Abstract
We describe the convergent total syntheses of strasseriolides A and B, which are potent antimalarial agents recently isolated from an unnamed plant found in a remote region of New Zealand. Both natural products exhibited potent activity against malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The synthesis involved asymmetric syn-aldol, asymmetric alkylation, and asymmetric Johnson-Claisen rearrangement to set six of the seven chiral centers of strasseriolide B. The synthesis also highlights the formation of an 18-membered macrolactone from a diacid by using a Yamaguchi macrolactonization protocol. Other key transformations involved Grubbs' cross-metathesis, selective 1,4-reduction, hydrostannylation reaction, and NHK coupling reaction. The convergent synthesis of strasseriolide A required 27 total synthetic steps and 16 longest linear steps from known readily available intermediates.

Abstract
N-Sulfinyl metalloenamines, derived from geometry-defined β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides, undergo conjugate addition-elimination reaction with β-tosyl nitroolefin to afford α-sulfonylvinylated ketimines with high stereocontrol. Further desulfonylation using sodium naphthalenide gives carbonyl surrogates bearing a less-accessible acyclic quaternary α-stereocenters substituted with an ethenyl group and two sterically and electronically similar groups (e.g., methyl and ethyl). Synthetic application of the described protocol was demonstrated by enantioselective synthesis of (S)-bakuchiol.

Abstract
Current small-molecule-based SARS-CoV-2 treatments have limited global accessibility and pose the risk of inducing viral resistance. Therefore, a marine algae and cyanobacteria extract library was screened for natural products that could inhibit two well-defined and validated COVID-19 drug targets, disruption of the spike protein/ACE-2 interaction and the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2. Following initial screening of 86 extracts, we performed an untargeted metabolomic analysis of 16 cyanobacterial extracts. This approach led to the isolation of an unusual saturated fatty acid, jobosic acid (2,5-dimethyltetradecanoic acid, 1). We confirmed that 1 demonstrated selective inhibitory activity toward both viral targets while retaining some activity against the spike-RBD/ACE-2 interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant. To initially explore its structure-activity relationship (SAR), the methyl and benzyl ester derivatives of 1 were semisynthetically accessed and demonstrated acute loss of bioactivity in both SARS-CoV-2 biochemical assays. Our efforts have provided copious amounts of a fatty acid natural product that warrants further investigation in terms of SAR, unambiguous determination of its absolute configuration, and understanding of its specific mechanisms of action and binding site toward new therapeutic avenues for SARS-CoV-2 drug development.

Abstract
The metalloenamines, formed by NH-deprotonation of β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides, can undergo reactions with commercially available electrophilic cyanating reagents such as tosyl cyanide (TsCN) or 3-oxo-1,2-benziodoxole-1(3H)-carbonitrile (CBX). Through the utilization of appropriate stereoisomers of enesulfinamides, this method enables the selective synthesis of any of the four stereoisomers of α,α-disubstituted β-sulfinylimino nitriles, which feature acyclic quaternary stereocenters and are typically more challenging to synthesize. These compounds can then undergo stereoselective nucleophilic addition, leading to the creation of valuable enantioenriched multisubstituted β-amino carbonyl surrogates with a high degree of structural diversity.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of meso-1,4-dialdehydes based on the oxidative cleavage of cyclobutanediol derivatives using polymer-supported periodate was developed. The meso-1,4-dialdehydes were obtained in up to >99% yield and subsequently employed in Ir-catalyzed asymmetric Tishchenko reactions to give the corresponding chiral lactones, which are versatile synthetic intermediates, in good yield with moderate enantiomeric excess. The catalytically active species was identified by means of cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
A stereocontrolled protocol was developed to construct less accessible fluorine-containing acyclic tetrasubstituted stereocenters bearing two sterically and electronically similar alkyl groups at the α-position of carbonyls. In this process, tBuOK-promoted stereospecific α-deprotonation of α,α-disubstituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines or NH deprotonation of β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides generates geometry-defined multisubstituted metalloenamines, followed by stereoselective electrophilic fluorination with the N-fluoro ammonium salt of quinine, affording the acyclic α-fluorinated ketimines with excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Enamine and iminium ion-mediated asymmetric organocatalysis was not successful in achieving highly stereoselective α-chlorination of acyclic α,α-disubstituted carbonyls. To address this limitation, an alternative method was developed, which involved the use of geometry-defined persubstituted enesulfinamides to intercept the electrophilic chlorinating reagent. This approach enables the asymmetric construction of challenging acyclic α,α-disubstituted α-chlorinated ketimines with a high degree of stereoselectivity. The use of chloramine-T, a cost-effective and stable chlorine source rarely utilized in asymmetric electrophilic chlorination, plays a crucial role in achieving superior stereocontrol.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of carbonyl compounds represents a long-standing challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Herein, we advance a dual biocatalytic platform for the efficient asymmetric alkylation of α-keto acids. First, guided by our recently obtained crystal structures, we develop SgvMVAV as a general biocatalyst for the enantioselective methylation, ethylation, allylation and propargylation of a range of α-keto acids with total turnover numbers (TTNs) up to 4,600. Second, we mine a family of bacterial HMTs from Pseudomonas species sharing less than 50% sequence identities with known HMTs and evaluated their activities in SAM regeneration. Our best performing HMT from P. aeruginosa, PaHMT, displays the highest SAM regeneration efficiencies (TTN up to 7,700) among HMTs characterized to date. Together, the synergistic use of SgvMVAV and PaHMT affords a fully biocatalytic protocol for asymmetric methylation featuring a record turnover efficiency, providing a solution to the notorious problem of asymmetric alkylation.

