Abstract
Covering: 2016 to mid 2023Transition metal catalysis, known for its remarkable capacity to expedite the assembly of molecular complexity from readily available starting materials in a single operation, occupies a central position in contemporary chemical synthesis. Within this landscape, gold-catalyzed reactions present a novel and versatile paradigm, offering robust frameworks for accessing diverse structural motifs. In this review, we highlighted a curated selection of publications in the past 8 years, focusing on the deployment of homogeneous gold catalysis in the ring-forming step for the total synthesis of natural products. These investigations are categorized based on the specific ring formations they engender, accentuating the prevailing gold-catalyzed methodologies applied to surmount intricate challenges in natural products synthesis.

Abstract
The cluster of four skipped exo-methylene substituents on the "northern" wing of limaol renders this dinoflagellate-derived marine natural product unique in structural terms. This arguably non-thermodynamic array gains kinetic stability by virtue of populating local conformations which impede isomerization to a partly or fully conjugated polyene. This analysis suggested that the difficulties encountered during the late stages of our first total synthesis of this polyketide had not been caused by an overly fragile character of this unusual substructure; rather, an unfavorable steric microenvironment about the spirotricyclic core was identified as the likely cause. To remedy the issue, the protecting groups on this central fragment were changed; in effect, this amendment allowed all strategic and practical problems to be addressed. As a result, the overall yield over the longest linear sequence was multiplied by a factor of almost five and the material throughput increased more than eighty-fold per run. Key-to-success was a gold-catalyzed spirocyclization reaction; the reasons why a Brønsted acid cocatalyst is needed and the origin of the excellent levels of selectivity were delineated. The change of the protecting groups also allowed for much improved fragment coupling processes; most notably, the sequence of a substrate-controlled carbonyl addition reaction followed by Mitsunobu inversion that had originally been necessary to affix the southern tail to the core could be replaced by a reagent controlled asymmetric allylation. Finally, a much-improved route to the "northern" sector was established by leveraging the power of asymmetric hydrogenation of a 2-pyrone derivative. Limaol was found to combine appreciable antiparasitic activity with very modest cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Regioselective annulation of allenes via C-H activation represents an elegant synthetic approach toward the construction of valuable scaffolds. Considering the importance of allenes, herein we developed an unprecedented Ru(II)-catalyzed highly regioselective redox-neutral C-H activation/(4 + 1)-annulation of 1-arylpyrazolidinones employing allenyl acetates to access pyrazolo[1,2-a]indazol-1-one derivatives. Additionally, allenyl cyclic carbonates, which were never tested in C-H activation, were utilized to construct a similar class of heterocycles having a pendent alcohol functionality. Notably, double C-H functionalization was achieved by a simple modification of reaction conditions. The synthetic significance of this methodology is underscored by late-stage modification of natural products, broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis, and postfunctionalizations.

Abstract
An 18-step synthesis of (-)-enigmazole A is herein disclosed. The present synthesis is based on a modular assembly of three building blocks of similar complexity, a macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis to forge the 18-membered macrocyclic skeleton, and a desilylative transannular oxa-Michael addition for stereoselective construction of the 2,6-cis-substituted tetrahydropyran ring.

Abstract
Archangiumide is the first known macrolide natural product comprising an endocyclic allene. For the ring strain that this linear substructure might entail, it was planned to unveil the allene at a very late stage of the projected total synthesis; in actual fact, this was achieved as the last step of the longest linear sequence by using an otherwise globally deprotected substrate. This unconventional timing was made possible by a gold catalyzed rearrangement of a macrocyclic propargyl benzyl ether derivative that uses a -PMB group as latent hydride source to unveil the signature cycloallene; the protecting group therefore gains a strategic role beyond its mere safeguarding function. Although the gold catalyzed reaction per se is stereoablative, the macrocyclic frame of the target was found to impose high selectivity and a stereoconvergent character on the transformation. The required substrate was formed by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) with the aid of a new air-stable molybdenum alkylidyne catalyst.

