In this Account, we describe our studies on the total synthesis of several natural products using intramolecular Nozaki–Hiyama–Takai–Kishi (NHTK) reactions. In each synthesis, an NHTK reaction is used to efficiently construct a medium-sized ring. These examples demonstrate the utility of the intramolecular NHTK reaction in natural product synthesis.1 Introduction2 Total Synthesis of (+)-Pestalotiopsin A3 Total Synthesis of (+)-Cytosporolide A4 Total Synthesis of (+)-Vibsanin A5 Total Syntheses of (+)-Aquatolide and Related Humulanolides6 Conclusion

We report the enantioselective total syntheses of mavacurans alkaloids, (+)-taberdivarine H, (+)-16-hydoxymethyl-pleiocarpamine, (+)-16-epi-pleiocarpamine, and their postulated biosynthetic precursor 16-formyl-pleiocarpamine. This family of monoterpene indole alkaloids is a target of choice since some of its members are subunits of intricate bisindole alkaloids such as bipleiophylline. Inspired by the biosynthetic hypothesis, we explored an oxidative coupling approach from the geissoschizine framework to form the N1-C16 bond. Quaternization of the aliphatic nitrogen was key to achieve the oxidative coupling induced by KHMDS/I<sub>2 </sub>since<sub> </sub>it hides the nucleophilicity of the aliphatic nitrogen and locks the required cis conformation.

Pladienolides, an emerging class of naturally occurring spliceosome modulators, exhibit interesting structural features, such as highly substituted 12-membered macrocycles and epoxide-containing diene side chains. The potential of pladienolides as anti-cancer agents is confirmed by H3B-8800, a synthetic analog of this natural product class, which is currently under Phase I clinical trials. Since its isolation in 2004 and the first total synthesis in 2007, a dozen total syntheses and synthetic approaches toward the pladienolide class have been reported to date. This review focuses on the eight completed total syntheses of naturally occurring pladienolides or their synthetic analogs, in addition to a synthetic approach to the main framework of the natural product.

Important biomimetic steps in natural product synthesis have been promoted by transition metals, as exemplified by this beautiful ruthenium-catalyzed rearrangement of an endoperoxide into elysiapyrone A. Such reactions are supposed to occur during the biosynthesis, yet under different catalysis conditions.
