Abstract
A new asymmetric synthetic route to (+)- and (-)-limaspermidine was devised, starting with chirally resolved enantiomerically pure 2-pyrone Diels-Alder cycloadducts. This route utilizes intramolecular Pd-catalyzed aromatic C-H amidation and imino-Diels-Alder reactions to construct the key indoline and indolizidine subunits onto the central cyclohexane core, allowing the straightforward formal total syntheses of both (+)- and (-)-limaspermidine.

Abstract
We have developed the Rh-catalyzed enantioselective [2+2+2] cycloaddition of homopropargyl enamides (tosylamide-tethered 1,6-enynes) with alkynes to construct tetrahydroindole skeletons found in natural alkaloids and pharmaceuticals. This cycloaddition proceeds at room temperature in high yields and regio- and enantioselectivity with a broad substrate scope. The preparative scale reaction followed by substituent conversion on the nitrogen atom and the diastereoselective [4+2] cycloaddition with singlet O2 affords hexahydroindole-diols bearing three stereogenic centers and variable substituents on the nitrogen. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the substituents of the enynes change the ratio of intramolecular and intermolecular rhodacycle formation when using terminal alkynes, varying the ee values of the cycloadducts.

Abstract
The Pictet-Spengler type condensation of tryptamine derivatives and aldehydes or ketones is a classic reaction, and has been previously applied to assemble indole-annulated 5-, 6- and 8-membered heterocyclic rings. In this work, we further expand the synthetic scope of this reaction to the 7-membered azepino[4,5-b]indole skeleton through the direct C-H functionalization of 2-alkyl tryptamines, in which the non-activated methylene group participates in a 7-membered ring formation with aldehydes. By combining this unprecedented ring-forming process with a second C-H olefination at the same carbon, the concise total synthesis of natural products ngouniensines is achieved, demonstrating the synthetic potential of the developed chemistry in simplifying retrosynthetic disconnections.

Abstract
Dearomative Diels-Alder cycloadditions between nitroarenes and 2-trimethylsilyloxycyclohexadiene are carried out under high pressure at room temperature in the absence of any chemical promoter. Reactions are performed with different arenes, including the highly aromatic naphthalenes and quinolines. They lead to 3D-scaffolds with exquisite exo-diastereoselectivity. The exo approach is characterized by lower distortion of the substrates in a late TS and by more favorable orbital interactions presumably between the nitro group and the dienic part, explaining the stereoselectivity.

Abstract
A highly convenient copper(I)-catalyzed oxidation-initiated cyclopropanation of indolyl ynamide for the rapid construction of indole-fused cyclopropane-lactams is described, which represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first non-noble-metal-catalyzed indolyl ynamide oxidation/dearomatization by the in situ generated α-oxo copper carbenes. Compared to hydrazone and diazo, the use of alkynes as carbene precursors allows cyclopropanation to occur under a safe and convenient pathway. Moreover, this transformation can lead to the divergent synthesis of pentacyclic spiroindolines involving the reversal of ynamide regioselectivity by engineering substrate structures.

Abstract
Dearomatization of indoles through a charge transfer complex constitutes a powerful tool for synthesizing three-dimensional constrained structures. However, the implementation of this strategy for the dearomatization of tryptamine-derived isocyanides to generate spirocyclic scaffolds remains underdeveloped. In this work, we have demonstrated the ability of tryptamine-derived isocyanides to form aggregates at higher concentration, enabling a single electron transfer step to generate carbon-based-radical intermediates. Optical, HRMS and computational studies have elucidated key aspects associated with the photophysical properties of tryptamine-derived isocyanides. The developed protocol is operationally simple, robust and demonstrates a novel approach to generate conformationally constrained spirocyclic scaffolds, compounds with high demand in various fields, including drug discovery.

Abstract
Aspidosperma and uleine alkaloids belong to the large family of monoterpene indole alkaloids with diverse biological activities and thus have attracted extensive synthetic interest. Reported is the development of a new synthetic strategy that allows direct C3-C2' linkage of indoles with functionalized 2-hydroxypiperidines to construct the core common to all aspidoserma and uleine alkaloids. Such indole-piperidine linkage is enabled by coupling aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement (AAR) with indoles via an intermolecular aza-Friedel-Crafts (iAFC) reaction. This AAR-iAFC reaction proceeds under mild acidic conditions with wide tolerance of functional groups (33 examples). The synthetic application of the AAR-iAFC method was demonstrated with collective total syntheses of 3 uleine-type and 6 aspidosperma alkaloids: (+)-3-epi-N-nor-dasycarpidone, (+)-3-epi-dasycarpidone, (+)-3-epi-uleine, 1,2-didehydropseudoaspidospermidine, 1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine, vincadifformine, winchinine B, aspidospermidine, and N-acetylaspidospermidine. We expect that this AAR-iAFC strategy is applicable to other monoterpene indole alkaloids with the C3-C2' linkage of indoles and piperidines.

