Abstract
A new asymmetric synthetic route to (+)- and (-)-limaspermidine was devised, starting with chirally resolved enantiomerically pure 2-pyrone Diels-Alder cycloadducts. This route utilizes intramolecular Pd-catalyzed aromatic C-H amidation and imino-Diels-Alder reactions to construct the key indoline and indolizidine subunits onto the central cyclohexane core, allowing the straightforward formal total syntheses of both (+)- and (-)-limaspermidine.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,n-remote aminoacetoxylation of cis-alkenes has been developed using PhI(OAc)2 as an oxidant, providing the acetoxylated lactams with excellent enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The sterically hindered pyridine-oxazoline (Pyox) L3 with a tert-butyl group in oxazoline ring and propyl group in C6 position of pyridinyl is vital for the reaction, where the former is good for asymmetric aminopalladation step and the latter for the chain walking process. The enantioenriched lactam products were proven to be good building blocks for the synthesis of azabicycles.

Abstract
Here, an efficient route for accessing the vinylindomorphan skeleton is achieved by rhenium(I) catalysis. This transformation involves the condensation of indoles and alkyne-linked cyclohexanones, followed by intramolecular annulation to build the [3.3.1] bicyclic structure. This protocol complements the synthesis of the structurally complex heterocycles bearing a vinyl indole moiety. In addition, the selected products exhibited moderate cytotoxicity toward human A549 cells.

Abstract
Bridged frameworks are of high chemical and biological significance, being ubiquitous in pharmaceutical molecules and natural products. Specific structures are usually preformed to build these rigid segments at the middle or late stage in the synthesis of polycyclic molecules, resulting in decreased synthetic efficiency and target-specific syntheses. As a logically distinct synthetic strategy, we constructed an allene/ketone-equipped morphan core at the outset through an enantioselective α-allenylation of ketones. Experimental and theoretical results revealed that the high reactivity and enantioselectivity of this reaction are attributed to the cooperative effects of the organocatalyst and metal catalyst. The bridged backbone generated was employed as a structural platform to guide and facilitate the assembly of up to five fusing rings, and the allene and ketone groups thereon were used to precisely install various functionalities at C16 and C20 at the late stage, leading to a concise, collective total synthesis of nine strychnan alkaloids.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the convergent enantioselective total synthesis of himalensine A in 18 steps, enabled by a highly enantio- and diastereoselective construction of the morphan core via a palladium/hydroxy proline co-catalyzed desymmetrization of vinyl-bromide-tethered cyclohexanones. The reaction pathway was illuminated by density functional theory calculations, which support an intramolecular Heck reaction of an in situ-generated enamine intermediate, where exquisite enantioselectivity arises from intramolecular carboxylate coordination to the vinyl palladium species in the rate- and enantio-determining carbopalladation steps. The reaction tolerates diverse N-derivatives, all-carbon quaternary centers, and trisubstituted olefins, providing access to molecular scaffolds found in a range of complex natural products. Following large-scale preparation of a key substrate and installation of a β-substituted enone moiety, the rapid construction of himalensine A was achieved using a highly convergent strategy based on an amide coupling/Michael addition/allylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence which allowed the introduction of three of the five rings in only three synthetic steps (after telescoping). Moreover, our strategy provides a new enantioselective access to a known tetracyclic late-stage intermediate that has been used previously in the synthesis of many Daphniphyllum alkaloids.

Abstract
Herein, an efficient and highly functional group-compatible procedure for controllable transformation of indoles by the combination of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) with n-Bu4NCl·H2O (TBAC) was exploited. Through controlling the amount of PIFA and TBAC from one to three equivalents, 3-chloro-indoles, 3-chloro-2-oxindoles, and 3,3-dichloro-2-oxindoles were obtained, respectively, in satisfactory to excellent yields. The advantages of the protocol include mild conditions, facile process with short reaction time, high yields, satisfactory functional group tolerance, and the use of PIFA, which is an air- and moisture-stable promoter. The mechanism studies showed that the reaction may proceed through a halonium ion species-mediated halogenation-elimination-halogenation stepwise process.

Abstract
A novel protocol has been developed for the preparation of highly functionalized 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (morphan) derivatives by the interesting three-component cascade reaction of 3-formylchromones, 2-naphthol, and heterocyclic ketal aminals (HKAs) in the ionic liquid [BMIM]PF6 promoted by the organic base Et3N. A complex cascade reaction is required, which includes a 1,2-addition, two Michael reactions, two tautomerizations, and an N-alkylation accompanied by a ring-opening reaction and involving the cleavage of one C-O bond and the formation of four bonds (one C-N bond, one C-O bond, and two C-C bonds). As a result, functionalized morphans (5 and 6) bearing naphthalene-structured skeletons were prepared by simple heating of a mixture of 3-formylchromones, 2-naphthols, and HKAs in the environmentally friendly ionic liquid [BMIM]PF6. This protocol can be used in the synthesis of various morphans and is suitable for combinatorial and parallel syntheses of natural-like morphan derivatives. This approach has several advantages such as the use of an environmentally friendly solvent, simple and practical operation (multicomponent one-pot reaction), and satisfactory yields (65-88%).

