Abstract
A one-pot access to the protoberberine and tetrahydroprotoberberine scaffold has been developed from easily available primary amine-functionalized o-alkynylbenzaldehydes. The core skeleton of protoberberine was afforded via in situ generation of isochromenylium by Ag(I) catalysis, subsequent cyclization to isoquinolinium, and final hydride reduction by a continuous operation procedure. The newly developed step-economic protocol shows excellent regio- and stereoselectivity and is capable of achieving those previously unavailable derivatives/analogues with electron-deficient substituents, providing a robust tool for medicinal investigations of protoberberines and derivatives.

Abstract
A highly effective enantioselective monobenzoylation of 1,3-diols has been developed for the synthesis of 1,1-disubstituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines. The chemistry has been successfully applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-alstrostine G, which also features a cascade Heck/hemiamination reaction enabling facile construction of the pivotal pentacyclic core.

Abstract
Tetrahydro-β-carboline skeletons are prominent and ubiquitous in an extraordinary range of indole alkaloid natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. Powerful synthetic approaches for stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carboline skeletons have immense impacts and have attracted enormous attention. Here, we outline a general chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3,4-dihydro-β-carboline-2-oxide type nitrone that enables access to three types of chiral tetrahydro-β-carbolines bearing continuous multi-chiral centers and quaternary chiral centers. The method displays different endo/exo selectivity from traditional nitrone chemistry. The distinct power of this strategy has been illustrated by application to collective and enantiodivergent total syntheses of 40 tetrahydro-β-carboline-type indole alkaloid natural products with divergent stereochemistry and varied architectures.

Abstract
Formal total syntheses of stemonamine and cephalotaxine bearing the core cyclopenta[1,2-b]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine ring skeleton were achieved. The general synthetic strategy in the synthesis features the reductive oxy-Nazarov cyclization as key step, leading to the versatile construction of N-substituted spiro quaternary stereogenic centers from readily available starting materials.

Abstract
We disclose a Michael/Conia-ene/SN2 cascade reaction for the synthesis of Indane-fused dihydrofurans from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and 2-alkynylnitrostyrenes promoted by potassium carbonate in DMSO at room temperature. In this reaction, the nitro group has a chameleonic role, first as an electron-withdrawing group for the Michael addition, then the nitronate behaves as a nucleophile, and finally, the allylic nitro acts as a leaving group. The product is obtained as a single diastereomer, affording up to 82% with 1,3-keto esters and 58% with 1,3-diketones. Furthermore, DFT calculations of the reaction mechanism explained the chemoselective addition of the nitronate over the enolate to the unactivated triple bond, with the enolate addition being highly endothermic.

Abstract
Six 8-oxoprotoberberines were synthesized collectively in four steps with acceptable yields (14-19%), of which the products 8-oxopalmatine, 8-oxopseudopalmatine, 8-oxoberberine, and 8-oxopseudoberberine come from nature. The synthetic route was featured with the In(OTf)3-catalyzed cyclization and Heck coupling. Moreover, the syntheses of the natural products berberine, canadine, and iambertine were achieved via various reductions from 8-oxoberberine, which provided a concise approach to the syntheses of this kind of alkaloids.

Abstract
We report herein an asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction of α-ketoesters. In the presence of a catalytic amount of simple alanine-derived squaramide and p-nitrobenzoic acid, reaction of tryptamines with methyl 2-oxoalkanoates afforded the corresponding 1-alkyl-1-methoxycarbonyl tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THBCs) in high yields and ee values. A primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE=4.5) using C2-deteurium-labelled tryptamine indicates that rearomatization through deprotonation of the pentahydro-β-carbolinium ion could be the rate- and enantioselectivity-determining step. A concise enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-alstratine A, a hexacyclic cagelike monoterpene indole alkaloid, featuring this reaction as a key step, was subsequently accomplished. Remeasurement of the [a]D value of the natural product indicates that natural alstratine A is dextrorotatory rather than levorotatory as it was initially reported in the isolation paper.

Abstract
In contrast to ketones and carboxylic esters, amides are classically seen as comparatively unreactive members of the carbonyl family, owing to their unique structural and electronic features. However, recent decades have seen the emergence of research programmes focused on the selective activation of amides under mild conditions. In the past four years, this area has continued to rapidly develop, with new advances coming in at a fast pace. Several novel activation strategies have been demonstrated as effective tools for selective amide activation, enabling transformations that are at once synthetically useful and mechanistically intriguing. This Minireview comprises recent advances in the field, highlighting new trends and breakthroughs in what could be called a new age of amide activation.

Abstract
The asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction (PSR) with aldehydes is well known. However, PSR involving ketones as electrophilic partners is far-less developed. We report herein the first examples of catalytic enantioselective PSR of tryptamines with α-ketoamides. A new class of easily accessible prolyl-urea organocatalysts bearing a single H-bond donor function catalyzes the title reaction to afford 1,1-disubstituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The kinetic isotope effect using C2-deuterium-labelled tryptamine indicates that the rearomatization of the pentahydro-β-carbolinium ion intermediate might be the rate- and the enantioselectivity-determining step.

Abstract
In this work, we report the strategy of one-pot synthesis of protoberberine alkaloid derivatives via palladium-catalyzed cascade α-arylation and cyclization, which can afford the target molecules in moderate to excellent isolated yields using commercially available raw materials under solvent-free conditions. This protocol provides an efficient and convenient path to multisubstituted protoberberine derivatives. In addition, it can directly afford natural alkaloids.

Abstract
Ten types of Tf2O/TTBP-mediated amide transformation reactions were investigated. The results showed that compared with pyridine derivatives 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine (DTBMP) and 2-fluoropyridine (2-F-Pyr.), TTBP can serve as an alternative amide activation system for the direct transformation of both secondary and tertiary amides. For most surveyed examples, higher or comparable yields were generally obtained. In addition, Tf2O/TTBP combination was used to promote the condensation reactions of 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)furan (TBSOF) with both tertiary and secondary amides, the one-pot reductive Bischler-Napieralski-type reaction of tertiary lactams, and Movassaghi and Hill's modern version of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction. The value of the Tf2O/TTBP-based methodology was further demonstrated by the concise and high-yielding syntheses of several natural products.

Abstract
Judicious substrate design allows interruption of the classical Bischler–Napieralski reaction, providing access to a range of diversely substituted tetracyclic spiroindolines. These complex polycyclic scaffolds are valuable building blocks for the construction of indole alkaloids, as showcased in a concise total synthesis of (±)-akuammicine. The interrupted Bischler–Napieralski reaction of β,γ-unsaturated tryptamides affords tetracyclic spiro pyrroloindolines, which can be used in the total synthesis of the Strychnos alkaloid, akuammicine.![]()

Abstract
A complementary dual carbonyl activation strategy for the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloids has been developed. Successful applications include the synthesis of tetracyclic alkaloids harmalanine and harmalacinine, pentacyclic indoloquinolizidine alkaloid nortetoyobyrine, and octacyclic β-carboline alkaloid peganumine A. The latter synthesis features a protecting-group-free assembly and an asymmetric disulfonimide-catalyzed cyclization. Furthermore, formal syntheses of hirsutine, deplancheine, 10-desbromoarborescidine A, and oxindole alkaloids rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline have been achieved. Finally, a concise synthesis of berberine alkaloid ilicifoline B was completed.