Abstract
The Beckmann elimination and nucleophile-intercepted Beckmann fragmentation (NuBFr) of oximes starting from regioisomeric indolinyl bicyclic ketones lead to products that are subjected to further synthetic manipulations and ultimately result in the stereospecific formation of densely functionalized hexahydrocarbazoles. The Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of a key alkenyl bromide intermediate with various boronic acids gives arylated products.

Abstract
Tryptamine-derived isocyanides are valuable building blocks in the construction of spirocyclic indolenines and indolines via dearomatization of the indole moiety. We report the Bu4N[Fe(CO)3NO]-catalyzed carbene transfer of α-diazo esters to 3-(2-isocyanoethyl)indoles, leading to ketenimine intermediates that undergo spontaneous dearomative spirocyclization. The utility of this iron-catalyzed carbene transfer/spirocyclization cascade was demonstrated by its use as a key step in the formal total synthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (±)-aspidofractinine, (±)-limaspermidine, (±)-aspidospermidine, and (±)-17-demethoxy-N-acetylcylindrocarine.

Abstract
Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) are endowed with high structural and spatial complexity and characterized by diverse biological activities. Given this complexity-activity combination in MIAs, rapid and efficient access to chemical matter related to and with complexity similar to these alkaloids would be highly desirable, since such compound classes might display novel bioactivity. We describe the design and synthesis of a pseudo-natural product (pseudo-NP) collection obtained by the unprecedented combination of MIA fragments through complexity-generating transformations, resulting in arrangements not currently accessible by biosynthetic pathways. Cheminformatic analyses revealed that both the pseudo-NPs and the MIAs reside in a unique and common area of chemical space with high spatial complexity-density that is only sparsely populated by other natural products and drugs. Investigation of bioactivity guided by morphological profiling identified pseudo-NPs that inhibit DNA synthesis and modulate tubulin. These results demonstrate that the pseudo-NP collection occupies similar biologically relevant chemical space that Nature has endowed MIAs with.

Abstract
We report here a homo-Mannich reaction of cyclopropanol with an iminium ion, generated by an asymmetric allylic dearomatization of indole, to construct a tricyclic hydrocarbazole core, which is shared by a variety of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids across families. Through this approach, an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center as well as an allyl and a ketone group were installed. Using this functionalized hydrocarbazole as the structural platform, D ring and E rings of different sizes (i.e., five-, six-, and seven-membered) were successively or simultaneously assembled, leading to a collective asymmetric synthesis of seven alkaloids belonging to the ibophyllidine, Aspidosperma, Kopsia, and Melodinus alkaloid families.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reaction has proved to be a powerful protocol for rapid assembly of valuable three-dimensional cyclic compounds from readily available planar aromatics. In contrast to the well-studied indoles and naphthols, phenols have been considered challenging substrates for intermolecular CADA reactions due to the combination of strong aromaticity and potential regioselectivity issue over the multiple nucleophilic sites (O, C2 as well as C4). Reported herein are the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed divergent intermolecular CADA reactions of common phenols with azoalkenes, which deliver the tetrahydroindolone and cyclohexadienone products bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in good yields with excellent ee values. Notably, simply adjusting the reaction temperature leads to the chemo-divergent intermolecular (3 + 2) and alkylation dearomatization reactions. Moreover, the stereo-divergent synthesis of four possible stereoisomers in a kind has been achieved via changing the sequence of catalyst enantiomers.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative aryl-difluoroallylation reaction of indoles with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes as an electrophilic coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via a cascade sequence involving dearomative Heck cyclization and reductive allylic defluorination. A series of gem-difluoroallyl substituted indolines are obtained in moderate to good yields (36-77% yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The reaction features broad functional group tolerance, scaled-up synthesis, and late-stage diversification.

Abstract
The dearomative spiro-etherification of naphthols is achieved using catalytic amounts of riboflavin tetracetate (RFTA) as a photosensitizer and molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidizing agent under blue light (440 nm) irradiation in the presence of acid. The presence of acid increases the photooxidation power of RFTA and facilitates the dearomatization reaction.