Abstract
Host-associated bacteria are increasingly being recognized as underexplored sources of bioactive natural products with unprecedented chemical scaffolds. A recently identified example is the plant-root-associated marine bacterium Gynuella sunshinyii of the chemically underexplored order Oceanospirillales. Its genome contains at least 22 biosynthetic gene clusters, suggesting a rich and mostly uncharacterized specialized metabolism. Here, in silico chemical prediction of a non-canonical polyketide synthase cluster has led to the discovery of janustatins, structurally unprecedented polyketide alkaloids with potent cytotoxicity that are produced in minute quantities. A combination of MS and two-dimensional NMR experiments, density functional theory calculations of 13C chemical shifts and semiquantitative interpretation of transverse rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy data were conducted to determine the relative configuration, which enabled the total synthesis of both enantiomers and assignment of the absolute configuration. Janustatins feature a previously unknown pyridodihydropyranone heterocycle and an unusual biological activity consisting of delayed, synchronized cell death at subnanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
Tetrahydropyran-containing macrolactones were synthesized by integrating Meyer-Schuster rearrangement, macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis, and transannular oxa-Michael addition under gold and ruthenium catalysis. Single-step access to a variety of 14- to 20-membered macrolactones containing a tetrahydropyran ring was possible from readily available linear precursors in good yields and with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity. A 13-step synthesis of (-)-exiguolide, an anticancer marine macrolide, showcased the feasibility of our tandem reaction sequence for macrolactone synthesis and also demonstrated the power of transannular reactions for rapid assembly of the tetrahydropyran rings of the target natural product.

Abstract
Engaging allenes in transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation strategy is immensely promising to access high-value scaffolds. However, such a reaction manifold remains largely elusive using cheap and sustainable ruthenium catalysis. We disclose an unprecedented ruthenium-catalyzed (4 + 2) annulation between aromatic amides and allenylphosphine oxides, furnishing NH-free isoquinolinones in high yields. This operationally simple methodology leverages weak coordination assistance, displays high selectivity, and is amenable to the late-stage functionalization of several biologically relevant motifs.

Abstract
![]()
The marine natural
product scabrolide A was obtained by isomerization
of the vinylogous 1,4-diketone entity of nominal scabrolide B as the
purported pivot point of the biosynthesis of these polycyclic norcembranoids.
Despite the success of this maneuver, the latter compound itself turned
out not to be identical with the natural product of that name. The
key steps en route to the carbocyclic core of these targets were a
[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allylic sulfur ylide to forge
the overcrowded C12–C13 bond, an RCM reaction to close the
congested central six-membered ring, and a hydroxy-directed epoxidation/epoxide
opening/isomerization sequence to set the “umpoled”
1,4-dicarbonyl motif and the correct angular configuration at C12.

The resulting acid-tethered allylic 2-oxopiperidines are then engaged in several selective fragment growth processes, including catalytic denitrative alkenylation, halolactonization, and Vilsmeier–Haack functionalization.

Abstract
Molybdenum alkylidyne complexes with a trisilanolate podand ligand framework ("canopy catalysts") are the arguably most selective catalysts for alkyne metathesis known to date. Among them, complex 1 a endowed with a fence of lateral methyl substituents on the silicon linkers is the most reactive, although fairly high loadings are required in certain applications. It is now shown that this catalyst decomposes readily via a bimolecular pathway that engages the Mo≡CR entities in a stoichiometric triple-bond metathesis event to furnish RC≡CR and the corresponding dinuclear complex, 8, with a Mo≡Mo core. In addition to the regular analytical techniques, 95 Mo NMR was used to confirm this unusual outcome. This rapid degradation mechanism is largely avoided by increasing the size of the peripheral substituents on silicon, without unduly compromising the activity of the resulting complexes. When chemically challenged, however, canopy catalysts can open the apparently somewhat strained tripodal ligand cages; this reorganization leads to the formation of cyclo-tetrameric arrays composed of four metal alkylidyne units linked together via one silanol arm of the ligand backbone. The analogous tungsten alkylidyne complex 6, endowed with a tripodal tris-alkoxide (rather than siloxide) ligand framework, is even more susceptible to such a controlled and reversible cyclo-oligomerization. The structures of the resulting giant macrocyclic ensembles were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
![]()
For numerous enabling features and strategic virtues, contemporary
alkyne metathesis is increasingly recognized as a formidable synthetic
tool. Central to this development was the remarkable evolution of
the catalysts during the past decades. Molybdenum alkylidynes carrying
(tripodal) silanolate ligands currently set the standards; their functional
group compatibility is exceptional, even though they comprise an early
transition metal in its highest oxidation state. Their performance
is manifested in case studies in the realm of dynamic covalent chemistry,
advanced applications to solid-phase synthesis, a revival of transannular
reactions, and the assembly of complex target molecules at sites,
which one may not intuitively trace back to an acetylenic ancestor.
In parallel with these innovations in material science and organic
synthesis, new insights into the mode of action of the most advanced
catalysts were gained by computational means and the use of unconventional
analytical tools such as 95Mo and 183W NMR spectroscopy.
The remaining shortcomings, gaps, and desiderata in the field are
also critically assessed.

