Abstract
Acremolactone B is a pyridine-containing azaphilone-type polyketide. The first total synthesis of this molecule was achieved on a gram scale, based on an aza-6π electrocyclization-aromatization strategy for construction of the tetra-substituted pyridine ring. A bicyclic intermediate was expeditiously prepared by using [2+2] photocycloaddition and chemoselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, which was further elaborated to a densely substituted aza-triene. An electrocyclization-aromatization cascade was utilized to forge the tetracyclic core of this natural product, and the side chain was introduced through diastereoselective acylation and reduction.

Abstract
The conventional N-glycosylation methods for nucleoside synthesis usually require strongly acidic or basic conditions. Here we report the decarboxylative C(sp3)-N coupling of glycosyl N-hydroxyphthalimide esters with nucleobases via dual photoredox/Cu catalysis, which offered a mild approach to nucleoside analogues. A total synthesis of oxetanocin A, an antiviral natural product containing an oxetanose moiety, has been achieved by using this method.

Abstract
A new approach for the concise 11-step synthesis of the [6-6-7-5-5] BCDEF pentacyclic core of calyciphylline N is described. A type II [5 + 2] cycloaddition was employed to construct the strained BCD skeleton, which encompasses the challenging bicyclo[2.2.2] and bicyclo[4.3.1] ring systems. With a regio- and diastereoselective Lu's [3 + 2] cycloaddition, followed by intramolecular aldol cyclization and elimination, the desired [5-5]-fused EF ring system has been successfully installed, resulting in the complete carbocyclic skeleton of calyciphylline N.

Abstract
Retrosynthetic analysis is a framework for designing synthetic routes to complex molecules that generally prioritizes disconnections which reduce molecular complexity. However, strict adherence to this principle can overlook pathways involving highly complex intermediates that can be easily prepared through powerful bond-forming transformations. Herein, we demonstrate this tactic of generating excess complexity, followed by strategic bond-cleavage, as a highly effective approach for the 11-step total synthesis of the Daphniphyllum alkaloid daphenylline. To implement this strategy, we accessed a bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane core through a dearomative Buchner cycloaddition, which enabled construction of the seven-membered ring after C-C bond cleavage. Installation of the synthetically challenging quaternary stereocenter methyl group was achieved through a thia-Paternò-Büchi [2 + 2] photocycloaddition followed by stereospecific thietane reduction, further illustrating how building excess complexity can enable desired synthetic outcomes after strategic bond-breaking events. This strategy leveraging bond cleavage transformations should serve as a complement to traditional bond-forming, complexity-generating synthetic strategies.

Abstract
Inspired by the high affinity of copper with DNA and RNA, a uracil-copper catalytic system was developed to promote ring-opening allylation of cyclopropanols with allylic alcohols under water-tolerant conditions. A new C-OH bond-breaking model can well resolve the trade-off between the need for acidic activators for C(allyl)-OH bond cleavage and the demand for strong basic conditions for generating homoenolates. Therefore, Morita-Baylis-Hillman alcohols, rather than their pre-activated versions, could be incorporated directly into dehydrative cross-coupling with cyclopropanols delivering water as the only by-product. A variety of functionalized δ,ε-unsaturated ketones were obtained in good-to-high yield with high E-selectivity.

Abstract
A concise enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-daphenylline, a hexacyclic Daphniphyllum alkaloid with a unique benzene ring, was achieved in 14 steps. The synthesis commences with two chiral stereocenters, C2 and C18, readily installed via Carreira's Ir/amine dual-catalyzed allylation. The allylic bridgehead amine 6 was rapidly prepared through Wickens' photoredox-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of olefin and CuBr2-catalyzed α-amination of ketone. The tetracycle 4 was formed via Pd-catalyzed reductive Heck reaction or, more concisely, by Krische's Rh-catalyzed reductive 1,6-enyne cyclization. In this synthesis, newly reported Wickens' photoredox-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation was used twice, and Friedel-Crafts acylation thrice.

Abstract
The macrodaphniphyllamine-type, calyciphylline A-type, daphnilongeranin A-type, and daphnicyclidin D-type alkaloids are four structurally related classes of Daphniphyllum alkaloids. On the basis of a systematic analysis of the biogenetic network of these classes, we developed synthetic strategies centered on the C4-N and C1-C8 bonds of calyciphylline A, which took full advantage of the suitable substrates, reactions, and pathways that are altered from their counterparts in the postulated biogenetic network. Through this generalized biomimetic approach, we achieved the first synthesis of 14 Daphniphyllum alkaloids from the four subfamilies.

