Background: The Diels-Alder reaction has been widely utilised in the syntheses of biologically important natural products over the years and continues to greatly impact modern synthetic methodology. Recent discovery of chiral organocatalysts, auxiliaries and ligands in organic synthesis has paved the way for their application in Diels-Alder chemistry with the goal to improve efficiency as well as stereochemistry. Objective: The review focuses on asymmetric syntheses of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products that utilize chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes through various illustrative examples. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that a significant amount of research has been done investigating various types of catalysts and chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes for the enantioselective synthesis of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products. The results have demonstrated improved yield and enantioselectivity. Much emphasis has been placed on the synthesis but important mechanistic work aimed at understanding the enantioselectivity has also been discussed.

A concise route to the common polyketide fragment5of crocacin A-D (1-4) is presented which has previously been converted into all members of this fungicidal and cytotoxic family of dipeptidic natural products by various means. Our synthesis features asyn-selective titanium aldol reaction controlled by a valinol-derived auxiliary, a zinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzedanti-selective addition of propargyl mesylate10to the chiral aldehyde9, as well as a comparison of palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions for the formation of the diene moiety of the target.

The scanning of Silicon Carbide (SiC) epitaxy wafers for defects by ultraviolet (UV) laser or lamps is widely prevalent. In this work, we document the effects of UV light excitation on the SiC epitaxy material. An increase in background photoluminescence (PL) is observed after repeated scans. The effect of this increase on defect detection is shown. Optimal surface treatments to recover the material back to the original state are demonstrated. Further, some surface treatments are proposed which reduce the effect of the UV light excitation and prevent to a large extent the rise in background PL.
