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
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
A divergent strategy for natural polyketides synthesis has been designed. This synthetic route allowed chemical alterations leading to all stereoisomers of the natural agropyrenol 1, sordarial 2, and heterocornol B 4. Key steps involve desymmetrization of divinylcarbinol using asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation and Heck coupling of an easily available aromatic partner and prepared chiral alkene. The versatility of the synthetic method was demonstrated on the preparation of heterocornol A 3 and sordariol 5. The absolute and relative configurations of prepared natural compounds 2·1/3C6H12 and 4 were confirmed and assigned by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Abstract
A simple and effective tandem reaction of diynones and allylic alcohols was developed to afford functionalized 3-allyl-4-pyrones in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol underwent a Michael addition─Claisen rearrangement─O-cyclization process, which exhibited broad substrate tolerance, high regioselectivity, and atom economy under a metal-free condition. Moreover, functional transformation of the products was also further studied.

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
![]()
A nonthermodynamic array of four skipped methylene substituents on the hydrophobic tail
renders limaol, a C40-polyketide of marine origin, unique in structural terms. This
conspicuous segment was assembled by a two-directional approach and finally coupled to
the polyether domain by an allyl/alkenyl Stille reaction under neutral conditions. The
core region itself was prepared via a 3,3′-dibromo-BINOL-catalyzed asymmetric
propargylation, a gold-catalyzed spirocyclization, and introduction of the southern
sector via substrate-controlled allylation as the key steps.

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
![]()
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
Marine natural products (MNPs) containing pyrone rings have been isolated
from numerous marine organisms, and also produced by marine fungi and bacteria, particularly,
actinomycetes. They constitute a versatile structure unit of bioactive natural
products that exhibit various biological activities such as antibiotic, antifungal, cytotoxic,
neurotoxic, phytotoxic and anti-tyrosinase. The two structure isomers of pyrone ring are γ-
pyrone and α-pyrone. In terms of chemical motif, γ-pyrone is the vinologous form of α-
pyrone which possesses a lactone ring. Actinomycete bacteria are responsible for the production
of several α-pyrone compounds such as elijopyrones A-D, salinipyrones and violapyrones
etc. to name a few. A class of pyrone metabolites, polypropionates which have
fascinating carbon skeleton, is primarily produced by marine molluscs. Interestingly, some
of the pyrone polytketides which are found in cone snails are actually synthesized by actinomycete bacteria.
Several pyrone derivatives have been obtained from marine fungi such as Aspergillums flavus, Altenaria sp.,
etc. The γ-pyrone derivative namely, kojic acid obtained from Aspergillus fungus has high commercial demand
and finds various applications. Kojic acid and its derivative displayed inhibition of tyrosinase activity and, it is
also extensively used as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Owing to their commercial and biological significance,
the synthesis of pyrone containing compounds has been given attention over the past years. Few reviews
on the total synthesis of pyrone containing natural products namely, polypropionate metabolites have been reported.
However, these reviews skipped other marine pyrone metabolites and also omitted discussion on isolation
and detailed biological activities. This review presents a brief account of the isolation of marine metabolites
containing a pyrone ring and their reported bio-activities. Further, the review covers the synthesis of marine
pyrone metabolites such as cyercene-A, placidenes, onchitriol-I, onchitriol-II, crispatene, photodeoxytrichidione,
(-) membrenone-C, lihualide-B, macrocyclic enol ethers and auripyrones-A & B.

Abstract
Development of a synthetic route to the oxaphenalenone (OP) natural products neonectrolides B-E is described. The synthesis relies on gold-catalyzed 6-endo-dig hydroarylation of an unusual enynol substrate as well as a one-pot Rieche formylation/cyclization/deprotection sequence to efficiently construct the tricyclic oxaphenalenone framework in the form of a masked ortho-quinone methide (o-QM). A tandem cycloisomerization/[4 + 2] cycloaddition strategy was employed to quickly construct molecules resembling the neonectrolides. The tricyclic OP natural product SF226 could be converted to corymbiferan lactone E and a related masked o-QM. Our study culminates with the application of the tandem reaction sequence to syntheses of neonectrolides B-E as well as previously unreported exo-diastereomers.

Abstract
In the presence of simple iron salts, 2‐pyridone derivatives react with Grignard reagents under mild conditions to give the corresponding 1,6‐addition products; if the reaction medium is supplemented with an aprotic dipolar cosolvent after the actual addition step, the intermediates primarily formed succumb to ring opening, giving rise to non‐thermodynamic Z,E‐configured dienoic acid amide derivatives which are difficult to make otherwise. Control experiments as well as the isolation and crystallographic characterization of a (tricarbonyl)iron pyridone complex suggest that the active iron catalyst generated in situ exhibits high affinity to the polarized diene system embedded into the heterocyclic ring system of the substrates, which likely serves as the actual recognition element.

