Abstract
A detailed mechanistic study of the Z-selective allylic functionalization via thianthrenium salts is presented. Kinetic analyses, deuterium labeling experiments, and computational methods are used to rationalize the observed reactivity and selectivity. We find that the reaction proceeds via a rate-determining and stereodetermining allylic deprotonation of an alkenylthianthrenium species. The Z-configuration of the resultant allylic ylide is translated into the Z-allylic amine product through a sequence of subsequent fast and irreversible steps: protonation to form a Z-allylic thianthrenium electrophile and then regioselective substitution by the nucleophile. In the stereodetermining deprotonation step, computational studies identified a series of stabilizing nonbonding interactions in the Z-alkene-forming transition state that contribute to the stereoselectivity.

Abstract
ConspectusIn this Account, we share the story of the development of catalytic olefin metathesis processes that efficiently deliver a wide range of acyclic and macrocyclic E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenes. The tale starts with us unveiling, in collaboration with Richard Schrock and his team, the blueprint in 2009 for the design of kinetically controlled Z-selective olefin metathesis reactions. This paved the way for the development of Mo-, W-, and Ru-based catalysts and strategies for synthesizing countless linear and macrocyclic Z-olefins. Six years later, in 2015, we found that abundant Z-alkene feedstocks, such as oleic acid, can be directly transformed to high-value and more difficult-to-access alkenes through a cross-metathesis reaction promoted by a Ru-catechothiolate complex that we had developed; the approach, later coined stereoretentive olefin metathesis, was extended to the synthesis of E-alkenes.It was all about disubstituted alkenes until when in 2017 we addressed the challenge of accessing stereodefined Z- and E-trisubstituted alkenes, key to medicine and materials research. These transformations can be most effectively catalyzed by Mo monoaryloxides pyrrolide (MAP) and chloride (MAC) complexes. A central aspect of the advance is the merging of olefin metathesis, which delivered trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides, chlorides, and bromides with cross-coupling. These catalytic and stereoretentive transformations can be used in various combinations, thereby enabling access to assorted Z- or E-trisubstituted alkene. Ensuing work led to the emergence of other transformations involving substrates that can be purchased with high stereoisomeric purity, notably E- and Z-trihalo alkenes. Trisubstituted olefins, Z or E, bearing a chemoselectively and stereoretentively alterable F,Cl-terminus or B(pin),Cl-terminus may, thus, be easily and reliably synthesized. Methods for stereoretentive preparation of other alkenyl bromide regioisomers and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic and thiol esters, nitriles, and acid fluorides followed, along with stereoretentive ring-closing metathesis reactions that afford macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins. Z- and E-Macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins, including those that contain little or no entropic support for cyclization (minimally functionalized) and/or are disfavored under substrate-controlled conditions, can now be synthesized. The utility of this latest chapter in the history of olefin metathesis has been highlighted by applications to the synthesis of several biologically active compounds, as well as their analogues, such as those marked by one or more site-specifically incorporated fluorine atoms or more active but higher energy and otherwise unobtainable conformers.The investigations discussed here, which represent every stereoretentive method that has been reported thus far for preparing a trisubstituted olefin, underscore the inimitable power of Mo-based catalysts. This Account also showcases a variety of mechanistic attributes─some for the first time, and each instrumental in solving a problem. Extensive knowledge of mechanistic nuances will be needed if we are to address successfully the next challenging problem, namely, the development of catalysts and strategies that may be used to synthesize a wide range of tetrasubstituted alkenes, especially those that are readily modifiable, with high stereoisomeric purity.

Abstract
The increase in antibiotic resistance calls for the development of novel antibiotics with new molecular structures and new modes of action. However, in the past few decades only a few novel antibiotics have been discovered and progressed into clinically used drugs. The discovery of a potent anthracimycin antibiotic represents a major advance in the field of antibiotics. Anthracimycin is a structurally novel macrolide natural product with an excellent biological activity profile: (i) potent in vitro antibacterial activity (MIC 0.03-1.0 μg mL-1) against many methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis; (ii) low toxicity to human cells (IC50 > 30 μM); (iii) a novel mechanism of action (inhibiting DNA/RNA synthesis). While the first total synthesis of anthracimycin was elegantly accomplished by Brimble et al. with 20 steps, we report a 10-step asymmetric total synthesis of anthracimycin and anthracimycin B (first total synthesis). Our convergent strategy features (i) one-pot sequential Mukaiyama vinylogous aldol/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to construct trans-decalin with high yield and excellent endo/exo selectivity and (ii) Z-selective ring-closing metathesis to forge the 14-membered ring. In vitro antibacterial evaluation suggested that our synthetic samples exhibited similar antibacterial potency to the naturally occurring anthracimycins against Gram-positive strains. Our short and reliable synthetic route provides a supply of anthracimycins for further in-depth studies and allows medicinal chemists to prepare a library of analogues for establishing structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
In this report, new, easily accessible reagents for highly Z-selective HWE reactions are presented. Alkyl di-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl)phosphonoacetates, structurally similar to Still–Gennari type reagents, were tested in HWE reactions with a series of various aldehydes. Very good Z-selectivity (up to a 98:2 Z:E ratio) was achieved in most cases along with high yields. Application of the new reagents may be a valuable, practical alternative to the well-established Still–Gennari or Ando Z-selective carbonyl group olefination protocols.

