A formal enone α-arylation is described. This metal-free transformation relies on the I(III)-mediated skeletal reorganization of silyl enol ethers and features mild conditions, good yields, and high stereoselectivities for β-substituted enones.

Electronically mismatched Diels-Alder reaction between two electron-deficient components is synthetically useful and yet underdeveloped under thermal conditions. Herein, a photoinduced formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition of enone with a variety of electron-deficient dienes is described. Key to the success of this stepwise methodology relies on a C - C bond cleavage/rearrangement of the cyclobutane based overbred intermediate via diversified mechanistic pathways.

The norcembranoid and cembranoid diterpenoids represent an intriguing class of natural products isolated from marine sources. Their chemical synthesis has been a challenging and exciting field of research over the past two decades, owing largely to their structural complexity. We recently disclosed a total synthesis of a member of this class, ineleganolide, in a 23 step longest linear sequence.

Herein, we present a unified chemical synthesis of three subgroups of cephalotaxus diterpenoids. Key to the success lies in adopting a synthetic strategy that is inspired by biosynthesis but is opposite in nature. By employing selective one-carbon introduction and ring expansion operations, we have successfully converted cephalotane-type C dinorditerpenoids (using cephanolide B as a starting material) into troponoid-type C norditerpenoids and intact cephalotane-type C diterpenoids.

ConspectusThe development of catalytic activation modes provides a reliable and effective platform for designing new enantioselective reactions and preparing chiral molecules with diverse structures. Chiral aldehyde catalysis is an attractive concept in asymmetric catalysis, which utilizes a chiral aldehyde catalyst to promote the asymmetric hydroamination of allylic amines, the asymmetric α-functionalization of primary amines, or the asymmetric transamination of α-keto esters. Typically, the chiral aldehyde-catalyzed asymmetric α-functionalization of primary amines provides an efficient and straightforward method for the synthesis of α-functionalized chiral amines, which does not require any additional protection or deprotection manipulations of the amine group.

The stereodivergent asymmetric synthesis of 2,5-trans/cis pyrrolidines by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using two different types of activated alkenes is described. When ylidene-isoxazolones were employed as dipolarophiles, the Ag/(S,S )-iPr-FcPHOX-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of imino lactones proceeded with 2,5-trans selectivity. Subsequent decarboxylation of the isoxazolone rings produced pyrrolidines with 2,5-trans stereoretention.