Abstract
The rhodium(III)-catalyzed reaction of aniline derivatives that contain a pyrimidine-directing group with vinylsilanes results in the formation of C3-substituted indoline derivatives. The reaction path and formation of the indoline product with density functional theory calculations were analyzed. This study reveals that the whole catalysis can be characterized in the following stages: (I) C-H activation via concerted metalation deprotonation, (II) 2,1-vinylsilane insertion, (III) deprotonation of the NH amide proton, (IV) the oxidation of Ag+, and (V) reductive elimination. These steps are kinetically and thermodynamically feasible for experimental realization under mild conditions, and the insertion step with a barrier of 22.0 kcal/mol should not only be the critical step of regioselectivity but also the rate-determining step during the whole catalysis. Computations reveal that the Ag+ oxidation can accelerate the reductive elimination step after the formation of natural intermediate, thus highlighting the role of Ag+ as a catalytic promoter for the oxidatively induced reactivity of the Rh catalyst in C3-substituted indoline synthesis.

Abstract
We report a new photocatalyzed remote alkyl radical generation and cyclization to prepare substituted indolines in a green, metal-free procedure. This method complements the Fischer indolization, metal-catalyzed couplings, and photocatalyzed radical addition and cyclization. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated, including aryl halides, that would not be compatible with most existing methods. Electronic bias and substitution were studied to demonstrate complete regiocontrol and high chemocontrol in the indoline formation.

Abstract
Covering: 2011 to 2022The natural world is a prolific source of some of the most interesting, rare, and complex molecules known, harnessing sophisticated biosynthetic machinery evolved over billions of years for their production. Many of these natural products represent high-value targets of total synthesis, either for their desirable biological activities or for their beautiful structures outright; yet, the high sp3-character often present in nature's molecules imparts significant topological complexity that pushes the limits of contemporary synthetic technology. Dearomatization is a foundational strategy for generating such intricacy from simple materials that has undergone considerable maturation in recent years. This review highlights the recent achievements in the field of dearomative methodology, with a focus on natural product total synthesis and retrosynthetic analysis. Disconnection guidelines and a three-phase dearomative logic are described, and a spotlight is given to nature's use of dearomatization in the biosynthesis of various classes of natural products. Synthetic studies from 2011 to 2021 are reviewed, and 425 references are cited.

Abstract
We report an intramolecular conjugate addition/Truce-Smiles/E1cb cascade of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide-functionalized cyclohexenones as a new entry to the core scaffold of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The method was applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-limaspermidine, (-)-kopsinilam, and (-)-kopsinine, as well as the framework of the kopsifoline alkaloids, thus highlighting its complementarity to existing approaches involving the use of indole-based starting materials or the interrupted Fischer indole synthesis. Furthermore, we show that the cascade tolerates various substituents on the nitroarene, opening the way to other natural products as well as non-natural analogues.

Abstract
A synthesis of deoxyaspidodispermine was produced from homotyramine. This approach is based on the application of a functional protecting group strategy that not only masks the reactivity of sensitive groups during crucial steps but also possesses a moiety desired in the final target, which is transferred to the substrate at the time of deprotection. This synthesis highlights an aza-Michael-Smiles ring-closure cascade, which enables the formation of a tetracyclic system from a nosylamide protecting group.

Abstract
The diastereoselective synthesis of sulfonylated indolines is reported. A palladium-catalyzed dearomative sulfination of (aza)indole-tethered aryl iodides generates reactive benzylic sulfinates. These intermediates react with electrophiles in a one-pot, two-step process to generate sulfonylated products in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. This three-component sequence demonstrates good scalability and can be applied toward the synthesis of sulfonamides. Additionally, further derivatizations of aryl iodide containing products furnish spiro- and alkynylated indoline products.

Abstract
cis-Hydroindole scaffolds widely exist in a large number of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and organocatalysts. Therefore, the development of efficient and enantioselective methods for the construction of cis-hydroindoles is of great interest and importance. Herein, a novel approach for the enantioselective synthesis of cis-hydroindole scaffolds has been realized through a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Mg(OTf)2 complex catalyzed asymmetric inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction of 2-pyrones and cyclic enamines. A series of substituted cis-hydroindole derivatives bearing multiple contiguous stereocenters and functional groups were obtained in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, and 95% ee) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the enantioselective formal total synthesis of (+)-minovincine was concisely furnished with high efficiency and stereoselectivity to demonstrate the synthetic potential of this method.

