Nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents to tetrahydro-β-carboline (THC) N-sulfonyl N,S-acetal generates exclusively cis-1,3-disubstituted THCs with a unique 1,3-diaxial conformation. The stereochemical relationship of the 1,3-substituents was confirmed by 2-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The mechanism of the reaction is proposed based on crystal structures and molecular orbital calculations.

-selective ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with the commercial Grubbs "nitrato catalyst" has shown promise for synthesizing stereoregular materials, but it comes with the drawback of losing control over the molecular weight due to the poor initiation rate of the catalyst and the need for stoichiometric ruthenium complex loading. To address these issues, we developed a chain transfer polymerization method that allows for the catalytic synthesis of polymers while controlling the degree of polymerization. This allowed us to produce shorter polymers with exceptional chain-end control.

An efficient and versatile glycosylation methodology is crucial for the systematic synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. A direct intermolecular and an indirect intramolecular methodology have been developed, and the former can be applied to the synthesis of medium-to-long-chain glycans like that of nucleotides and peptides. The development of a generally applicable approach for the stereoselective construction of glycosidic bonds remains a major challenge, especially for the synthesis of 1,2- glycosides such as β-mannosides, β-L-rhamnosides, and β-D-arabinofuranosides with equatorial glycosidic bonds as well as α-D-glucosides with axial ones.

Ketoesterification stands as a pivotal technique in organic synthesis, particularly due to its essential role in the construction of numerous natural products and bioactive compounds. In this study, we have successfully accomplished a visible-light-induced cyclization and diastereoselective direct ketoesterification of cyclohexadienones, facilitating access to cis 6,5-fused tetrahydrobenzofuranone derivatives. The utilization of TEMPO radical quenching experiments has provided insights, suggesting an ionic mechanism underlying this methodology.

We describe the first total synthesis of the unusual cyclopropane-containing indole alkaloid (-)-rauvomine B via a strategy centered upon intramolecular cyclopropanation of a tetracyclic -sulfonyltriazole. Preparation of this precursor evolved through two generations of synthesis, with the ultimately successful route involving a palladium-catalyzed stereospecific allylic amination, a -selective Pictet-Spengler reaction, and ring-closing metathesis as important bond-forming reactions. The key cyclopropanation step was found to be highly dependent on the structure and conformational strain of the indoloquinolizidine -sulfonyltriazole precursor, the origins of which are explored computationally through DFT studies.