Abstract
Strychnine is a natural product that, through isolation, structural elucidation and synthetic efforts, shaped the field of organic chemistry. Currently, strychnine is used as a pesticide to control rodents1 because of its potent neurotoxicity2,3. The polycyclic architecture of strychnine has inspired chemists to develop new synthetic transformations and strategies to access this molecular scaffold4, yet it is still unknown how plants create this complex structure. Here we report the biosynthetic pathway of strychnine, along with the related molecules brucine and diaboline. Moreover, we successfully recapitulate strychnine, brucine and diaboline biosynthesis in Nicotiana benthamiana from an upstream intermediate, thus demonstrating that this complex, pharmacologically active class of compounds can now be harnessed through metabolic engineering approaches.

Abstract
Covering: up to November 2021Since its isolation in 1818, strychnine has attracted the attention of a plethora of chemists and pharmacologists who have established its structure, developed total syntheses, and examined its complex pharmacology. While numerous reviews on structure elucidation and total synthesis of strychnine are available, reports on structure-activity relationships (SARs) of this fascinating alkaloid are rare. In this review, we present and discuss structures, synthetic approaches, metabolic transformations, and the diverse pharmacological actions of strychnine and its mono- and dimeric analogues. Particular attention is given to its SARs at glycine receptors (GlyRs) in light of recently published high-resolution structures of strychnine-GlyR complexes. Other pharmacological actions of strychnine and its derivatives, such as their antagonistic properties at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), allosteric modulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors as well as anti-cancer and anti-plasmodial effects are also critically reviewed, and possible future developments in the field are discussed.

Abstract
The complex structures and important biological functions of Strychnos alkaloids have attracted a great deal of attention from synthetic chemists. Herein, we describe the concise asymmetric total syntheses of the Strychnos alkaloids, (-)-dehydrotubifoline, (-)-tubifoline, and (-)-tubifolidine, as well as the formal total synthesis of (-)-strychnine. Our strategy features the construction of the common tetracyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole structure using regioselective Fischer indolization on unsymmetrical cyclic ketones and late-stage functionalization for divergent synthesis. We developed a stepwise Fischer indolization featuring selective formation of enol triflate to solve the challenging regioselectivity problem, leading to the common tetracyclic ring skeleton in these Strychnos alkaloids. The regioselectivity of Fischer indolization on unsymmetrical cyclic ketones was studied on the basis of different types of ring systems and supported by density functional theory calculations. Overall, our success in the construction of this tetracyclic ring secured the syntheses of Strychnos alkaloids and may provide a general method for the total syntheses of various alkaloids containing this skeleton.

Abstract
Known for the complexity of its structure, strychnine remains to be one of the challenging targets of total synthesis. Generations of chemists have contributed to the total synthesis of strychnine since Woodward’s groundbreaking synthesis. Today, new strategies and tactics are still emerging for the optimization of the route of strychnine synthesis. In this review, I discuss the documents about strychnine synthesis in the past five years with the aim of demonstrating the trend of the strategy and tactics of total synthesis.

Abstract
The catalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing bromoaminocyclization of prochiral cyclohexa-1,4-dienes has been achieved by using chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis, providing a range of enantioenriched cis-3a-arylhydroindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter in good yields (up to 78%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). Furthermore, the potential application of this methodology to natural product total synthesis was demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-Mesembrane.

Abstract
A divergent synthesis of skeletally distinct arboridinine and arborisidine was achieved. The central divergent strategy was inspired by the divergent biosynthetic cyclization mode of arboridinine and arborisidine and their hidden topological connection. The branch point was reached through a Michael and Mannich cascade process. A site-selective intramolecular Mannich reaction was developed to construct the tetracyclic core of arboridinine, while a site-selective intramolecular α-amination of ketone was used to access the tetracyclic core of arborisidine. A strategic Peterson olefination through intramolecular nucleophile delivery was able to set up the exocyclic olefin of arboridinine.

Abstract
Herein, a concise asymmetric synthesis of (+)-isostrychnine is achieved in nine longest-linear steps with a 16% overall yield. The key features of this synthesis include the catalytic asymmetric tandem double Michael addition of a tryptamine-derived oxindole to an alkynone to facilely forge the A/B/C ring framework, a one-pot intramolecular dehydrative condensation/lactamization reaction to efficiently establish the E/G ring system, and an allylic diazene rearrangement to introduce the pivotal olefin for the subsequent intramolecular Heck reaction.