Abstract
In the presence of boron trifluoride, conjugate addition of organocuprates to α-substituted α,β-unsaturated N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines provides facile access to acyclic β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides with high ratios of geometric isomers. Diverse and challenging to synthesize, multisubstituted aza-enolates bearing two electronically and sterically similar β-substituents, which are important precursors for asymmetric construction of the less accessible acyclic quaternary or tetrasubstituted stereocenters at the α-position of ketimines, can be efficiently prepared in good yields with high stereocontrol.

Abstract
Carboacyloxylation of internal alkynes is emerging as a powerful and straightforward strategy for enol ester synthesis. However, the reported examples come with limitations, including the utilization of noble metal catalysts, the control of regio- and Z/E selectivity, and an application in the synthesis of enol carbonates. Herein, a boron Lewis acid-catalyzed intermolecular carboacyloxylation of ynamides with esters to access fully substituted acyclic enol esters in high yield with generally high Z/E selectivity (up to >96 : 4) is reported. Most importantly, readily available allylic carbonates are also compatible with this difunctionalization reaction, representing an atom-economic, catalytic and stereoselective protocol for the construction of acyclic β,β-disubstituted enol carbonates of amides for the first time. The application of the carboacyloxylation products to decarboxylative allylations provided a ready access to enantioenriched α-quaternary amides. Moreover, experimental studies and theoretical calculations were performed to illustrate the reaction mechanism and rationalize the stereochemistry.

Abstract
A Mannich reaction of deprotonated, highly enantioenriched α,α-disubstituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines with isatin-derived ketimines was developed to prepare 3-amino-3-substituted oxindoles bearing an acyclic quaternary stereogenic carbon substituted with two sterically similar groups. The excellent stereocontrol of the deprotonation enabled the formation of metalloenamine intermediates with stereodefined geometry, while the precise facial selectivity of the C-C bond formation allowed the construction of contiguous quaternary and tetrasubstituted stereocenters with excellent stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Disclosed here is a catalytic asymmetric azidation reaction for the efficient synthesis of α-azido ketones bearing a labile tertiary stereocenter. With a superb chiral squaramide catalyst, a mild asymmetric formal H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides proceeded with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity. This organocatalytic process not only complements the previous α-azidation approaches for the formation of quaternary stereocenters and mostly for 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, but also has advantages over the well-known metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbene insertion chemistry using α-diazocarbonyl compounds. Detailed mechanistic studies via control reactions and NMR studies provided important insights into the reaction pathway, which features reversible protonation and dynamic kinetic resolution. The curiosity in mechanism also led to the development of a simplified alternative protocol with a cheaper HN3 source. An organocatalytic asymmetric H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed, providing efficient access to α-azido ketones bearing labile tertiary stereocenters and complementing the metal carbene insertion chemistry.![]()

Abstract
Vicinal quaternary-tertiary carbon stereocenters were constructed with excellent stereoselectivity via aza-enolization of enantioenriched acyclic N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines bearing two sterically similar α-linear alkyl substituents followed by conjugate addition to nitroalkenes. Further changes of the absolute configuration of the sulfinyl group and/or the α-stereocenter in the ketimine allowed the facile stereodivergent synthesis of all four diastereomers of the Michael-type alkylation adducts. This reaction is a successful example of acyclic stereocontrol based on stereoselective α-deprotonation for the formation of fully substituted aza-enolates from ketone derivatives.

