Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of agricultural fungicide candidates from natural products is one of the key strategies for developing environment friendly agricultural fungicides with high efficiency, high selectivity and unique modes-of-action. Based on previous work, a series of novel α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MBL) derivatives containing benzothiophene moiety were designed and synthesized. RESULTS The majority of the proposed compounds displayed moderate to considerable antifungal efficacy against the tested pathogenic fungi and oomycetes, some exhibiting broad spectrum antifungal activity. Notably, compounds 2 (3-F-Ph) and 7 (4-Cl-Ph) showed excellent antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 0.94 and 0.99 mg L-1, respectively, comparable to the commercial fungicide tebuconazole (EC50 = 0.96 mg L-1), and also displayed significant inhibitory effects against V alsa mali with EC50 values of 2.26 and 1.67 mg L-1, respectively - better than famoxadone and carabrone. The in vivo protective and curative effects against R. solani of compound 2 were 57.2% and 53.7% at 100 mg L-1, respectively, which were equivalent to tebuconazole (51.6% and 52.4%). Further investigations found that compound 2 altered the ultrastructure of R. solani cell, significantly increased the relative conductivity of the cells, and reduced the activity of complex III in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking results showed that compound 2 matched well with the Qo pocket. CONCLUSION The results revealed that MBL derivatives containing benzothiophene moiety are promising antifungal candidates and provide a new backbone structure for further optimization of novel fungicides. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
We report a cobalt-catalyzed Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of gem-disubstituted allylarenes that generates fluoroalkane products with isolated yields up to 84 %. Modification of the counteranion of the N-fluoropyridinium oxidant suggests the substrates undergo nucleophilic fluorination during the reaction. Subjecting the substrates to other known metal-mediated hydrofluorination procedures did not lead to observable 1,2-aryl migration. Thus, indicating the unique ability of these cobalt-catalyzed conditions to generate a sufficiently reactive electrophilic intermediate capable of promoting this Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement.

Abstract
The kinetic data indicate that the addition of tertiary phosphines to α-methylene lactones in acetic acid is strongly accelerated in comparison to the reactions of related open-chain esters. Six-membered α-methylene-δ-valerolactone exhibited a more pronounced rate increase than five-membered α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone. The use of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactam as a nitrogen analogue of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone resulted in a total loss of the reaction acceleration. The observed reactivities were rationalized by DFT calculations at the RwB97XD/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory, showing that the intramolecular interaction between phosphonium and enolate oxygen centers provided by the locked s-cis-geometry of the heterocycles plays an important role in the stabilization of intermediate zwitterions. The reactivity is also controlled by the conformational flexibility of the heterocycle. The geometries of five-membered and, especially, six-membered lactone cycles are slightly changed upon the nucleophilic attack of phosphine, leading to the stabilizing stereoelectronic effect by the Ρ···Ο interaction. The addition of phosphine to α-methylene-γ-butyrolactam significantly distorts the initial geometry of the heterocycle, making the nucleophilic attack unfavorable. The application of the stereoelectronic effect to enhance the efficiency of the phosphine-catalyzed Michael and Pudovik reactions of α-methylene lactones was demonstrated.

Abstract
Xanthanolides were particularly characteristic of the genus Xanthium, which exhibited broad biological effects and have drawn much attention in pharmacological application. The review surveyed the structures and bioactivities of the xanthanolides in the genus Xanthium, and summarized the synthesis tactics of xanthanolides. The results indicated that over 30 naturally occurring xanthanolides have been isolated from the genus Xanthium in monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms. The bioassay-guided fractionation studies suggested that the effective fractions on antitumor activities were mostly from weak polar solvents, and xanthatin (1) was the most effective and well-studied xanthanolide. The varieties of structures and structure-activity relationships of the xanthanolides had provided the promising skeleton for the further study. The review aimed at providing guidance for the efficient preparation and the potential prospects of the xanthanolides in the medicinal industry.

Abstract
Herein, we report the enantioselective total synthesis of dysiherbols A, C, and D, a unique group of 6/6/5/6/6 pentacyclic quinone/hydroquinone sesquiterpenes, featuring a photo-induced quinone-alkene [2 + 2] cycloaddition and a tandem [1,2]-anionic rearrangement/cyclopropane fragmentation as key elements. Based on our total synthesis, the originally proposed structures of dysiherbols C and D have been revised. Detailed computational studies were carried out to gain deep insight into the unprecedented [1,2]-anionic rearrangement, which revealed that the transformation, albeit a symmetry-forbidden process, proceeded through a concerted manner owing to the release of high ring-strain energy and the evolution of local aromaticity in the transition state. Taking all, the present work offers a mechanistically interesting and synthetically useful approach to accessing dysiherbols and related congeners.