Abstract
Direct 2C-ring expansion of 1-indanones with ynones to 5H-benzo[7]annulenes has been observed, and its generality has been gauged (19 examples). Overall, this simple and convenient cascade process to 5H-benzo[7]annulenes involves engagement of 1-indanone with two ynone moieties with formation of three new C-C σ-bonds, cleavage of C-C σ-bond, and concurrent functionality amplification. The resulting seven-membered ring, laced with an opportunistic disposition of four proximal functional groups, offers avenues for their further productive interplay. Our new approach embraces many green and eco-friendly features.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of (±)- and (-)-daphnillonin B, a daphnicyclidin-type alkaloid with a new [7-6-5-7-5-5] A/B/C/D/E/F hexacyclic core, has been achieved. The [6-5-7] B/C/D ring system was efficiently and diastereoselectively constructed via a mild type I intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition, followed by a Grubbs II catalyst-catalyzed radical cyclization. The [5-5] fused E/F ring system was synthesized via a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. Notably, the synthetically challenging [7-6-5-7-5-5] hexacyclic core was reassembled by a unique Wagner-Meerwein-type rearrangement from the [6-6-5-7-5-5] hexacyclic framework found in calyciphylline A-type Daphniphyllum 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
Covering: up to July 2022Stemmadenine alkaloids are a restrictive sub-group of monoterpene indole alkaloids, represented by two congeners: stemmadenine and vallesamine. Their skeleton is defined by the cleavage of the C-3-C-7 bond of the Strychnos group's pentacyclic scaffold in monoterpene indole alkaloids. The parent alkaloid stemmadenine acts as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of several major monoterpene indole alkaloid families, including regular Strychnos alkaloids, Aspidosperma alkaloids, and Iboga alkaloids. In this review, a complete coverage of the stemmadenine alkaloids, from the early reports till the present day at 2022, are presented, and their diverse biological activities are briefly described. Moreover, the biosynthetic proposal for stemmadenine and the proposed biogenetic conversion of stemmadenine-type alkaloids into vallesamine-type congeners are discussed in detail. Moreover, the successful synthetic strategies to access the strained stemmadenine scaffolds are fully reviewed.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of daphgraciline has been achieved, which also represents the first example of the synthesis of Daphniphyllum yuzurine-type alkaloids (∼50 members). The unique bridged azabicyclo[4.3.1] ring system in the yuzurine-type subfamily was efficiently and diastereoselectively assembled via a mild type II [5+2] cycloaddition for the first time. The compact tetracyclic [6-7-5-5] skeleton was installed efficiently via an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, followed by a benzilic acid-type rearrangement. The synthetically challenging spiro tetrahydropyran moiety in the final product was installed diastereoselectively via a TiIII-mediated reductive epoxide coupling reaction. Potential access to enantioenriched daphgraciline is presented.

Abstract
Among the famous Daphniphyllum alkaloids family, the calyciphylline A-type subfamily has triggered particular interest from the organic synthesis community in recent years. Here, we report divergent total syntheses of three calyciphylline A-type alkaloids, namely, (-)-10-deoxydaphnipaxianine A, (+)-daphlongamine E, and (+)-calyciphylline R. Our work highlights an efficient, divergent strategy via late-stage divinyl carbinol rearrangements, including an unprecedented oxidative Nazarov electrocyclization using an unfunctionalized tertiary divinyl carbinol and an unusual allylic alcohol rearrangement. A highly efficient "donor-acceptor" platinum catalyst was used for a critical nitrile hydration step. Moreover, the power of selective amide reductions has also been showcased by novel and classic tactics.

Abstract
Mollanol A is the first isolated member of the mollane-type grayanoids which possesses an unprecedented C-nor-D-homograyanane carbon skeleton and an 5,8-epoxide. Due to its transcriptional activation effects on the Xbp1 upstream promoters in different cell types, it has a potential therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease. Here we report the first total synthesis of mollanol A, which constitutes a 15-step synthesis from commercially available materials via a convergent strategy. The synthesis involves an InCl3-catalyzed Conia-ene cyclization reaction to construct the bicyclo[3.2.1]octane moiety and a vinylogous aldol reaction/intramolecular oxa-Michael addition sequence to rapidly assemble the oxa-bicyclo[3.2.1] core.

