Allenylzinc formed via oxygen-promoted zinc/iodine exchange between propargyl iodides and diethylzinc can be trapped by intramolecular reaction with various electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, carbamates, and imides. Potentially useful building blocks were obtained in high yields.

Intermediate Control: Unlocking Hitherto Unknown Reactivity and Selectivity in N-Conjugated Allenes and Alkynes.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes provide an important strategy for selective C-H functionalization. Compared with the popularity of 1,5-HAT processes, however, net-1,2-HAT reactions have been reported less frequently. Herein, we report a unique visible-light-mediated net-1,2-HAT of amidyl radicals for the synthesis of β-amido ketone derivatives.

Article Synopsis
- - In anodic electrosynthesis, cation radicals are important intermediates that can be attacked by nucleophiles or undergo deprotonation, affecting the yield of chemical products based on competing pathways.
- - The study uses computational methods to analyze how methanol influences the trapping of enol ether cation radicals, revealing that methanol enhances the rate of specific reactions through a second-order kinetic process.
- - The formation of a "Zundel-like" conformation with methanol assists both intramolecular and solvent-mediated attacks on the cation radicals, leading to very low energy barriers for these reactions and resulting in unique kinetics based on the structure of the substrate.
Total Synthesis of (-)-Cordycicadin D and 3,4-trans-Cordycicadins A and B: Entry to the 3,4-trans-Fused Cordycicadin Framework.

Cordycicadins A-D are four C polyketides, all containing a γ-lactone fused to a 10-membered lactone. The proposed biosynthetic pathway for the cordycicadins anticipates the formation of two more natural products which are unknown. We report the total synthesis of (-)-cordycicadin D and the two anticipated natural products 3,4-trans-cordycicadins A and B.