Abstract
A gram-scale synthesis of iboxamycin, an antibiotic candidate bearing a fused bicyclic amino acid residue, is presented. A pivotal transformation in the route involves an intramolecular hydrosilylation-oxidation sequence to set the ring-fusion stereocenters of the bicyclic scaffold. Other notable features of the synthesis include a high-yielding, highly diastereoselective alkylation of a pseudoephenamine amide, a convergent sp3-sp2 Negishi coupling, and a one-pot transacetalization-reduction reaction to form the target compound's oxepane ring. Implementation of this synthetic strategy has provided ample quantities of iboxamycin to allow for its in vivo profiling in murine models of infection.

Abstract
An in situ generated cationic Ir-catalyst isomerizes simple allylic silyl ethers into valuable, fully substituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers. Importantly, by judicious choice of substrate, either of the two possible stereoisomers of a given enolate derivative is accessible with complete stereoselectivity. One-pot isomerization-aldol and isomerization-allylation processes illustrate the synthetic utility of this method.

Abstract
Simple treatment of chiral titanium(IV) enolates with diacyl peroxides produces highly diastereoselective decarboxylative alkylations to efficiently deliver the corresponding adducts, most of which are not accessible through any of the current alkylating procedures. Such an unprecedented alkylation proceeds through an SET process that triggers the decomposition of the peroxide into a carbon-centered radical that finally combines with the resulting Cα radical. The procedure has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of arundic acid.

Abstract
Treating chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines with potassium hexamethyldisilazide (or potassium tert-butoxide) and methyl triflate gives N-methylated N-tert-butanesulfinyl enamine intermediates that undergo stereoselective [2,3]-rearrangement to afford α-sulfenyloxy ketones with excellent enantiopurities. This cascade of enamination-N-methylation-rearrangement was even used to generate acyclic tertiary α-hydroxy ketones bearing two α-substituents showing negligible differences in bulkiness, such as methyl and ethyl groups.

Abstract
Pseudoephedrine-derived dianionic Myers enolates were generated using sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) in THF solution. The reactivities and selectivities of the disodium salts largely mirror those of the dilithium salts but without the requisite large excesses of inorganic salts (LiCl) or mandated dilute solutions. The disodium salts require careful control of temperature to preclude deleterious aggregate aging effects traced to changes in the aggregate structure and intervening O-alkylations. Structural studies and density functional theory (DFT) computations show a dominant highly symmetric polyhedron quite different from the lithium analogue. No enolate-NaDA mixed aggregates are observed with excess NaDA. Rate studies show an alkylation mechanism involving an intervening tetramer-monomer pre-equilibrium followed by rate-limiting alkylation of tetrasolvated monomers. DFT computations were conducted to explore the possible influences on stereochemistry. A crystal deriving from samples aged at ambient temperature contains six dianionic subunits and two monoanionic (alkoxide-only) subunits. A new preparation of concentrated solutions of NaDA in THF solution is described.

Abstract
Direct enantioselective α-alkylation of 2-alkylpyridines provides access to chiral pyridines via an operationally simple protocol that obviates the need for prefunctionalization or preactivation of the substrate. The alkylation is accomplished using chiral lithium amides as noncovalent stereodirecting auxiliaries. Crystallographic and solution NMR studies provide insight into the structure of well-defined chiral aggregates in which a lithium amide reagent directs asymmetric alkylation.

Abstract
Addition of the lithium salts of chiral N-substituted tert-butanesulfinamides to ketenes and subsequent silylation initiates stereoselective [2,3]-rearrangement, which affords enantioenriched α,α-disubstituted α-sulfenyloxy carboxamides through a reaction that faithfully transfers the absolute stereochemistry of the lithiated sulfinylamides to the α-carbon of the amide products. This addition-rearrangement can be performed together with ketene formation from acyl chloride in a single flask, providing a new and practical synthetic route to α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives.

Abstract
Efficient asymmetric alkylation of β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids without prior functionalization is enabled by chiral lithium amides. Enantioselectivity is imparted by a putative mixed lithium amide-enediolate aggregate that acts a traceless auxiliary formed in situ, allowing for a direct asymmetric alkylation and a simple recovery of the chiral reagent.

