Abstract
Reported herein is the development of a simple but practical catalytic system for the selective reduction of amides with hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane. Low-cost and readily available triethylborane (1.0 M in THF), in combination with a catalytic amount of an alkali metal base, was found to catalyze the reduction of all three amide classes (tertiary, secondary, and primary amides) to form amines under mild conditions. In addition, the selective transformation of secondary amides to aldimines and primary amides to nitriles can also be achieved by using a proper combination of BEt3 and base. The scope of these BEt3-base-catalyzed amide hydrosilylation reactions has been explored in depth. Preliminary results of mechanistic studies suggest a modified Piers' silane Si-H···B activation mode wherein the hydride abstraction by BEt3 is promoted by the coordination of an alkoxide or hydroxide anion to the Si center.

Abstract
The efficiency becomes a key issue in today's natural product total synthesis. While biomimetic synthesis is one of the most elegant strategies to achieve synthetic efficiency and thus to approach the ideal synthesis, most biogenetic pathways are unknown or unconfirmed. In this account, we demonstrate, through the shortest and also the most efficient asymmetric total syntheses of the hexacyclic alkaloid (-)-chaetominine to date, that on the basis of biogenetic thinking, one can develop quite efficient bio-inspired total synthesis, which in turn serves to suggest and chemically validate plausible biosynthetic routes for the natural product. The synthetic strategy thus developed is also inspiring for the development of other synthetic methods and efficient total synthesis of other natural products.

Abstract
The first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-verrupyrroloindoline (20% overall yield in 6 steps) is described. The short approach was enabled by Buchwald's Cu(II)-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate reduction, DMDO-triggered one-pot four-step tandem reaction, and the first amide-selective Ir-catalyzed direct reduction of β-carboethoxy tertiary lactam. Along with the total synthesis, the absolute configuration of natural verrupyrroloindoline was determined as 7 R,10 R,11 R.

Abstract
AbstractAlkaloids are a large family of natural products that mostly contain basic nitrogen atoms.