Abstract
We describe the first total synthesis of complex aspidosperma alkaloids (-)-voacinol and (-)-voacandimine C via a late-stage C7-methylenation strategy inspired by a biogenetic hypothesis. We envisioned rapid access to these natural alkaloids from a common, symmetrical precursor assembled by methylenation of a D-ring-oxidized variant of the structurally related natural product (-)-deoxoapodine. Chemoselective N9-oxidation of a pentacyclic deoxoapodine precursor enabled the synthesis of the corresponding hexacyclic C8-aminonitrile. Stereocontrolled methylenation of a C8-enamine derivative of deoxoapodine, accessed by ionization of the C8-aminonitrile, afforded a symmetrical dodecacyclic bisaminonitrile as a versatile precursor to these bisindole alkaloids. The final-stage, biosynthesis-inspired, controlled reductive opening of the oxolane substructures of this dodecacyclic intermediate provided a unified approach to (-)-voacinol and (-)-voacandimine C, while direct reduction of the same intermediate afforded the structurally related (-)-methylenebisdeoxoapodine.

Abstract
![]()
Here we report the
oxidative umpolung of 2,3-disubstituted indoles
toward enantioselective dearomative aza-spirocyclization to give the
corresponding spiroindolenines using chiral quaternary ammonium hypoiodite
catalysis. Mechanistic studies revealed the umpolung reactivity of
C3 of indoles by iodination of the indole nitrogen atom. Moreover,
the introduction of pyrazole as an electron-withdrawing auxiliary
group at C2 suppressed a competitive dissociative racemic pathway,
and enantioselective spirocyclization proceeded to give not only spiropyrrolidines
but also four-membered spiroazetidines that are otherwise difficult
to access.

Abstract
The complex structures and important biological functions of Strychnos alkaloids have attracted a great deal of attention from synthetic chemists. Herein, we describe the concise asymmetric total syntheses of the Strychnos alkaloids, (-)-dehydrotubifoline, (-)-tubifoline, and (-)-tubifolidine, as well as the formal total synthesis of (-)-strychnine. Our strategy features the construction of the common tetracyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole structure using regioselective Fischer indolization on unsymmetrical cyclic ketones and late-stage functionalization for divergent synthesis. We developed a stepwise Fischer indolization featuring selective formation of enol triflate to solve the challenging regioselectivity problem, leading to the common tetracyclic ring skeleton in these Strychnos alkaloids. The regioselectivity of Fischer indolization on unsymmetrical cyclic ketones was studied on the basis of different types of ring systems and supported by density functional theory calculations. Overall, our success in the construction of this tetracyclic ring secured the syntheses of Strychnos alkaloids and may provide a general method for the total syntheses of various alkaloids containing this skeleton.

Abstract
We describe a palladium-catalyzed C7-acetoxylation of indolines with a range of amide directing groups. While a variety of substituents are tolerated on the indoline-core and the N1-acyl group, the acetoxylation is most sensitive to the C2- and C6-indoline substituents. The practicality of this indoline C7-acetoxylation is demonstrated using a cinnamamide substrate on a mmol scale. Several N1-acyl groups, including those present in natural alkaloids, guide C7-acetoxylation of indoline substrates over a competitive C5-oxidation. The application of this chemistry allowed for the first synthesis of N-benzoylcylindrocarine by late-stage C17-acetoxylation of N-benzoylfendleridine.