Abstract
Monoterpene indole alkaloids are a large class of natural products derived from a single biosynthetic precursor, strictosidine. We describe a synthetic approach to strictosidine that relies on a key facially selective Diels-Alder reaction between a glucosyl-modified alkene and an enal to set the C15-C20-C21 stereotriad. DFT calculations were used to examine the origin of stereoselectivity in this key step, wherein two of 16 possible isomers are predominantly formed. These calculations suggest the presence of a glucosyl unit, also inherent in the strictosidine structure, guides diastereoselectivity, with the reactive conformation of the vinyl glycoside dienophile being controlled by an exo-anomeric effect. (-)-Strictosidine was subsequently accessed using late-stage synthetic manipulations and an enzymatic Pictet-Spengler reaction. Several new natural product analogs were also accessed, including precursors to two unusual aryne natural product derivatives termed "strictosidyne" and "strictosamidyne". These studies provide a strategy for accessing glycosylic natural products and a new platform to access monoterpene indole alkaloids and their derivatives.

Abstract
Biomimetic natural product synthesis is generally straightforward and efficient because of its established feasibility in nature and utility in comprehensive synthesis, and the cost-effectiveness of naturally derived starting materials. On the other hand, nonbiomimetic strategies can be an important option in natural product synthesis since (1) nonbiomimetic synthesis offers more flexibility and can demonstrate the originality of chemists, and (2) the structures of derivatives accessible by nonbiomimetic synthesis can be considerably different from those that are synthesised in nature. This review summarises nonbiomimetic total syntheses of indole alkaloids using alkyne chemistry for constructing core structures, including ergot alkaloids, monoterpene indole alkaloids (mainly corynanthe, aspidosperma, strychnos, and akuammiline), and pyrroloindole and related alkaloids. To clarify the differences between alkyne-based strategies and biosynthesis, the alkynes in nature and the biosyntheses of indole alkaloids are also outlined.

Abstract
Accessing fascinating organic and biological significant indolines via dearomatization of indoles represents one of the most efficient approaches. However, it has been difficult for the dearomatization of the electron deficient indoles. Here we report the studies leading to developing a photoredox mediated Giese-type transformation strategy for the dearomatization of the indoles. The reaction has been implemented for chemoselectively breaking indolyl C=C bonds embedded in the aromatic system. The synthetic power of this strategy has been demonstrated by using structurally diverse indoles bearing common electron-withdrawing groups including (thio)ester, amide, ketone, nitrile and even aromatics at either C2 or C3 positions and ubiquitous carboxylic acids as radical coupling partner with high trans-stereoselectivity (>20:1 dr). This manifold can also be applied to other aromatic heterocycles including pyrroles, benzofurans and benzothiophenes. Furthermore, enantioselective dearomatization of indoles has been achieved by a chiral camphorsultam auxiliary with high diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
We report herein diverse functionalization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs) or tetrahydro-γ-carbolines (THγCs) via oxidative coupling rearrangement. The treatment of THβCs or THγCs with t-BuOOH (TBHP) afforded 3-peroxyindolenines, followed by HCl catalyzed indolation to form unexpected 2-indolyl-3-peroxyindolenines. Further rearrangement of these peroxides allows for rapid access to a skeletally diverse chemical library in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Polycyclic scaffolds are omnipresent in natural products and drugs, and the synthetic strategies and methods toward construction of these scaffolds are of particular importance. Compared to simple cyclic ring systems, polycyclic scaffolds have higher structure complexity and diversity, making them suitable for charting broader chemical space, yet bringing challenges for the syntheses. In this review, we surveyed progress in the past decade on synthetic methods for polycyclic natural product scaffolds, in which the key steps are one-pot reactions involving intermolecular or intramolecular alkyne annulation. Synthetic strategies of selected polycyclic carbocycles and heterocycles with at least three fused, bridged, or spiro rings are discussed with emphasis on the synthetic efficiency and product diversity. Recent examples containing newly developed synthetic concepts or toolkits such as collective and divergent total synthesis, gold catalysis, C–H functionalization, and dearomative cyclization are highlighted. Finally, several “privileged synthetic strategies” for “privileged polycyclic scaffolds” are summarized, with discussion of remained challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
The construction of enantioenriched azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-6-one heterocycles via an enantioselective desymmetrization of allene-linked cyclohexanones, enabled through a dual catalytic system, that provides synchronous activation of the cyclohexanone with a chiral prolinamide and the allene with a copper(i) co-catalyst to deliver the stereodefined bicyclic core, is described. Successful application to oxygen analogues was also achieved, thereby providing a new enantioselective synthetic entry to architecturally complex bicyclic ethereal frameworks. The mechanistic pathway and the origin of enantio- and diastereoselectivities has been uncovered using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
Novel asymmetric synthetic routes to (+)-uleine and (-)-tubifolidine are reported herein. The regioselective formation of enol triflates from 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ketones followed by indolizations of the resultant ene-hydrazides allowed the efficient construction of key indole intermediates, facilitating the total synthesis of the target natural alkaloids.

