Abstract
A thermal rearrangement leading to dihydrofuropyridinones and related polycyclic ring systems from furanones and cyclobutenones is described. A key feature of the reaction is the thermally induced hydride transfer from a 3°-amine to a conjugated allene to trigger cyclization.

Abstract
Elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is both a consequence and driver of the upregulated metabolism and proliferation of transformed cells. The resulting increase in oxidative stress is postulated to saturate the cellular antioxidant machinery, leaving cancer cells susceptible to agents that further elevate their intracellular oxidative stress. Several small molecules, including the marine natural product cribrostatin 6, have been demonstrated to trigger apoptosis in cancer cells by increasing intracellular ROS. Here, we report the modular synthesis of a series of cribrostatin 6 derivatives, and assessment of their activity in a number of cell lines. We establish that placing a phenyl ring on carbon 8 of cribrostatin 6 leads to increased potency, and observe a window of selectivity towards cancer cells. The mechanism of activity of this more potent analogue is assessed and demonstrated to induce apoptosis in cancer cells by increasing ROS. Our results demonstrate the potential for targeting tumors with molecules that enhance intracellular oxidative stress.

Abstract
A total synthesis of the aglycone of IB-00208 was accomplished in 22 steps using a newly developed approach towards polycyclic 1,4-dioxygenated xanthones from benzocyclobutenones. The generality of this entry to xanthones was initially established on several model systems before it was successfully applied to the construction of the hexacyclic core of the natural product. A new and potentially general approach towards angularly-fused benzocyclobutenones using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was also developed.

Abstract
![]()
Hexacyclic xanthone natural products
such as IB-00208 present a formidable challenge in organic synthesis.
A new approach to polycyclic 1,4-dioxygenated xanthones from benzocyclobutenones
has been developed and applied to the first total synthesis of the
aglycone of IB-00208. The 22-step synthesis features an acetylide
stitching process that joins an aryl aldehyde with an angularly fused
benzocyclobutenone, which was prepared by a ring-closing
metathesis reaction. The resulting acetylenic benzocyclobutenone
diol underwent a Moore rearrangement to give an intermediate that
was further elaborated to the aglycone of IB-00208 as a mixture of
hydroquinone–quinone tautomers.

Abstract
Changing course: While organolithium and Grignard reagents favor addition to C1 of A (R=Me), the corresponding organoytterbium reagents add to C2 (R=tBu). Computational studies provide insights into the nature of organoytterbium species and their reactivity, and a total synthesis of (-)-mansonone B illustrates the utility of the method in terpenoid synthesis.

Abstract
The rapid synthesis of 1,4-dioxygenated xanthones and related natural products employing the Moore rearrangement as a key transformation has been developed. The approach features an acetylide stitching step to unite a substituted squaric acid with a protected hydroxy benzaldehyde derivative to provide a key intermediate that undergoes facile Moore rearrangement to deliver a hydroxymethyl aryl quinone. Subsequent oxidation, hydroxy group deprotection and cyclization then affords highly functionalized xanthones. The utility of the approach was demonstrated by its application to a concise and efficient synthesis of the naturally-occurring xanthone 1. The structure of a natural product that had been named dulcisxanthone C was also corrected to that of the xanthone 1.
