Herein, we report the first environmentally friendly systematic fluoroalkoxylation reactions in bicyclic systems. New oxyfluorination products were obtained with excellent yields (up to 98%) via Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement using benzonorbornadiene and the chiral natural compound (+)-camphene as bicyclic alkenes, selectfluor as an electrophilic fluorine source, and water and various alcohols as nucleophile sources. The structure of bicyclic oxy- and alkoxyfluorine compounds was determined by NMR and QTOF-MS analyses.

A novel platform for the skeletal editing of single C-C bonds via a single-carbon insertion has been developed using diazirines. This strategy involves the photogeneration of arylchlorocarbenes as carbynoid species that undergo site-selective carbene insertion into tertiary C-H bonds and a subsequent Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement promoted by a silver salt. Our skeletal editing strategy based on a formal selective carbyne C-C bond insertion has been demonstrated in six core-to-core conversions, including linear and cyclic benzylic substrates, alkanes and late-stage functionalizations.

Cucurbalsaminones B (1) and C (2) are two abeo-cucurbitane triterpenoids with a unique 5/6/3/6/5-fused ring system and exhibit potent multidrug resistance (MDR)-reversing activity. Herein, we report the first synthesis of these two natural products, both of them were accomplished in 14 steps from commercially available inexpensive resource compound lanosterol. Key features of this synthesis include a biomimetic tandem Wagner-Meerwein type lanostane-to-cucurbitane rearrangement followed by a bioinspired photochemical oxa-di-π-methane (ODPM) rearrangement to complete the skeleton construction and an Eosin Y photoinduced Barton-McCombie deoxygenation to realize the challenging oxidation state adjustment of the sterically hindered C11 position.

We report in this paper a novel Cu-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted 1-pyrrolines. The reaction of β,γ-unsaturated oxime esters 4 with terminal alkynes 5 in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc) and 2,2'-biquinoline affords the corresponding 1,6-enynimines, which undergo a highly stereoselective Alder-ene reaction to afford 1-pyrrolines with concomitant generation of a quaternary carbon and a 2-azadiene motif. It represents an unusual [4+1] heteroannulation reaction wherein terminal alkynes act as a one carbon donor and are 1,1-difunctionalized.

Presilphiperfolan-8β-ol synthase (BcBOT2), a substrate-promiscuous sesquiterpene cyclase (STC) of fungal origin, is capable of converting two new farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) derivatives modified at C7 of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) bearing either a hydroxymethyl group or a methoxymethyl group. These substrates were chosen based on a computationally generated model. Biotransformations yielded five new oxygenated terpenoids.