Abstract
Total synthesisis frequently compared to climbing as it provides a suitable route to reach a high point from the floor, the complex natural product from simple and commercially available materials. The total synthesis has a privileged position of trust in confirming the hypothetical complex structures of natural products despite sophisticated analytical and spectroscopic instrumentation and techniques that are available presently. Moreover, total synthesis is also useful to prepare rare bioactive natural products in the laboratory as several bioactive secondary metabolites are obtained in small quantities from natural sources. The artistic aspect of the total synthesis of bioactive natural products continues to be praised today as it may provide environmental protection through the concept of green or clean chemistry. The use of ultrasound waves as a non-polluting source of energy is of great interest in the field of sustainable and pharmaceutical chemistry as it differs from conventional energy sources in terms of reaction rates, yields, selectivities, and purity of the products. The present review highlights the application of ultrasound as a green tool in the total synthesis of bioactive natural products as well as this article is also aimed to offer an overview of natural sources, structures, and biological activities of the promising natural products for the first time from 2005 to 2020 elegantly.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the trimethyl ester of kadcoccinic acid A is described. The central structural element of our synthesis is a cyclopentenone motif that allows the assembly of the natural product skeleton. A gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of an enynyl acetate led to efficient construction of the cyclopentenone scaffold. In this step, optimization studies revealed that the stereochemistry of the enynyl acetate dictates regioisomeric cyclopentenone formation. The synthesis further highlights an efficient copper-mediated conjugate addition, merged with a gold(I)-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction to connect the two fragments, thereby forging the D-ring of the natural product. The synthetic strategy reported herein can provide a general platform to access the skeleton of other members of this family of natural products.

Abstract
En route to the total synthesis of (+)-Neopeltolide, we explored Lewis acid-assisted diastereoselective allylation of MOM-protected 3-hydroxylhexanal with β-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-substituted (allyl)tributylstannane. The hydrated form of scandium triflate was found to be essential for attaining high 1,3-anti-diastereoselectivity (d.r. 94:6), while the use of anhydrous catalyst resulted in a modest diastereocontrol (d.r. 76:24). The preferred 1,3-anti-selectivity in this transformation can be rationalized in the framework of the Reetz chelate model of asymmetric induction. The 1,3-anti-configuration of the product was confirmed by its conversion into the known C7-C16 building block of (+)-Neopeltolide. We also report an improved protocol for the synthesis of β-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-substituted (allyl)tributylstannane, which can be utilized as a cost-efficient bipolar isoprenoid-type C5-building block in the synthesis of natural compounds.

Macrocyclic
natural products are plentiful in
the bacteria, archaea,
and eukaryote domains of life. For the significant advantages that
they provide to the producing organisms, evolution has learned how
to implement various types of macrocyclization reactions into the
different biosynthetic pathways and how to effect them with remarkable
ease. Mankind greatly benefits from nature’s pool, not least
because naturally occurring macrocycles or derivatives thereof serve
as important drugs for the treatment of many serious ailments. In stark contrast, macrocyclization reactions are usually perceived
as difficult to accomplish by purely chemical means. While it is true
that ring closure necessarily entails an entropic loss and may result
in the buildup of (considerable) ring strain that must be compensated
for in one way or the other, it is also fair to note tremendous methodological
advances during the last decades that greatly alleviated this traditional
“macrocycle challenge”. It is therefore increasingly
possible to explore the advantages provided by large as well as medium-size
ring systems in a more systematic manner. This venture also holds
the promise of increasing the “chemical space” amenable
to drug development to a considerable extent. In consideration
of this and other important long-term perspectives,
it is appropriate to revisit the current state of the art. To this
end, a number of vignettes are presented, each of which summarizes
a total synthesis project targeting macrocyclic natural products of
greatly different chemotypes using a variety of transformations to
reach these goals. Although we were occasionally facing “dead
ends”, which are also delineated for the sake of a complete
picture, these case studies illustrate the notion that the formation
of a certain macrocyclic perimeter is (usually) no longer seriously
limiting. In addition to substantial progress in the “classical”
repertoire (macrolactonization and macrolactamization
(pateamine A, spirastrellolide, and belizentrin)), various metal-catalyzed
reactions have arguably led to the greatest leaps forward. Among them,
palladium-catalyzed C–C bond formation (roseophilin and nominal
xestocyclamine A) and, in particular, alkene and alkyne metathesis
stand out (iejimalide, spirastrellolide, enigmazole, ingenamine, and
sinulariadiolide). In some cases, different methods were pursued in
parallel, thus allowing for a critical assessment and comparison. To the extent that the macrocyclic challenge is vanishing, the
opportunity arises to focus attention on the postmacrocyclization
phase. One may stipulate that a well-designed cyclization precursor
does not only ensure efficient ring closure but also fosters and streamlines
the steps that come after the event. One way to do so is dual (multiple)
use in that the functional groups serving the actual cyclization reaction
also find productive applications downstream from it rather than being
subject to simple defunctionalization. In this context,
better insight into the conformational peculiarities of large rings
and the growing confidence in their accessibility in a stereochemically
well defined format rejuvenate the implementation of transannular
reactions or reaction cascades that can lead to rapid and substantial
increases in molecular complexity. The examples summarized herein
showcase such possibilities, with special emphasis on tranannular
gold catalysis and the emerging ruthenium-catalyzed trans-hydrometalation chemistry for the selective functionalization of
alkynes.

