Being different from 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyrans (2,6-cis-THPs), the corresponding 2,6-trans-THPs are thermodynamically less stable and more challenging to construct. The fact that there are many natural products and/or bioactive molecules containing this 2,6-trans-THP subunit has led to the development of many efficient synthetic approaches to access 2,6-trans-THPs. This review summarizes various synthetic methods reported for this structural motif and/or related applications in the total synthesis of natural products.1 Introduction2 Nucleophilic Addition to an Oxocarbenium Ion (Strategy A)3 Intramolecular Oxa-Michael Addition (Strategy B)4 Intermolecular Michael Addition to Dihydropyranones (Strategy A)5 The Heck–Matsuda (Strategy A) Reaction and Oxa-Heck Cyclization (Strategy B)6 Intramolecular SN2 Substitution and Epoxide Opening (Strategy B)7 Miscellaneous Methods8 Conclusion and Outlook

AbstractBridged medium-sized bicyclo[m.n.2] ring systems are common in natural products and potent pharmaceuticals, and pose a great synthetic challenge. Chemistry for making bicyclo[m.n.2] ring systems remains underdeveloped. Currently, there are no general reactions available for the single-step synthesis of various bridged bicyclo[m.n.2] ring systems from acyclic precursors. Here, we report an unusual type II intramolecular (3+2) dipolar cycloaddition strategy for the syntheses of various bridged bicyclo[m.n.2] ring systems. This rhodium-catalysed cascade reaction provides a relatively general strategy for the direct and efficient regioselective and diastereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized and synthetically challenging bridged medium-sized polycyclic systems. Asymmetric total synthesis of nakafuran-8 was accomplished using this method as a key step. Quantum mechanical calculations demonstrate the mechanism of this transformation and the origins of its multiple selectivities. This reaction will inspire the design of the strategies to make complex bioactive molecules with bridged medium-sized polycyclic systems.

Organic azides have been exploited since their discovery because of their high reactivities. Various organic reactions using azides have been synthetically applied in chemical biology pharmaceuticals medicinal and agricultural areas. In this review we present some recent applications and developments of organic azides in the total synthesis of natural products (mostly within five years) especially alkaloids. We focus not only on application examples of organic azides but also show their preparation methods including recently reported procedures concerning their decomposing and reducing methods in the syntheses of bioactive molecules.

Chirality is one of the most important attributes for its presence in a vast majority of bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Asymmetric organocatalysis methods have emerged as a powerful methodology for the construction of highly enantioenriched structural skeletons of the target molecules. Due to their extensive application of organocatalysis in the total synthesis of bioactive molecules and some of them have been used in the industrial synthesis of drugs have attracted increasing interests from chemists. Among the chiral organocatalysts, chiral secondary amines (MacMillan’s catalyst and Jorgensen’s catalyst) have been especially considered attractive strategies because of their impressive efficiency. Herein, we outline advances in the asymmetric total synthesis of natural products and relevant drugs by using the strategy of chiral secondary amine catalyzed reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in the last eighteen years.
