A rhodium/chiral diene catalytic system is reported for the reaction of enone-diones and arylboronic acids that allows the switchable synthesis of chiral bicyclic products and acyclic products in a controlled manner. The production of bicyclic products containing four contiguous stereocenters is assumed to proceed through the enantioselective arylrhodation of enone-diones with CsCO, forming a rhodium-enolate intermediate, followed by desymmetrization of the diastereotopic diones via aldol cyclization with quantitative diastereoselection and excellent enantiomeric excess. The production of acyclic products is assumed to proceed through the enantioselective hydroarylation of enone-diones with excellent enantiomeric excess in which the aldol cyclization is significantly inhibited by the choice of EtN as a base. The selectivity for bicyclic products (via tandem arylation-aldol cyclization) and acyclic products (via hydroarylation) is rationalized by the proposed model.

A new stereoselective [4+2] annulation method for constructing tetracyclic indolines by reacting indoles with bicyclic N-substituted cyclobutanes has been developed. Using Sc(OTf) as a catalyst, a series of tetracyclic indolines with four continued stereogenic carbon centers have been obtained in ≤86% yields as single diastereomers. This reaction offers an accessible way for the rapid construction of the core structures of biologically active natural products like paucidirinine, deethylibophyllidine, and ibophyllidine.

Janustatin A is a potently cytotoxic polyketide alkaloid produced at trace amounts by the marine bacterial plant symbiont . Its biosynthetic terminus features an unusual pyridine-containing bicyclic system of unclear origin, in which polyketide and amino acid extension units appear reversed compared to the order of enzymatic modules in the polyketide synthase (PKS)-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) assembly line. To elucidate unknown steps in heterocycle formation, we first established robust genome engineering tools in .

A modular approach was developed for the first catalytic asymmetric total syntheses of naturally occurring C30 terpene quinone methides and their non-natural stereoisomers, which feature the presence of an unprecedented spiro[4.4]nonane-containing 6-6-6-5-5-3 hexacyclic skeleton. Resting on a chiral phosphinamide-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of 2,2-disubstituted cyclohexane-1,3-dione, a concise route for the synthesis of enantioenriched 6-6 bicyclic fragment was developed.

A fully bio-based polyester polyol based on isosorbide (ISB) and dimer fatty acid (DA) was synthesized through esterification. An ISB-based polyester polyol (DIS) was developed to synthesize a bio-based polyurethane elastomer (PUE) with enhanced mechanical and self-healing properties. The rigid bicyclic structure of ISB improved tensile properties, while the urethane bonds formed between the hydroxyl groups in ISB and isocyanate exhibited reversible characteristics at elevated temperatures, significantly enhancing the self-healing performance of DIS-based PUE compared to the control PUE (self-healing efficiency: 98% for DIS-based PUE vs.

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a growing class of natural products biosynthesized from a genetically encoded precursor peptide. RiPPs have attracted attention for the ability to generate and screen libraries of these compounds for useful biological activities. To facilitate this screening, it is useful to be able to do so with the leader peptide still present.
