Abstract
Anthracenylidene is an intriguing structural unit with potential in various fields. The study presents a novel approach to introducing axial chirality into this all-carbon core skeleton through a remotely controlled desymmetrization strategy. A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective Heck arylation of exocyclic double bond of anthracene with two distinct substituents at the C10 position is harnessed to realize such a transformation. The judicious identification of the P-centrally chiral ligand is pivotal to ensure the competitive competence in reactivity and stereocontrol when the heteroatom handle is absent from the anthracenylidene skeleton. Both C10 mono- and disubstituted substrates were compatible for the established catalytic system, and structurally diverse anthracenylidene-based frameworks were forged with good-to-high enantiocontrol. The subsequent derivatization of the obtained products yielded a valuable array of centrally and axially chiral molecules, thus emphasizing the practicality of this chemistry. DFT calculations shed light on the catalytic mechanism and provided insights into the origin of the experimentally observed enantioselectivity for this reaction.

Abstract
This study presents a convenient approach to the synthesis of indole- and benzofuran-based benzylic sulfones using unactivated alkynes containing aryl iodides and sodium sulfinates under visible light irradiation. The procedure involves a sequential series of dehalogenation, carbo-cyclization, and radical sulfonylation. Plausible insights into the reaction mechanism are derived from control experiments, leading to the proposal of a radical cascade reaction pathway.

Abstract
Enantiomers, where chirality arises from restricted rotation around a single bond, are atropisomers. Due to the unique nature of the origins of their chirality, synthetic strategies to access these compounds in an enantioselective manner differ from those used to prepare enantioenriched compounds containing point chirality arising from an unsymmetrically substituted carbon center. In particular stereodynamic transformations, such as dynamic kinetic resolutions, thermodynamic dynamic resolutions, and deracemizations, which rely on the ability to racemize or interconvert enantiomers, are a promising set of transformations to prepare optically pure compounds in the late stage of a synthetic sequence. Translation of these synthetic approaches from compounds with point chirality to atropisomers requires an expanded toolbox for epimerization/racemization and provides an opportunity to develop a new conceptual framework for the enantioselective synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract
Nannocystins are a family of 21-membered cyclodepsipeptides with excellent anticancer activity. However, their macrocyclic architecture poses a significant challenge to structure modification. Herein, this issue is addressed by leveraging the strategy of post-macrocyclization diversification. In particular, a novel serine-incorporating nannocystin was designed so that its appending hydroxyl group could diversify into a wide variety of side chain analogues. Such effort facilitated not only structure-activity correlation at the subdomain of interest, but also the development of a macrocyclic coumarin-labeled fluorescence probe. Uptake experiments indicated good cell permeability of the probe, and endoplasmic reticulum was identified as its subcellular localization site.

Abstract
Axially chiral biaryl motifs possessing ortho-heteroatom-substituted functionalities exist widely in the structures of natural products and have served as foundation for constructing prominent chiral organocatalysts, ligands, functional materials, and even bioactive molecules. However, a general and enantioselective synthesis of such chiral structures with high synthetic value is rare. Taking advantage of the BaryPhos-facilitated asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, we have established a general, efficient and enantioselective construction of the ortho sulfur- or nitrogen-substituted axially chiral biaryls. The protocol shows excellent compatibility to various functional groups and structural features, delivering chiral biaryl structures with ortho-sulfonyl groups or with ortho-nitro groups at a broad range of molecular diversity and complexity. The immobilization of BaryPhos on polyethylene glycol (PEG) support has enabled homogeneous enantioselective cross-coupling in aqueous media and the palladium catalyst recycling for multiple times. The method has enabled a concise 10-step asymmetric synthesis of isoplagiochin D as well as the construction of chiroptical molecules with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties. Ortho-heteroatom-substituted axially chiral biaryls are valuable structures in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Here, the authors established an efficient synthesis of these chiral structures via asymmetric cross-coupling.

Abstract
Indole-fused bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes are highly important structural units in natural products and biologically active compounds. However, there has been limited success in the enantioselective synthesis of these skeletons due to the complexity of the structure and the control of the enantioselectivity. Herein an enantioselective construction of indole-fused bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes bearing an all-carbon quaternary bridgehead stereocenter was developed via an aminopalladition-triggered Heck-type reaction. The protocol features mild conditions and good tolerance for a wide range of functional groups. The transformation can also be scaled up to demonstrate its practicability. The mechanistic studies reveal that the formation of an intermediate indol-3-yl palladium species via C-H activation should be ruled out.

Abstract
Covering: 1981-2020 Heck macrocyclization is a logical extension of the award-winning Mizoroki-Heck reaction. Through covalent linking of two otherwise discrete coupling partners, the resultant chimeric substrate is transformed into a large ring with enhanced rigidity and unique functional group disposition. Pioneered in the early 1980s, this methodology has evolved into a competent option for creating diverse macrocycles. Despite its growing influence, hitherto no systematic survey has ever appeared in the literature. The present review delineates the state-of-the-art of Heck macrocyclization in the context of natural product synthesis. Sixteen selected cases, each examined from a different perspective, coalesce into the view that the title reaction is a viable tool for synthesis-enabled macrocycle research.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, macrocyclic compounds have emerged as increasingly significant therapeutic candidates in drug discovery. Their pharmacological activity hinges on their rotationally restricted three-dimensional orientation, resulting in a unique conformational preorganization and a high enthalpic gain as a consequence of high-affinity macrocycle-protein binding interactions. Synthetic access to macrocyclic drug candidates is therefore crucial. From a synthetic point of view, the efficiency of macrocyclization events commonly suffers from entropic penalties as well as undesired intermolecular couplings (oligomerization). Although over the past several decades ring-closing metathesis, macrolactonization, or macrolactamization have become strategies of choice, the toolbox of organic synthesis provides a great number of versatile transformations beyond the aforementioned. This Outlook focuses on a selection of examples employing what we term unconventional macrocyclizations toward the synthesis of natural products or analogues.