Abstract
A synthetic approach to a functionalized ABC-tricyclic framework of calyciphilline A-type alkaloids, a building block toward this class of alkaloids, is reported. The key synthetic steps involve a radical cyclization to form the hydroindole system and piperidine ring closure through a stereocontrolled aldol cyclization. The resulting alcohol allows the methyl group to be installed in the bowl-shaped azatricyclic structure; this crucial reaction takes place with configuration retention. The synthesis of azatricyclic compound I constitutes a formal synthesis of himalensine A.

Abstract
Daphenylline is a structurally unique member of the triterpenoid Daphniphyllum natural alkaloids, which exhibit intriguing biological activities. Six total syntheses have been reported, five of which utilize aromatization approaches. Herein, we report a concise protecting-group-free total synthesis by means of a novel intramolecular oxidative dearomatization reaction, which concurrently generates the critical seven-membered ring and the quaternary-containing vicinal stereocenters. Other notable transformations include a tandem reductive amination/amidation double cyclization reaction, to assemble the cage-like architecture, and installation of the other two chiral stereocenters via a highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed challenging hydrogenation of the diene intermediate (90% e.e.) and an unprecedented remote acid-directed Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of the complex benzofused cyclohexanone (13:1 d.r.).

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed reductive three-component coupling reaction for the synthesis of medicinally relevant α-amino 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from abundant tertiary amides or lactams, carboxylic acids, and (N-isocyanimino) triphenylphosphorane, is described. Proceeding under mild conditions using (<1 mol %) Vaska's complex (IrCl(CO)(PPh3 )2 ) and tetramethyldisiloxane to access the key reactive iminium ion intermediates, a broad range of α-amino 1,3,4-oxadiazole architectures were accessed from carboxylic acid feedstock coupling partners. Extension to α-amino heterodiazole synthesis was readily achieved by exchanging the carboxylic acid coupling partner for C-, S-, or N-centered Brønsted acids, and provided rapid and modular access to these desirable, yet difficult-to-access, heterocycles. The high chemoselectivity of the catalytic reductive activation step allowed late-stage functionalization of 10 drug molecules, including the synthesis of heterodiazole-fused drug-drug conjugates.

Abstract
An efficient general strategy for the synthesis of the Daphniphyllum alkaloids via the rapid construction of a common core intermediate has been established, based on which a divergent total synthesis of (-)-daphenylline and (-)-himalensine A has been accomplished in 16 and 19 steps, respectively. The present work features an enantioselective Mg(ClO4 )2 -catalyzed intramolecular amidocyclization to construct the aza-bridged core structure; a Cu-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation and subsequent phosphine-catalyzed Cope-type rearrangement to furnish the himalensine A scaffold; and a one-pot Diels-Alder/aromatization method to assemble the aromatic skeleton of daphenylline.

Abstract
Many natural products possess interesting medicinal properties that arise from their intriguing chemical structures. The highly-substituted carbocycle is one of the most common structural features in many structurally complicated natural products. However, the construction of highly-substituted, stereo-congested, five-membered carbocycles containing all-carbon quaternary center(s) is, at present, a distinct challenge in modern synthetic chemistry, which can be accessed through the all-carbon [3 + 2] cycloaddition. More importantly, the all-carbon [3 + 2] cycloaddition can forge vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers in a single step and has been demonstrated in the synthesis of complex natural products. In this review, we present the development of all-carbon [3 + 2] cycloadditions and illustrate their application in natural product synthesis reported in the last decade covering 2011-2020 (inclusive).