Abstract
Herein, the asymmetric synthesis of umuravumbolide (1) is described. The new approach features highly stereoselective transformations (dr ≥ 95:5) to install both stereocenters and the Z olefin, which involve a new radical alkylation, an Ando olefination, and a Krische allylation on a Z allylic alcohol, not reported before. The application of such successful reactions, together with the limited use of protecting groups and concession steps, makes it possible to complete the synthesis in 10 steps, resulting in a 39% overall yield from chiral N-acyl oxazolidinone 2.

Abstract
Abstract
Z-Selective Still–Gennari and Ando modifications of the typically E-selective Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction are highly valuable synthetic tools in organic chemistry. These procedures are based on application of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphonates or diaryl phosphonates, respectively, for the olefination of carbonyl groups. In our research, we present an improved, straightforward, purification-free procedure for the synthesis of these reagents. The key step of our procedure is the reaction of phosphonic dichlorides with the appropriate sodium alkoxides, which results in 52–97% isolated yields of the desired products on a gram scale. The whole three-step process is performed in one pot. Most importantly, the product is obtained in over 95% purity after simple extraction, avoiding column chromatography and distillation. Moreover, we present the synthesis of a novel Still–Gennari type reagent, bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl) phosphonates, which may exhibit improved Z-selectivity in Still–Gennari olefinations.

Abstract
Saxitoxin (STX) is the archetype of a large family (>50) of architecturally distinct, bisguanidinium natural products. Among this collection of isolates, two members, 11-saxitoxinethanoic acid (11-SEA) and zetekitoxin AB (ZTX), are unique, bearing carbon substitution at C11. A desire to efficiently access these compounds has motivated the development of new tactical approaches to a late-stage C11-ketone intermediate 26, designed to enable C-C bond formation using any one of a number of possible reaction technologies. Highlights of the synthesis of 26 include a metal-free, silylpyrrole oxidative dearomatization reaction and a vinylsilane epoxidation-rearrangement cascade to generate the requisite ketone. Nucleophilic addition to 26 makes possible the preparation of unnatural C11-substituted STXs. Olefination of this ketone is also demonstrated and, when followed by a redox-neutral isomerization reaction, affords 11-SEA.

Abstract
An efficient telescoped method for the rapid assembly of multisubstituted cyclohexenes is presented herein. The whole process nicely merges photoredox-promoted alkene difunctionalization via remote functional group migration with concomitant intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination. The characteristic feature of this protocol resides in the fact that the follow-up requiring ketone functionality for ring-closing olefination is in situ unveiled from the otherwise inert tertiary alcohol by the preceding alkene difunctionalization.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed intermolecular cascade (4+3) cyclocondensation of salicylaldehydes and vinylcyclopropanes is reported. A key feature of the reaction is the use of a phosphonate group as an acceptor moiety on the cyclopropane, exploiting its propensity to undergo olefination with aldehydes. Subsequent O-allylation enabled the formation of a range of substituted benzoxepinsWith a novel chiral ligand, the products were obtained in generally good yield and with reasonable enantioselectivity.

Abstract
AbstractThe Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction is one of the most reliable olefination reaction and can be broadly applied in organic chemistry and natural product synthesis with excellent selectivity. Within the last few years HWE reaction conditions have been optimized and new reagents developed to overcome challenges in the total syntheses of natural products. This review highlights the application of HWE olefinations in total syntheses of structurally different natural products covering 2015 to 2020. Applied HWE reagents and reactions conditions are highlighted to support future synthetic approaches and serve as guideline to find the best HWE conditions for the most complicated natural products.1 Introduction and Historical Background2 Applications of HWE2.1 Cyclization by HWE Reactions2.2.1 Formation of Medium- to Larger-Sized Rings2.2.2 Formation of Small- to Medium-Sized Rings2.3 Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Groups2.4 Synthesis of Substituted C=C Bonds2.5 Late-Stage Modifications by HWE Reactions2.6 HWE Reactions on Solid Supports2.7 Synthesis of Poly-Conjugated C=C Bonds2.8 HWE-Mediated Coupling of Larger Building Blocks2.9 Miscellaneous3 Summary and Outlook

Abstract
An asymmetric Michael addition of malononitrile to vinyl phosphonates was accomplished by hydrogen bond-enhanced bifunctional halogen bond (XB) catalysis. NMR titration experiments were used to demonstrate that halogen bonding, with the support of hydrogen-bonding, played a key role in the activation of the Michael acceptors through the phosphonate group. This is the first example of the use of XBs for the activation of organophosphorus compounds in synthesis. In addition, the iodo-perfluorophenyl group proved to be a better directing unit than different iodo- and nitro-substituted phenyl groups. The developed approach afforded products with up to excellent yields and diastereoselectivities and up to good enantioselectivities.
