Synthesis of the HCl salts of two anhydrophytosphingosines, jaspine B (1) and its 4-epi-congener 5 from easily available dimethyl l-tartrate and/or l-arabinose, is described. The key transformations are the efficient incorporation of a chiral amino group via [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, a Wittig olefination for the instalment of the carbon backbone and the acid-promoted building-up of a tetrahydrofuran framework. Evaluation for in vitro antiproliferative/cytotoxic activity with a panel of human tumour cell lines using a MTT assay revealed for some compounds of our strategy noteworthy activity. Compound 1·HCl (IC50: 0. 41-2.35 μM), its antipode ent-1·HCl (IC50: 4.07-5.69 μM) and also stereoisomer 4·HCl (IC50: 4.28-6.10 μM) exhibited significant potency compared with clinically available anticancer drugs such as cisplatin (IC50: 11.4-14.7 μM) and etoposide (IC50: 1.2-21.2 μM) on MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and Jurkat cells.

Herein, we introduce a mild and efficient method for synthesizing aniline biaryls and unsymmetrical phenol biaryls through iodine-catalyzed coupling of quinone imine ketals (QIKs)/quinonemonoacetals (QMAs) and -naphthols. This approach allows for the unusual formation of ortho-substituted anilines and phenols, valuable in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials but typically difficult to produce. Our method achieves high -selectivity without needing transition metals or external/internal templates.

Article Synopsis
- A new method has been developed to synthesize various functionalized quinazolinones using a series of reactions involving Pd-catalyzed coupling and electrocyclization.
- When a specific type of compound (3-(2-isocyanoethyl)indoles) is used, there’s an interesting competition between two reactions, leading to the formation of different products.
- This process allows for a modular and highly selective synthesis of both quinazolinones and spiroindolenine-3,3'-pyrrolo[2,1-]quinazolinones.

A novel annulation reaction of prop-2-ynylsulfonium salts with sulfur ylides and nitrosobenzenes has been developed, affording various benzazepines in moderate to good yields. Prop-2-ynylsulfonium salts act as C synthons in the reactions, providing a promising benzazepine skeleton in a one-pot operation with readily accessible starting materials.

The alkene-carboxylate transposition (ACT) of allyl carboxylates is one of the most atom-economic and synthetically reliable transformations in organic chemistry, as allyl carboxylates are versatile synthetic intermediates. Classic ACT transformations, including [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and transition metal-catalyzed allylic rearrangement, typically yield 1,2-alkene/1,3-acyloxy shifted products through a two-electron process. However, position-altered ACT to produce distinct 1,3-alkene/1,2-acyloxy shifted products remains elusive.