Abstract
[1,2]‐shift of atoms in alkyl fragments belongs to the class of dyotropic rearrangements. Various atoms, including halogens can be involved in the migration, however participation of iodine is unprecedented. Herein, we report our experimental and DFT studies on the oxidation triggered dyotropic rearrangement of iodo and chloro functions via butterfly‐type transition state to demonstrate the migrating ability of λ3‐iodane centre. With the exploitation of dyotropic rearrangement we designed and synthesized a novel fluoroalkyl iodonium reagent from industrial feedstock gas HFO‐1234yf. We demonstrated that the hypervalent reagent serves as an excellent fluoroalkylation agent for various amines and nitrogen heterocycles.

Abstract
A combined computational/experimental approach has revealed key mechanistic aspects in a recently reported dyotropic expansion of hydrindanes into decalins. While computer simulations had already anticipated the need for acid catalysis for making this reaction feasible under the mild conditions used in the laboratory, this work places the dyotropic step not into the reaction flask but at a later step, during the work up instead. With this information in hand the reaction has been optimized by exploring the performance of different activating agents and shown to be versatile, particularly in steroid related chemistry due to the two scaffolds that this reaction connects. Finally, the scope of the reaction has been significantly broadened by showing that this protocol can also operate in the absence of the fused six-member ring.

Abstract
Total synthesis of natural products has been one of the most exciting and dynamic areas in synthetic organic chemistry. Nowadays, the major challenge in this field is not whether a given target of interest can be synthesized but how to make it with commendable efficiency and practicality. To meet this grand challenge, a wise way is to learn from Mother Nature who is recognized for her superb capability of forging complicated and sometimes beyond-imagination molecules in her own delicate way. Indeed, since Sir Robert Robinson published his groundbreaking synthesis of tropinone in 1917, biomimetic synthesis of natural products, a process of imitating nature's way to make molecules, has evolved into one of the most popular research directions in organic synthesis.Our group has been engaging in biomimetic synthesis of natural products in the past decade. During this time, we have come to realize that the successful implementation of a biomimetic synthesis entails the orchestrated combination of bioinspiration and rational design. On the one hand, we prefer to utilize some elegant bioinspired transformations (e.g., Diels-Alder dimerization, 6π-electrocyclization, and [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition) as the key steps of our synthesis, which enable rapid construction of the core skeletons of the chased targets with high efficiency; on the other hand, various powerful reactions (e.g., dyotropic rearrangement of β-lactone, tandem aldol condensation/Grob fragmentation reaction, and organocatalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama-Michael addition) are rationally designed by us, which allow for facile access to the requisite precursors for attempting biomimetic transformations. In some cases, the proposed biomimetic transformation may fail to give a satisfactory result in practice, and thus we opt to develop creative tactics (e.g., hydrogen atom transfer-triggered vinyl cyclobutane ring opening/oxygen insertion/cyclization cascade) that can meet the challenge. Guided by this synthesis concept, we have achieved the total syntheses of multiple families of natural products of great importance in both chemistry and biology, representatives of which include xanthanolides, cytochalasans, and plakortin-type polyketides. Of note, most of these targets could be accessed in a concise, efficient, and scalable manner, which paves the way for further exploration of their biological functions and medicinal potential. Moreover, owing to their biomimetic nature, our syntheses provide valuable information for deciphering the underlying biosynthetic pathways of the chased targets, which could not be attained by other synthetic modes.

Abstract
The collective synthesis of skeletally diverse Stemona alkaloids featuring tailored dyotropic rearrangements of β-lactones as key elements is described. Specifically, three typical 5/7/5 tricyclic skeletons associated with stemoamide, tuberostemospiroline and parvistemonine were first accessed through chemoselective dyotropic rearrangements of β-lactones involving alkyl, hydrogen, and aryl migration, respectively. By the rational manipulation of substrate structures and reaction conditions, these dyotropic rearrangements proceeded with excellent efficiency, good chemoselectivity and high stereospecificity. Furthermore, several polycyclic Stemona alkaloids, including saxorumamide, isosaxorumamide, stemonine and bisdehydroneostemoninine, were obtained from the aforementioned tricyclic skeletons through late-stage derivatizations. A novel visible-light photoredox-catalyzed formal [3+2] cycloaddition was also developed, which offers a valuable tool for accessing oxaspirobutenolide and related scaffolds.