Abstract
The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted acyclic enol carbonates providing linear α-quaternary ketones is reported. Investigation into the reaction revealed that the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand renders the enolate geometry of the starting material inconsequential, with the same enantiomer of product obtained in the same level of selectivity regardless of the starting ratio of enolates. As a result, a general method toward acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has been developed.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2-amino alcohols are privileged scaffolds with important applications as drug candidates and chiral ligands. Although various methods for the preparation of this structural motif have been reported, these methods are limited because of the use of precious metals and ligands. Here, we report a practical and high yielding synthesis of chiral 1,2-amino alcohols using arylglyoxals and pseudoephedrine auxiliary. This reaction is catalyzed by a Brønsted acid and provides morpholinone products in high yields and selectivities. The morpholine ring was converted into 1,2-amino alcohols in a two-step protocol.

Abstract
Aplysiasecosterol A (1) is a structurally unusual 9,11-secosteroid isolated from the sea hare Aplysia kurodai. We have accomplished the first and asymmetric total synthesis of 1 in a convergent fashion. The left-hand segment bearing three adjacent stereocenters was constructed through desymmetrizing reduction, ketalization, and radical cyclization. A strategy of asymmetric 2-bromoallylation followed by spontaneous desymmetrizing lactolization enabled a more expeditious access to this segment. The right-hand segment was prepared through two different approaches: one featuring Myers alkylation and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and the other relying upon Aggarwal lithiation-borylation and Zweifel-Evans olefination. The two fragments were coupled by a Reformatsky type reaction. The three consecutive stereocenters embedded in the central domain of 1 were generated by an iron-mediated, hydrogen atom transfer based radical cyclization reaction.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-vallesine via a strategy that features a late-stage regioselective C17-oxidation followed by a highly stereoselective transannular cyclization is reported. The versatility of this approach is highlighted by the divergent synthesis of the archetypal alkaloid of this family, (+)-aspidospermidine, and an A-ring-oxygenated derivative, (+)-deacetylaspidospermine, the precursor to (-)-vallesine, from a common intermediate.

Abstract
Natural products have served as powerful therapeutics against pathogenic bacteria since the golden age of antibiotics of the mid-20th century. However, the increasing frequency of antibiotic-resistant infections clearly demonstrates that new antibiotics are critical for modern medicine. Because combinatorial approaches have not yielded effective drugs, we propose that the development of new antibiotics around proven natural scaffolds is the best short-term solution to the rising crisis of antibiotic resistance. We analyze herein synthetic approaches aiming to reengineer natural products into potent antibiotics. Furthermore, we discuss approaches in modulating quorum sensing and biofilm formation as a nonlethal method, as well as narrow-spectrum pathogen-specific antibiotics, which are of interest given new insights into the implications of disrupting the microbiome.

Abstract
We report a divergent and modular protocol for the preparation of acyclic molecular frameworks containing newly created quaternary carbon stereocenters. Central to this approach is a sequence composed of a (1) regioselective and -retentive preparation of allyloxycarbonyl-trapped fully substituted stereodefined amide enolates and of a (2) enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation reaction using a novel bisphosphine ligand.

Abstract
Direct nickel-catalyzed alkylation of chiral N-acyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thiones using a commercially available nickel(II) complex, (Me3P)2NiCl2, has been developed for tropylium and trityl tetrafluoroborate salts. The reaction provides a single diastereomer of the corresponding adducts in good to high yields, which, in turn, can be easily converted into a wide array of enantiomerically pure compounds that are difficult to obtain by other asymmetric procedures.

Abstract
A new class of chiral 1,2-amino ether ligands, readily accessible from naturally occurring α-amino- or α-hydroxy acids, was found to provide high levels of both conversion and stereocontrol (up to 95:5 er) in intramolecular carbolithiation reactions, outperforming the benchmark ligand (-)-sparteine. The ligand could be used in a substoichiometric amount (0.25 equiv) without significant loss of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The chelation-controlled arylation reaction of chiral, enantiopure acyclic α-amino aldehydes enabled by a B/Zn exchange reaction between arylboronic acids and Et2Zn is reported. The presence of dibenzyl substituents at the nitrogen plays a key role in the stereochemical outcome of the reaction, and chelation is favored over the natural tendency of this type of substrate to undergo Felkin-Anh controlled additions with organomagnesium and organolithium reagents.
