(−)-Pavidolide B is a complex tetracyclic diterpenoid with seven contiguous stereocenters, and classical total syntheses have recently been reported. In this work, an annulation strategy of carbanion cascade reaction is formulated for accomplishing an asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-pavidolide B in just 4 linear steps. The key reaction is a tandem intramolecular Michael addition, which constructs two 5-membered rings and five stereocenters in a highly selective fashion in one step. This work represents one of the most efficient cases of total synthesis and demonstrates that synthetic access to complex therapeutic natural product can be greatly simplified.

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.

The palhinine family of Lycopodium alkaloids were first reported in 2010, which feature an intriguing isotwistane carbon cage and a nine-membered azonane ring. It is noteworthy that the tetracyclic 5/6/6/9 skeleton was unprecedented in Lycopodium alkaloids before their seminal discovery. Over the past decade, extensive synthetic efforts stemming from seven research groups have resulted in two racemic total syntheses to date. This review article takes the opportunity to survey these efforts and achievements so as to promote further research towards the asymmetric total synthesis of palhinine alkaloids.

This account describes our group’s latest research in the field of diversity-oriented synthesis of natural products via gold-catalyzed cascade reactions. We present two general strategies based on gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization: a gold-catalyzed cascade reaction of 1,7-diynes and a pinacol-terminated gold-catalyzed cascade reaction. We highlight our development of synthetic methods for the construction of biologically active natural products by using these two strategies.1 Introduction2 Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions of 1,7-Diynes2.1 Collective Synthesis of C15 Oxygenated Drimane-Type Sesquiterpenoids2.2 Synthesis of Left-Wing Fragment of Azadirachtin I2.3 Collective Synthesis of Cladiellins3 Pinacol-Terminated Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reaction3.1 Asymmetric Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Cortistatins3.2 Total Synthesis of Orientalol F3.3 Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (–)-Farnesiferol C4 Summary and Outlook

The first asymmetric total syntheses of talienbisflavan A and bis-8,8′-epicatechinylmethane as well as a facile synthesis of bis-8,8′-catechinylmethane has been accomplished from readily available starting materials by using a newly developed direct regioselective methylenation of catechin derivatives as one of the key steps.

The first total synthesis of the complex hexacylic Daphniphyllum alkaloid (–)-daphlongamine H in enantioenriched form has been accomplished. Key to the success of the strategy are a complexity-building Mannich reaction, efficient cyclizations, and a highly diastereoselective hydrogenation to assemble multigram quantities of the tricyclic core bearing four contiguous stereocenters. Following construction of the hydro-indene substructure by means of a Pauson–Khand reaction, endgame redox manipulations delivered the natural product. Importantly, the synthetic studies have also given access to (–)-isodaphlongamine H and led to a revision of the reported structure of deoxyisocalyciphylline B, which resulted in the proposal of a modified biosynthetic pathway to the calyciphylline B-type alkaloids.

Abstract An asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-21-epi-eburnamonine has been achieved. Key features of the synthesis include a visible-light photocatalytic intra-/intramolecular radical cascade reaction to assemble the tetracyclic ABCD ring system, and a highly diastereoselective Johnson-Claisen rearrangement to establish the C20 all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.