Abstract
The tryptamine-derived polycyclic bridged bioactive indole alkaloids subincanadines A-G were isolated in 2002 by Ohsaki and coworkers from the bark of the Brazilian medicinal plant Aspidosperma subincanum. Kobayashi proposed that subincanadines D-F could be biosynthetically resulting from stemmadenine via two different pathways and, furthermore, that the subincanadines A-C could be biogenetically resulting from subincanadines D and E. Kam and coworkers, in their focused efforts, isolated five indole alkaloids from Malaysian Kopsia arborea species, namely valparicine, apparicine, arboridinine, arborisidine, and arbornamine in combination with subincanadine E. On the basis of structural features, it has been proposed and proved in some examples that subincanadine E is a biogenetic precursor of these five different bioactive indole alkaloids bearing complex structural architectures. All important information on isolation, characterization, bioactivity, probable biogenetic pathways, and more specifically racemic and enantioselective total synthesis of subincanadine alkaloids and their biogenetic congeners are summarized in the present chapter. Special importance is given to the total synthesis and the synthetic strategies intended therein, comprising a set of main reactions.

We report in this article a cascade reaction strategy for the synthesis of complex N-heterocyclic compounds with contiguous and tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbons. Under the sequential catalysis of a chiral binol-Ti complex and BF3 , cyclopentanone-derived tertiary enamides undergo an enantioselective enamine addition to ketone carbonyls followed by diastereoselective trapping of the resulting acyliminiums by electron-rich aryl moieties to furnish four- and five-membered ring-fused N-heterocyclic products as the sole diastereomers in high yields with up to 99 % ee.

Transient intermediates as highly reactive species are difficult to manipulate due to their poor stability. Stabilization of unstable intermediates for functionalization is an attractive approach, but the practical applications are still rare. Herein, we explore a strategy that could effectively stabilize labile 3-chloroindolenines and significantly improve the lifetime from seconds to weeks. This chemistry was utilized to enable the synthesis of 55 diverse compounds which are unable to be achieved by traditional approach.

Abstract
The monoterpene indole alkaloids, containing over 3000 known members and more than 40 structural types, represent one of the largest natural product families that have proven to be an important drug source. Their complex chemical structures and significant biological activities have rendered these alkaloids attractive targets in the synthetic community for decades. While chemists have developed many synthetic methodologies and tactics toward this end, general strategies allowing divergent access to a large variety of structural types and members of monoterpene indole alkaloids are still limited and highly desirable. Photoredox catalysis has emerged in recent years as a powerful tool to realize chemical transformations via single electron transfer (SET) processes that would otherwise be inaccessible. In particular, when the radical species generated by the visible light photoinduced approach is involved in well-designed cascade reactions, the formation of multiple chemical bonds and the assembly of structurally complex molecules would be secured in a green and economic manner. This protocol might serve to remodel the way of thinking for the preparation of useful pharmaceuticals and complex natural products. Due to a long-standing interest in the synthesis of diverse indole alkaloids, our group previously developed a cyclopropanation strategy ( Qin , Y. Acc. Chem. Res. 2011 , 44 , 447 ) that was versatile to access several intriguing indole alkaloid molecules. With an idea of developing more general synthetic approaches to as many members of various indole alkaloids as possible, we recently disclosed new radical cascade reactions enabled by photoredox catalysis, leading to the collective asymmetric total synthesis of 42 monoterpene indole alkaloids belonging to 7 structural types. Several important discoveries deserve to be highlighted. First, the use of photocatalytic technology allowed us to achieve an unusual reaction pathway that reversed the conventional reactivity between two nucleophilic amine and enamine groups. Second, a crucial nitrogen-centered radical, directly generated from a sulfonamide N-H bond, triggered three types of cascade reactions to deliver indole alkaloid cores with manifold functionalities and controllable diastereoselectivities. Moreover, expansion of this catalytic, scalable, and general methodology permitted the total synthesis of a large collection of indole alkaloids. In this Account, we wish to provide a complete picture of our studies concerning the original synthetic design, method development, and applications in total synthesis. It is anticipated that the visible-light-driven cascade strategy will find further utility in the realm of natural product synthesis.