Abstract
Total synthesis allowed the constitution of the cytotoxic marine macrolides of the formosalide family to be confirmed and their previously unknown stereostructure to be assigned with confidence. The underlying blueprint was inherently modular to ensure that each conceivable isomer could be reached. This flexibility derived from the use of strictly catalyst controlled transformations to set the stereocenters, except for the anomeric position, which is under thermodynamic control; as an extra safety measure, all stereogenic centers were set prior to ring closure to preclude any interference of the conformation adopted by the macrolactone rings of the different diastereomers. Late-stage macrocyclization by ring-closing alkyne metathesis was followed by a platinum-catalyzed transannular 6-exo-dig hydroalkoxylation/ketalization to craft the polycyclic frame. The side chain featuring a very labile unsaturation pattern was finally attached to the core by Stille coupling.

Abstract
Triarylsilanolates are privileged ancillary ligands for molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis but lead to disappointing results and poor stability in the tungsten series. 1 H,183 W heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy, exploiting a favorable 5 J-coupling between the 183 W center and the peripheral protons on the alkylidyne cap, revealed that these ligands upregulate the Lewis acidity to an extent that the tungstenacyclobutadiene formed in the initial [2+2] cycloaddition step is over-stabilized and the catalytic turnover brought to a halt. Guided by the 183 W NMR shifts as a proxy for the Lewis acidity of the central atom and by an accompanying chemical shift tensor analysis of the alkylidyne unit, the ligand design was revisited and a more strongly π-donating all-alkoxide ligand prepared. The new expanded chelate complex has a tempered Lewis acidity and outperforms the classical Schrock catalyst, carrying monodentate tert-butoxy ligands, in terms of rate and functional-group compatibility.

Abstract
Natural product total synthesis is in essence target-oriented in that a set of organic transformations are orchestrated into a workable process, leading ultimately to the target molecule with a predefined architecture. For a bioactive lead, proof of synthetic viability is merely the beginning. Ensuing effort repurposes the initial synthesis for structural diversification in order to probe structure-activity relationship (SAR). Yet accessibility is not equal to flexibility; moving from convergency to divergency, it is not always feasible to explore the chemical space around a particular substructure of interest simply by tweaking an established route. In this situation, the motif-oriented strategy becomes a superior choice, which gives priority to synthetic flexibility at the concerned site such that a route is adopted only if it is capable of implementing diversification therein. This strategy was recently devised by Fürstner et al., enabling them to achieve total synthesis of both natural and non-natural nannocystins varied at an otherwise challenging position. The present review examines seven distinctive nannocystin total syntheses reported thus far and showcases the merits of conventional (target-oriented) as well as motif-oriented strategies, concluding that these two approaches complement each other and are both indispensable for natural product based drug discovery.

Abstract
The total synthesis of cytotoxic marine phosphomacrolides, (-)-enigmazole A and (-)-15-O-methylenigmazole A, is described in detail. The 2,6-cis-substituted tetrahydropyran ring was efficiently elaborated by using a tandem olefin cross-metathesis/intramolecular oxa-Michael addition reaction. The 18-membered macrolactone skeleton was forged via a Au-catalyzed propargylic benzoate rearrangement/macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis sequence. Late-stage diversification of a common intermediate enabled unified total synthesis of (-)-enigmazole A and (-)-15-O-methylenigmazole A.

