Lannotinidine G is a unique Lycopodium alkaloid that features a tricyclic [6/6/6] core with 3 contiguous stereocenters and a 1,3-diene moiety in addition to a 7-membered lactone. Herein, we disclose our efforts toward the synthesis of this natural product, which achieved the construction of the aza-tricyclic core with the correct configuration at its three stereocenters. Key features of our strategy include a highly diastereoselective Fráter-Seebach alkylation and Corey-Chaykovsky type epoxide formation, an unusual aziridinium-mediated ring contraction for the formation of the piperidine moiety, and a regioselective dienyne metathesis.

This study analyzes the samarium diiodide-promoted cyclizations of 5-arylpentan-2-ones to dearomatized bicyclic products utilizing density functional theory. The reaction involves a single electron transfer to the carbonyl group, which occurs synchronously with the rate determining cyclization event, and a second subsequent proton-coupled electron transfer. These redox reactions are accurately computed employing small core pseudo potentials explicitly involving all f-electrons of samarium.

Iriomoteolide-1a and iriomoteolide-1b are very potent cytotoxic agents, isolated from marine dinoflagellates. We carried out the enantioselective syntheses of the proposed structures of these natural products. However, our analysis of the NMR spectra of the synthetic iriomoteolide-1a and the natural products revealed that the structures of iriomoteolide-1a and iriomoteolide-1b were assigned incorrectly.