Abstract
Native to the Asia-Pacific region and widely applied in traditional Chinese medicine, the genus Daphniphyllum has produced over 330 known Daphniphyllum alkaloids. Investigations into these alkaloids have shown an exceptional range of interesting bioactivities. Challenging and caged polycyclic architectures and the promising biological profiles make Daphniphyllum alkaloids intriguing synthetic targets. Based on their backbones, these alkaloids can be categorized into 13-35 structurally distinct subfamilies. In addition to our work, almost 30 impressive total syntheses of Daphniphyllum alkaloids from seven subfamilies, namely, daphniphylline-type, secodaphniphylline-type, daphnilactone A-type, bukittinggine-type, daphmanidin A-type, calyciphylline A-type, and calyciphylline B-type alkaloids, have been reported by 11 research groups. However, many Daphniphyllum alkaloid subfamilies remain inaccessible by chemical synthesis.In this Account, we summarize our recent endeavors in the total synthesis of Daphniphyllum alkaloids commencing from simple chiral bicyclic synthons. Daphniphyllum alkaloids with diversified skeletons from four different subfamilies, namely, calyciphylline A-type, daphnezomine A-type, bukittinggine-type, and yuzurimine-type alkaloids, have been achieved. Furthermore, the tricyclic core structure of daphniglaucin C-type alkaloids daphnimacropodines was also synthesized. First, we describe a 14-step synthesis of calyciphylline A-type alkaloid (-)-himalensine A, which features a mild Cu-mediated nitrile hydration, an intramolecular Heck reaction to assemble the pivotal 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane moiety, and a Meinwald rearrangement to introduce the critical oxidative state into the skeleton. We then introduce the synthesis of daphnezomine A-type alkaloid dapholdhamine B, which possesses a unique aza-adamantane core. This target molecule was fabricated using key reactions including Huang's amide-activation-annulation. An unexpected radical detosylation during the synthesis of dapholdhamine B further inspired an ambitious radical cyclization cascade strategy, which eventually led to an efficient total synthesis of bukittinggine-type alkaloid (-)-caldaphnidine O. This highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective radical reaction cascade also shed light on the synthetic strategy of other alkaloids with caged structures. We next describe the first total synthesis of yuzurimine-type alkaloid (+)-caldaphnidine J. The key steps in our approach include a Pd-catalyzed regioselective hydroformylation and a novel Swern oxidation/ketene dithioacetal Prins reaction cascade. The work has achieved the first synthesis of a member of the largest subfamily of Daphniphyllum alkaloids. Finally, we show our efforts toward the total synthesis of daphniglaucin C-type alkaloids. Overall, we hope that the interesting strategies and synthetic methods demonstrated in our efforts could inspire a wide variety of additional applications to natural product synthesis.

Abstract
Daphnezomines A and B are structurally unusual Daphniphyllum alkaloids that contain a unique aza-adamantane core skeleton. Herein, a modular approach to these alkaloids is presented that exploits a diverse array of reaction strategies. Commencing from a chiral pool terpene-(S)-carvone, the azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane backbone, which occurs widely in Daphniphyllum alkaloids, was easily accessed through a Sharpless allylic amination and a palladium-catalyzed oxidative cyclization. A protecting group enabled a stereoselective B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling sequence and an Fe-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-based radical cyclization were then applied to construct C6 and C8 stereocenters. A final epimer locking strategy enabled the assembly of the highly congested aza-adamantane core, thereby achieving the first total synthesis of (-)-daphnezomines A and B in 14 steps.

Abstract
Ever since Hirata’s report of yuzurimine in 1966, nearly fifty yuzurimine-type alkaloids have been isolated, which formed the largest subfamily of the Daphniphyllum alkaloids. Despite extensive synthetic studies towards this synthetically challenging and biologically intriguing family, no total synthesis of any yuzurimine-type alkaloids has been achieved to date. Here, the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-caldaphnidine J, a highly complex yuzurimine-type Daphniphyllum alkaloid, is described. Key transformations of this approach include a highly regioselective Pd-catalyzed hydroformylation, a samarium(II)-mediated pinacol coupling, and a one-pot Swern oxidation/ketene dithioacetal Prins reaction. Our approach paves the way for the synthesis of other yuzurimine-type alkaloids and related natural products. Despite being known for more than 50 years, yuzurimine-type alkaloids have not been accessed by total synthesis. Here, the authors report the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-Caldaphnidine J, a highly complex yuzurimine-type Daphniphyllum alkaloid.

Abstract
Covering: 2000 to 2018 Pericyclic reactions are a distinct class of reactions that have wide synthetic utility. Before the recent discoveries described in this review, enzyme-catalyzed pericyclic reactions were not widely known to be involved in biosynthesis. This situation is changing rapidly. We define the scope of pericyclic reactions, give a historical account of their discoveries as biosynthetic reactions, and provide evidence that there are many enzymes in nature that catalyze pericyclic reactions. These enzymes, the "pericyclases," are the subject of this review.