Abstract
![]()
A new family of structurally well-defined
molybdenum alkylidyne
catalysts for alkyne metathesis, which is distinguished by a tripodal
trisilanolate ligand architecture, is presented. Complexes of type 1 combine the virtues of previous generations of silanolate-based
catalysts with a significantly improved functional group tolerance.
They are easy to prepare on scale; the modularity of the ligand synthesis
allows the steric and electronic properties to be fine-tuned and hence
the application profile of the catalysts to be optimized. This opportunity
is manifested in the development of catalyst 1f, which
is as reactive as the best ancestors but exhibits an unrivaled scope.
The new catalysts work well in the presence of unprotected alcohols
and various other protic groups. The chelate effect entails even a
certain stability toward water, which marks a big leap forward in
metal alkylidyne chemistry in general. At the same time, they tolerate
many donor sites, including basic nitrogen and numerous heterocycles.
This aspect is substantiated by applications to polyfunctional (natural)
products. A combined spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational
study provides insights into structure and electronic character of
complexes of type 1. Particularly informative are a density
functional theory (DFT)-based chemical shift tensor analysis of the
alkylidyne carbon atom and 95Mo NMR spectroscopy; this
analytical tool had been rarely used in organometallic chemistry before
but turns out to be a sensitive probe that deserves more attention.
The data show that the podand ligands render a Mo-alkylidyne a priori
more electrophilic than analogous monodentate triarylsilanols; proper
ligand tuning, however, allows the Lewis acidity as well as the steric
demand about the central atom to be adjusted to the point that excellent
performance of the catalyst is ensured.

Abstract
To improve the efficacy of molecular syntheses, researchers wish to capitalize upon the selective modification of otherwise inert C-H bonds. The past two decades have witnessed considerable advances in coordination chemistry that have set the stage for transformative tools for C-H functionalizations. Particularly, oxidative C-H/C-H and C-H/Het-H transformations have gained major attention because they avoid all elements of substrate prefunctionalization. Despite considerable advances, oxidative C-H activations have been dominated by precious transition metal catalysts based on palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium, thus compromising the sustainable nature of the overall C-H activation approach. The same holds true for the predominant use of stoichiometric chemical oxidants for the regeneration of the active catalyst, prominently featuring hypervalent iodine(III), copper(II), and silver(I) oxidants. Thereby, stoichiometric quantities of undesired byproducts are generated, which are preventive for applications of C-H activation on scale. In contrast, the elegant merger of homogeneous metal-catalyzed C-H activation with molecular electrosynthesis bears the unique power to achieve outstanding levels of oxidant and resource economy. Thus, in contrast to classical electrosyntheses by substrate control, metalla-electrocatalysis holds huge and largely untapped potential for oxidative C-H activations with unmet site selectivities by means of catalyst control. While indirect electrolysis using precious palladium complexes has been realized, less toxic and less expensive base metal catalysts feature distinct beneficial assets toward sustainable resource economy. In this Account, I summarize the emergence of electrocatalyzed C-H activation by earth-abundant 3d base metals and beyond, with a topical focus on contributions from our laboratories through November 2019. Thus, cobalt electrocatalysis was identified as a particularly powerful platform for a wealth of C-H transformations, including C-H oxygenations and C-H nitrogenations as well as C-H activations with alkynes, alkenes, allenes, isocyanides, and carbon monoxide, among others. As complementary tools, catalysts based on nickel, copper, and very recently iron have been devised for metalla-electrocatalyzed C-H activations. Key to success were detailed mechanistic insights, prominently featuring oxidation-induced reductive elimination scenarios. Likewise, the development of methods that make use of weak O-coordination benefited from crucial insights into the catalyst's modes of action by experiment, in operando spectroscopy, and computation. Overall, metalla-electrocatalyzed C-H activations have thereby set the stage for molecular syntheses with unique levels of resource economy. These electrooxidative C-H transformations overall avoid the use of chemical oxidants and are frequently characterized by improved chemoselectivities. Hence, the ability to dial in the redox potential at the minimum level required for the desired transformation renders electrocatalysis an ideal platform for the functionalization of structurally complex molecules with sensitive functional groups. This strategy was, inter alia, successfully applied to scale-up by continuous flow and the step-economical assembly of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract
A modular and functional group-tolerant protocol for the transition metal-free coupling of novel N,O- and N,S-heterocyclic vinyl chlorides with terminal acetylenes and styrenes has been developed, leading to the epimerization-free synthesis of fully carbofunctionalized dihydro-1,4-oxazines/thiazines. Bicyclic morpholines have also been prepared through the interrogation of newly synthesized cross-conjugated dienes in Diels–Alder reactions. The use of environmentally benign reaction media endows the current strategy with a practical advantage. A functional group-tolerant and transition metal-free coupling of novel N,O- and N,S-heterocyclic vinyl chlorides, which affords fully carbosubstituted dihydro-1,4-oxazines/thiazines as well as bicyclic morpholines, is described.![]()