Abstract
The marine natural product pateamine A (1) and its somewhat simplified designer analogue DMDA-Pat A (2) (DMDA = desmethyl-desamino) are potently cytotoxic compounds; most notably, 2 had previously been found to exhibit a promising differential in vivo activity in xenograft melanoma models, even though the ubiquitous eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) constitutes its primary biological target. In addition, 1 had also been identified as a possible lead in the quest for medication against cachexia, an often lethal muscle wasting syndrome affecting many immunocompromised or cancer patients. The short supply of these macrodiolides, however, rendered a more detailed biological assessment difficult. Therefore, a new synthetic approach to 1 and 2 has been devised, which centers on an unorthodox strategy for the formation of the highly isomerization-prone but essential Z, E-configured dienoate substructure embedded into the macrocyclic core. This motif was encoded in the form of a 2-pyrone ring and unveiled only immediately before macrocyclization by an unconventional iron-catalyzed ring opening/cross-coupling reaction, in which the enol ester entity of the pyrone gains the role of a leaving group. Since the required precursor was readily available by gold catalysis, this strategy rendered the overall sequence short, robust, and scalable. A surprisingly easy protecting group management together with a much improved end game for the formation of the trienyl side chain via a modern Stille coupling protocol also helped to make the chosen route practical. Change of a single building block allowed the synthesis to be redirected from the natural lead compound 1 toward its almost equipotent analogue 2. Isolation and reactivity profiling of pyrone tricarbonyliron complexes provide mechanistic information as well as insights into the likely origins of the observed chemoselectivity.

Abstract
α-Oxoketenes generated in situ by a thermal Wolff rearrangement have been found to participate as 1,2- and 1,4-ambident C-electrophilic/O-nucleophilic reagents towards donor/acceptor carbonyl-stabilized Wittig ylides. This resulted in the very direct and practical syntheses of functionalized allenes by a normal Wittig olefination, 4H-pyran-4-ones by an abnormal Wittig olefination, or 4H-pyranylidenes following a Wittig/abnormal Wittig cascade sequence as a function of the substrates combination employed. Mechanistic experimental and computational studies provided a full rational for these reactivity switches. Some unusual mechanistic features for Lewis acid-free Wittig olefinations were identified in this series such as the involvement of betaine intermediates and some degree of reversibility in the normal Wittig olefination. The abnormal Wittig olefination was fully uncovered.

Abstract
2-Pyrones and 4-pyrones are common structural motifs in bioactive natural products. However, traditional methods for their synthesis, which try to emulate the biosynthetic pathway of cyclization of a 1,3,5-tricarbonyl precursor, are often harsh and, therefore, not particularly suitable for applications to polyfunctionalized and/or sensitive target compounds. π-Acid catalysis, in contrast, has proved to be better for a systematic exploration of the pyrone estate. To this end, alkynes are used as stable ketone surrogates, which can be activated under exceedingly mild conditions due to the pronounced carbophilicity of [LAu]+ fragments (L=two electron donor ligand); attack of a tethered ester carbonyl group onto the transient alkyne-gold complex then forges the pyrone ring in a fully regiocontrolled manner.

Abstract
Mandelalide A and three congeners had recently been isolated as the supposedly highly cytotoxic principles of an ascidian collected off the South African coastline. Since these compounds are hardly available from the natural source, a concise synthesis route was developed, targeting structure 1 as the purported representation of mandelalide A. The sequence involves an iridium-catalyzed two-directional Krische allylation and a cobalt-catalyzed carbonylative epoxide opening as entry points for the preparation of the major building blocks. The final stages feature the first implementation of terminal acetylene metathesis into natural product total synthesis, which is remarkable in that this class of substrates had been beyond the reach of alkyne metathesis for decades. Synthetic 1, however, proved not to be identical with the natural product. In an attempt to clarify this issue, NMR spectra were simulated for 20 conceivable diastereomers by using DFT followed by DP4 analysis; however, this did not provide a reliable assignment either. The puzzle was ultimately solved by the preparation of three diastereomers, of which compound 6 proved identical with mandelalide A in all analytical and spectroscopic regards. As the entire "northern sector" about the tetrahydrofuran ring in 6 shows the opposite configuration of what had originally been assigned, it is highly likely that the stereostructures of the sister compounds mandelalides B-D must be corrected analogously; we propose that these natural products are accurately represented by structures 68-70. In an attempt to prove this reassignment, an entry into mandelalides C and D was sought by subjecting an advanced intermediate of the synthesis of 6 to a largely unprecedented intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, which furnished the γ-lactone derivative 74 as a mixture of diastereomers. Whereas (24R)-74 was amenable to a hydroxyl-directed dihydroxylation by using OsO4 /TMEDA as the reagent, the sister compound (24S)-74 did not follow a directed path but simply obeyed Kishi's rule; only this unexpected escape precluded the preparation of mandelalides C and D by this route. A combined spectroscopic and computational (DFT) study showed that the reasons for this strikingly different behavior of the two diastereomers of 74 are rooted in their conformational peculiarities. This aspect apart, our results show that the OsO4 /TMEDA complex reacts preferentially with electron deficient double bonds even if other alkenes are present that are more electron rich and less encumbered. Finally, in a brief biological survey authentic mandelalide A (6) was found to exhibit appreciable cytotoxicity only against one out of three tested human cancer cell lines and all synthetic congeners were hardly active. No significant fungicidal properties were observed.
