher ketone and features a sequential intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction and gold-catalyzed Nazarov cyclization to rapidly construct the 6-5-5-5 tetracyclic skeleton.

We report a stereo-differentiating dynamic kinetic asymmetric Rh(I)-catalyzed Pauson-Khand reaction, which provides access to an array of thapsigargin stereoisomers. Using catalyst-control, a consistent stereochemical outcome is achieved at C2─for both matched and mismatched cases─regardless of the allene-yne C8 stereochemistry. The stereochemical configuration for all stereoisomers was assigned by comparing experimental vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and C NMR to DFT-computed spectra.

Article Synopsis
- (+)-Mannolide B features a complex hexacyclic structure with multiple stereocenters, presenting challenges for its total synthesis.
- A successful strategy involved ring-closing metathesis starting from (-)-methyl jasmonate to construct its tetracyclic carbon skeleton.
- The synthesis included various attempts, ultimately culminating in a Pauson-Khand reaction and a Büchner-Curtius-Schlotterbeck reaction, leading to the first total synthesis of (+)-mannolide B in 24 steps.

Euphorbialoid A () belongs to the rare diterpenoid family of premyrsinanes and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects. The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups.