Abstract
Novel alkyne-bridged ferrocenophanes [fc{CO2(CH2)nC≡}2] (2a: n = 2; 2b: n = 3) were synthesized from the corresponding terminal diacetylenic ferrocenes [fc{CO2(CH2)nC≡CH}2] (1a: n = 2; 1b: n = 3) through ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) utilizing the highly effective molybdenum catalyst [MesC≡Mo{OC(CF3)2CH3}3] (MoF6; Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl). The metathesis reaction occurs in short time with high yields whilst giving full conversion of the terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the solvent-dependant reactivity of 2a towards Ag(SbF6) is investigated, leading to oxidation and formation of the ferrocenium hexafluoroantimonate 4 in dichloromethane, whereas the silver(I) coordination polymer 5 was isolated from THF solution.

Abstract
An oxidative dearomatization of phenol followed by a dynamic kinetic (DyKat) ketalization/oxa-Michael addition cascade using cinchona alkaloid-based chiral bifunctional amino-squaramide catalysts is reported. A broad array of sterically hindered [5,5]-spiroketals attached to a cyclohexadienone moiety in spiro-fashion is synthesized in an enantiopure form. Further, the methodology was optimized and extended to the corresponding benzannulated [5,5]-spiroketals attached to a cyclohexadienone moiety in spiro-fashion. In general, good yields and excellent diastereoselectivies and enantioselectivities (up to 20:1 dr and up to 99% ee) were obtained.

Abstract
Successive nucleophilic and electrophilic allylation mediated by the bis-Boc-carbonate derived from 2-methylene-1,3-propane diol enables formation of enantiomerically enriched 2,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines. An initial enantioselective iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative carbonyl C-allylation is followed by Tsuji-Trost N-allylation using 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide. Subsequent Mitsunobu cyclization provides the N-protected 2,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines.

Abstract
In the presence of a chiral iridium complex, commercially available 3-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1-propene (1) was selectively activated for various reductive couplings. Depending on the reaction conditions it allows a selective mono- or bidirectional condensation with one or two external aldehydes with excellent enantiocontrol (>90% ee). This approach occurring simply under mild conditions and avoiding premetalated reagents constructs rapidly chiral homoallylic alcohols, key precursors of important molecular fragments such as furans, pyrans, ketodiols, or 1,3,5-polyols.

Abstract
Although alkyne metathesis has been known for 50 years, rapid progress in this field has mostly occurred during the last two decades. In this article, the development of several highly efficient and thoroughly studied alkyne metathesis catalysts is reviewed, which includes novel well-defined, in situ formed and heterogeneous systems. Various alkyne metathesis methodologies, including alkyne cross-metathesis (ACM), ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM), cyclooligomerization, acyclic diyne metathesis polymerization (ADIMET), and ring-opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP), are presented, and their application in natural product synthesis, materials science as well as supramolecular and polymer chemistry is discussed. Recent progress in the metathesis of diynes is also summarized, which gave rise to new methods such as ring-closing diyne metathesis (RCDM) and diyne cross-metathesis (DYCM).

Abstract
Thrimurtulu et al. recently reported unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed annulation of allenes with benzamide (N. Thrimurtulu, A. Dey, D. Maiti, C. M. R. Volla, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2016, 55, 12361-12365). In this reaction, the substituent on the allene controls the regioselectivity for the formation of either dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one or isoquinolin-1(2H)-one. In the present study, density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the detailed reaction mechanism and the origin of the experimentally observed regioselectivity. A systematic search shows that the electronic and steric effects of the substituent on the allene determine which of the two allene insertions is followed, and thus determine the regioselectivity. The bulky diphenylphosphonate and two phenyl substituents of the allenylphosphonate and diarylallene favor C1[double bond, length as m-dash]C2 insertion, which eventually leads to the formation of isoquinolin-1(2H)-one. In contrast, for the arylallene, which has a relatively electron-rich C2[double bond, length as m-dash]C3 bond, C2[double bond, length as m-dash]C3 insertion is favored and eventually leads to the formation of dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one. The calculations also explain why annulation rather than hydroarylation of benzamide with allenylphosphonate occurs with a cobalt catalyst.