Abstract
Olefin functionalization represents one of the most important synthetic transformations in organic synthesis. Over the past decades, palladium-catalyzed enantioselective Heck reactions, and Heck/anion-capture domino sequences through olefin carbopalladation followed by termination of the resulting alkyl-Pd species have been extensively developed. Extension of the coupling partners from classical olefins to other π-components would enable further advances and open new space in this field. Aromatics are important and easily available bulk chemicals. Dearomative transformation of endocyclic aromatic π-bonds via the Heck reaction pathway provides an efficient and straightforward route to structurally diverse alicyclic compounds. Nevertheless, major challenges for this transformation include aromaticity breaking and reactivity and selectivity issues.Recently, we have engaged in developing catalytic enantioselective dearomative Heck reactions and related domino reactions. A range of heteroarenes and naphthalenes have been employed as novel π-coupling partners in these reactions. Through dearomative migratory insertion of endocyclic aromatic C-C π-bonds followed by interception of the transient alkyl-Pd species, enantioselective Heck reactions, reductive Heck reactions, Heck/anion-capture difunctionalization reactions, and heteroarenyne cycloisomerization reactions have been established. Relying on β-H elimination of the alkyl-Pd intermediate, we realized enantioselective dearomative Heck reactions with a range of aromatic partners, including heterocyclic indoles, pyrroles, furans, benzofurans, and more challenging carbocyclic naphthalenes. In order to avoid the utilization of organohalide electrophiles, heteroarenyne cycloisomerization reaction was developed by merging intermolecular alkyne hydropalladation with intramolecular dearomative Heck reaction. Cycloisomerization of alkyne-tethered indoles delivered chiral indolines in excellent enantioselectivities with 100% atom economy. On the other hand, Heck/anion-capture domino sequences were established through nucleophilic trapping of the alkyl-Pd intermediate. When HCO2Na was employed as a capturing reagent, the enantioselective dearomative reductive Heck reaction of indoles was realized. By employing other nucleophiles, including alkynes, N-sulfonylhydrazones, and organoboron reagents, we developed a series of dearomative difunctionalization reactions. Two vicinal stereocenters with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities were constructed in the corresponding Heck/Sonogashira, Heck/vinylation, and Heck/borylation reactions. Moreover, dearomative 1,4-diarylation of naphthalenes was developed through Heck/Suzuki domino reactions, in which competitive C-H arylation and the direct Suzuki reaction were almost fully inhibited in the presence of a spiro-phosphoramidite ligand.In this Account, we provide a panoramic view of our results since 2015 on enantioselective Heck reactions and related domino sequences by extending the coupling partners from classical olefins to aromatic systems. Investigations outlined in this Account established straightforward and efficient access to a variety of structurally diverse chiral heteropolycyclic molecules starting from simple and planar aromatic compounds.

Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed cascade difunctionalization of N-allyl anilines toward the synthesis of silylated indolines using commercially available silanes has been reported. This strategy provides a new avenue for the synthesis of a diverse array of indolines in reasonable yields. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction probably proceeds via a radical pathway with unactivated alkenes as radical acceptors and simple silanes as radical precursors. This protocol is distinguished by its atom economy, broad substrate scope and readily available starting materials.

Abstract
The concise, collective, and asymmetric total syntheses of four schizozygane alkaloids, which feature a "Pan lid"-like hexacyclic core scaffold bearing up to six continuous stereocenters, including two quaternary ones, are described. A new method of dearomative cyclization of cyclopropanol onto the indole ring at C2 was developed to build the ABCF ring system of the schizozygane core with a ketone group. Another key skeleton-building reaction, the Heck/carbonylative lactamization cascade, ensured the rapid assembly of the hexacyclic schizozygane core and concurrent installation of an alkene group. By strategic use of these two reactions and through late-stage diversifications of the functionalized schizozygane core, the first and asymmetric total syntheses of (+)-schizozygine, (+)-3-oxo-14α,15α-epoxyschizozygine, and (+)-α-schizozygol and the total synthesis of (+)-strempeliopine have been accomplished in 11-12 steps from tryptamines.

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
Tandem reactions of the yttrium(iii) catalyzed ring-opening reaction of 2,2'-diester aziridines with 3-(2-isocyanoethyl)indoles and the subsequent Friedel-Crafts/Mannich/desulfonylation were reported. A series of polycyclic spiroindolines containing tetrahydro-β-carbolines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields (56-92%) in one step under mild reaction conditions. A possible catalytic mechanism was also proposed.

Abstract
A divergent synthesis of skeletally distinct arboridinine and arborisidine was achieved. The central divergent strategy was inspired by the divergent biosynthetic cyclization mode of arboridinine and arborisidine and their hidden topological connection. The branch point was reached through a Michael and Mannich cascade process. A site-selective intramolecular Mannich reaction was developed to construct the tetracyclic core of arboridinine, while a site-selective intramolecular α-amination of ketone was used to access the tetracyclic core of arborisidine. A strategic Peterson olefination through intramolecular nucleophile delivery was able to set up the exocyclic olefin of arboridinine.

Abstract
Indole dearomatization is an important strategy to access indolines: a motif present in a variety of natural products and biologically active molecules. Herein, a method for transition-metal catalyzed regioselective dearomative arylboration of indoles to generate diverse indolines is presented. The method accomplishes intermolecular dearomatization of simple indoles through a migratory insertion pathway on substrates that lack activating or directing groups on the C2- or C3-positions. Synthetically useful C2- and C3-borylated indolines can be accessed through a simple change in N-protecting group in high regio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >40:1 rr and >40:1 dr) from readily available starting materials. Additionally, the origin of regioselectivity was explored experimentally and computationally to uncover the remarkable interplay between carbonyl orientation of the N-protecting group on indole, electronics of the C2-C3 π-bond, and sterics. The method enabled the first enantioselective synthesis of (-)-azamedicarpin.
