Valuable synthetic routes to the Lycopodium alkaloid lycodine (1) and its unsymmetric dimers, complanadines A (4) and B (5), have been developed. Regioselective construction of the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core structure of lycodine was achieved by a remote functionality-controlled Diels-Alder reaction and subsequent intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reaction. A key coupling reaction of the lycodine units, pyridine N-oxide (66) and aryl bromide (65), through C-H arylation at the C1 position of 66 provided the unsymmetric dimer structure at a late stage of the synthesis. This strategy greatly simplified the construction of the dimeric architecture and functionalization. Complanadines A (4) and B (5) were synthesized by adjusting the oxidation level of the bipyridine mono-N-oxide (67). The diverse utility of this common intermediate (67) suggests a possible biosynthetic pathway of complanadines in Nature. Both enantiomers of lycodine (1) and complanadines A (4) and B (5) were prepared in sufficient quantities for biological evaluation. The effect on neuron differentiation of PC-12 cells upon treatment with culture medium, in which human astrocytoma cells had been cultured in the presence of 1, 4, or 5 was evaluated.

The reaction of the diborabenzene (DBB) nickel(0) pogo-stick complex [(η-DBB)Ni(CO)] () with a large excess of [Ni(CO)] yields the dark green, unstable dinickel(0) complex [(η-DBB)Ni(μ-CO)Ni(CO)] (), which loses one CO ligand to yield the purple, bimetallic Ni half-sandwich complex [(η-DBB)Ni(μ-CO)(η-CO)] (). The addition of the chromium aminoborylene complex [(OC)Cr{BN(TMS)}] (TMS = trimethylsilyl) to does not result in the expected borylene transfer but in the formation of the black Ni-Cr complex [(η-DBB)Ni(μ-CO)Cr(CO)] (), alongside the dimeric iminoborane [(TMS)BN(TMS)] (), which results from the rearrangement of the released BN(TMS) aminoborylene moiety. Furthermore, the oxidative addition of methyl triflate (MeOTf) to leaves the (η-DBB)Ni moiety intact and provides the ionic Ni half-sandwich complex [(η-DBB)NiMe(CO)]OTf (), while reaction with pentaphenylborole (PPB) yields the unique, dark-blue, unsymmetrical sandwich complex [(η-DBB)Ni(μ-CO)(η-PPB)] ().

Investigating solid-state photoreactivity, driven by crystal packing, has been a major enduring research theme in Crystal Engineering. Trans-3-styryl pyridine (3-StPy), an unsymmetric olefin, is photo-stable. However, when converted to a series of salts, they exhibited solid-state photoreactivity under UV irradiation.

We report the physical properties of a new class of triarylmethyl-based carbocations containing both an electron-donating diphenyl ether moiety and an electron-accepting carbonyl group with a helical plane framework. Their unique packing patterns were clarified by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which depend on the counter anions to influence their photophysical properties in the solid states. Notably, the interactions between π-cation species and planar anion species lead to a unique panchromatic property, accompanying a near-infrared absorption with a λ value of 1030 nm, which can be assigned to intermolecular charge transfer transition.

We envisioned a novel asymmetric strategy to access unsymmetrically substituted dimeric 2-oxindoles [(,)- and (,)-] for the total synthesis of calycanthidine (). The key to success is the development of efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed asymmetric sequential allylations [via a highly enantioselective [up to 94% enantiomeric excess (ee)] and diastereoselective (up to ∼13:1) process] of unsymmetrically protected dimeric 2-oxindoles at the 3,3' position [such as (,)- and (,)-]. Gratifyingly, a mixture of bis-ester (±)-, ester-carbonates (±)- and (±)-, and bis-carbonate could afford (,)- and (,)- in highly stereoselective fashion, thereby culminating in the total synthesis of (+)-calycanthidine [-()] and (-)-calycanthidine ().
