A variety of 3-aryl tetronic acids have been synthesized by an undirected, intermolecular C-H functionalization of arenes with 3-diazofuran-2,4-dione. This methodology featured as a key step in the synthesis of a series of naturally occurring 3-aryl-5-arylidene tetronic acids (pulvinates) from commercially available tetronic acid. Salient features of the pulvinic acid synthesis include a one-step, stereoselective synthesis of the C5 arylidene group and a single step introduction of the C3 aryl substituent.

For the first time, recyclization of allomaltol derivatives with an amide fragment in the side chain were investigated. It was shown that the studied process leads to substituted tetronic acids bearing a pyrrolidinone moiety. The application of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole and DBU is necessary for implementation of the considered reaction.

The growing resistance of (L.) to conventional insecticides presents a major challenge in arbovirus control, necessitating the exploration of alternative insecticidal chemistries. Spiromesifen, derived from spirocyclic tetronic acids, is widely used against agricultural pests and is crucial in resistance management due to its unique lipid synthesis inhibition.

In reviewing a selection of recent case studies from our laboratory, we revealed some lessons learned and benefits accrued from the application of mass spectrometry (MS/MS) molecular networking in the field of marine sponge natural products. Molecular networking proved pivotal to our discovery of many new natural products and even new classes of natural product, some of which were opaque to alternate dereplication and prioritization strategies. Case studies included the discovery of: (i) trachycladindoles, an exceptionally rare class of bioactive indole alkaloid previously only known from a single southern Australia sample of ; (ii) dysidealactams, an unprecedented class of sesquiterpene glycinyl-lactam and glycinyl-imide from a sp.
