Abstract
Synthetic approaches to bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene natural products frequently employ the synthesis of linear tetraenes to initiate a biosynthetic 8π/6π-electrocyclization cascade. This work forges a functionalized bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene in two steps from cyclooctatetraene. The versatility of this method is demonstrated through natural product synthesis, including the first total synthesis of kingianic acid A and formal syntheses of kingianins A, D, and F and cryptobeilic acid D ethyl ester. The unexpected formation of an E,E,Z,E-tetraene byproduct is rationalized through density functional theory modeling.

Abstract
In this study, we achieved an eight-step enantioselective synthesis of (-)-lamellodysidine A, a structurally intriguing sesquiterpene natural product featuring a 5/5/6/6-fused tetracyclic skeleton that was obtained from the marine sponge Lamellodysidea herbacea. The key to the synthesis is a cascade reaction that includes an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. In addition, single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of the synthetic (-)-lamellodysidine A clearly confirmed the proposed stereochemistry and absolute configuration.

Abstract
The mechanism of acetylene bromoboration in neat boron tribromide was studied carefully by means of experiment and theory. Besides the syn-addition mechanism through a four-center transition state, radical and polar anti-addition mechanisms are postulated, both triggered by HBr, which is evidenced also to take part in the Z/E isomerization of the product. The proposed mechanism is well supported by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31+G* level with Ahlrichs' SVP all-electron basis for Br. Implicit solvation in CH2Cl2 has been included using the PCM and/or SMD continuum solvent models. Comparative case studies have been performed involving the B3LYP/6-31+G* with Ahlrichs' SVP for Br and MP2/Def2TZVPP levels. The mechanistic studies resulted in development of a procedure for stereoselective bromoboration of acetylene yielding E/Z mixtures of dibromo(bromovinyl)borane with the Z-isomer as a major product (up to 85%). Transformation to the corresponding pinacol and neopentyl glycol boronates and stereoselective decomposition of their E-isomer provided pure (Z)-(2-bromovinyl)boronates in 57-60% overall yield. Their reactivity in a Negishi cross-coupling reaction was tested. An example of the one-pot reaction sequence of Negishi and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings for synthesis of combretastatin A4 is also presented.

Abstract
Antilipoperoxidant protein dysfunction is associated with many human diseases, suggesting that bilayer lipid peroxidation may contribute broadly to pathogenesis. Small molecule inhibitors of this membrane-localized chemistry could in theory enable better understanding and/or treatment of such diseases, but currently available compounds have important limitations. Many biological questions thus remain unanswered, and clinical trials have largely been disappointing. Enabled by efficient, building block-based syntheses of three atypical carotenoid natural products produced by microorganisms that thrive in environments of extreme oxidative stress, we found that peridinin is a potent inhibitor of nonenzymatic bilayer lipid peroxidation in liposomes and in primary human endothelial cells. We also found that peridinin blocks monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, a key step in atherogenesis. A series of frontier solid-state NMR experiments with a site-specifically 13C-labeled isotopolog synthesized using the same MIDA boronate building block-based total synthesis approach revealed that peridinin is completely embedded within and physically spans the hydrophobic core of POPC membranes, maximizing its effective molarity at the site of the targeted lipid peroxidation reactions. Alternatively, the widely used carotenoid astaxanthin is significantly less potent and was found to primarily localize extramembranously. Peridinin thus represents a promising and biophysically well-characterized starting point for the development of small molecule antilipoperoxidants that serve as more effective biological probes and/or therapeutics.

Abstract
Endiandric acids and related polyketide natural products arise from polyene precursors and occur naturally as fused and bridged tetracycles. In some cases, the intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions that produce fused and bridged tetracycles result from a diene tether that may act as either a 4π or 2π component in the cycloaddition. To examine the preference for fused or bridged products, we applied density functional theory (using the M06-2X and B3LYP functionals) to reactants with various substituents for both fused and bridged transition states. Fused products were generally preferred except when disfavored by extreme steric hindrance (e.g., a tert-butyl group). These computational results are consistent with experimental data and suggest the existence of as-yet undiscovered natural products.

Abstract
An iterative cross-coupling approach to conjugated trienes was explored as part of a planned stereoselective synthesis of bicyclic terpenes. Using a bifunctional bromoboronate building block, sequential Suzuki coupling reactions were employed to provide a conjugated trienone target containing a tetrasubstituted alkene. During the final cross-coupling step, an unexpected alkene isomerization was observed to give less hindered trans products. Examination of different substrates determined that conjugation to a ketone withdrawing group was responsible for isomerization, rather than steric hindrance of the tetrasubstituted alkene.

Abstract
Today we are poised for a transition from the highly customized crafting of specific molecular targets by hand to the increasingly general and automated assembly of different types of molecules with the push of a button. Creating machines that are capable of making many different types of small molecules on demand, akin to that which has been achieved on the macroscale with 3D printers, is challenging. Yet important progress is being made toward this objective with two complementary approaches: 1) Automation of customized synthesis routes to different targets by machines that enable the use of many reactions and starting materials, and 2) automation of generalized platforms that make many different targets using common coupling chemistry and building blocks. Continued progress in these directions has the potential to shift the bottleneck in molecular innovation from synthesis to imagination, and thereby help drive a new industrial revolution on the molecular scale.

Abstract
Small molecules have extensive untapped potential to benefit society, but access to this potential is too often restricted by limitations inherent to the customized approach currently used to synthesize this class of chemical matter. In contrast, the "building block approach", i.e., generalized iterative assembly of interchangeable parts, has now proven to be a highly efficient and flexible way to construct things ranging all the way from skyscrapers to macromolecules to artificial intelligence algorithms. The structural redundancy found in many small molecules suggests that they possess a similar capacity for generalized building block-based construction. It is also encouraging that many customized iterative synthesis methods have been developed that improve access to specific classes of small molecules. There has also been substantial recent progress toward the iterative assembly of many different types of small molecules, including complex natural products, pharmaceuticals, biological probes, and materials, using common building blocks and coupling chemistry. Collectively, these advances suggest that a generalized building block approach for small molecule synthesis may be within reach.
