Fortuneicyclidins A and B are a pair of recently isolated alkaloids with an unprecedented rearranged polycyclic skeleton possessing multiple complex stereocenters and functionalization. In this work, highly stereocontrolled asymmetric total syntheses for title alkaloids were outlined. Key features include an underexplored Ir-catalyzed α-allylation of aldehyde to strategically install a vicinal N-substituted quaternary center and a tertiary stereocenter, Heck and RCM reactions to construct the critical polycyclic framework rapidly, two different tandem oxidation-transannular aldol cyclization processes, one through ozonolysis and another via Swern oxidation, to forge the last ring for fortuneicyclidins A and B, respectively. In this approach, the challenging C-2 hydroxyl group can be installed stereospecifically.

In human aging, liver aging per se not only increases susceptibility to liver diseases but also increases vulnerability of other organs given its central role in regulating metabolism. Total liver function tends to be well maintained in the healthy elderly, so liver aging is generally difficult to identify early. In response to this critical challenge, the Aging Biomarker Consortium of China has formulated an expert consensus on biomarkers of liver aging by synthesizing the latest scientific literature, comprising insights from both scientists and clinicians.

In this study, we developed a novel, inexpensive and highly antibacterial magnetic nanocomposite composed of FeO nanoparticles synthesised from spent pickling liquors, coated with chitosan and then integrated with polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (FeO@CS@PHMG) using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a crosslinking agent. The obtained results revealed that the synthesised nanocomposite exhibited high antibacterial activity against and .

The first asymmetric total synthesis of the tetraterpenoid (+)-7,7'-bistaxodione () via a unique late-stage electrochemical oxidative dimerization of a diterpenoid quinone methide tumor Inhibitor (+)-taxodione () has been described. The naturally occurring monomer was synthesized from aromatic abietane diterpenoid, ferruginol (1e) . Further, an efficient convergent synthetic route toward the naturally occurring aromatic abietane terpenoids has been shown via a Lewis acid-mediated diastereoselective cationic epoxy-ene cyclization.

Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Vallesamidine and Schizozygane Alkaloids.

A general streamlined strategy for the enantioselective total syntheses of the schizozygane family of natural products and related alkaloid vallesamidine is described. Specifically, a catalytic enantioconvergent cross-coupling sets the quaternary stereogenic center in a pluripotent intermediate adorned with an olefin and three orthogonal carboxylate groups, upon which the modularity of the synthesis relies. A late-stage catalytic oxidative lactamization of an alkyne is instrumental in the first-generation synthesis of the schizozygane alkaloids.
