Abstract
Covering: 1998 up to the end of 2023Since its initial disclosure in 1951, the Kornblum DeLaMare rearrangement has proved an important synthetic transformation and has been widely adopted as a biomimetic step in natural product synthesis. Utilising the base catalysed decomposition of alkyl peroxides to yield a ketone and alcohol has found use in many syntheses as well as a key strategic step, including the unmasking of furans, as a biomimetic synthetic tool, and the use of the rearrangement to install oxygen enantioselectively. Since ca. 1998, its impact as a synthetic transformation has grown significantly, especially given the frequency of use in natural product syntheses, therefore this 25 year time period will be the focus of the review.

Abstract
The Wieland–Miescher ketone, Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert ketone, and their analogues are bicyclic diketones essential as building blocks for the synthesis of several natural and bioactive molecules. For this reason, since 1971, when Hajos and Parrish and Eder, Sauer, and Wiechert reported the stereoselective synthesis of these compounds promoted by L-proline, numerous methodologies and organocatalysts have been studied over the years with the aim of identifying increasingly efficient asymmetrical syntheses of these bicyclic ketones. This review will outline the methodological and stereochemical features of the organocatalytic stereoselective synthesis of these bicyclic scaffolds based on the different organocatalysts employed from 1971 until today. Particular emphasis will be given to the structural features of the catalysts and to the reaction conditions.

Abstract
Asymmetric 1,4-dihydroxylations of 1,3-dienes, and other transformations, are initiated by the Pt-catalyzed enantioselective addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B(2)(pin)(2)) to conjugated dienes. The studies reported in this communication suggest that both cyclic and acyclic substrates will participate in this reaction; however, dienes which are unable to adopt the S-cis conformation are unreactive. For most substrates, 1,4-addition is the predominant pathway. In addition to oxidation to the derived 2-buten-1,4-diol, stereoselective carbonyl allylation with the intermediate bis(boronate) ester is also described.

Abstract
Dihydro-Beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenoids are a structurally diverse class of natural products based on tricyclic 5,11-epoxy-5Beta,10alpha-eudesman-4-(14)-ene skeleton. Between January 1990 and June 2006, 462 new dihydro-Beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenoids of 74 structural types have been isolated from about 64 species of Celastraceae, 3 species of Hippocrateaceae and one species of Lamiaceae. The present review covers the chemical and biological activity research of dihydro-Beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenoids in the past 16 years. The chemical research includes structural classification into sesquiterpene polyesters and macrolide sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids, synthesis of dihydro-Beta-agarofuran as well as extraction, isolation and purification methods. The biological activity research includes activities such as multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity, HIV inhibition, cytotoxicity, antitumor activity, antifeedant activity and insecticidal activity with some insights to their modes of actions.

Abstract
The G3(MP2) method has been employed to study the 1,4-addition reactions between singlet oxygen and five acenes, including benzene, naphthalene, anthrecene, tetracene, and pentacene. In all, nine pathways between O(2) and the five acenes have been investigated. Our calculated results indicate that all nine pathways are concerted and exothermic and that the most reactive sites on the acenes are the center ring's meso-carbons. In addition, reactivity increases along the series benzene < naphthalene < anthrecene < tetracene < pentacene. This trend is identical to that of aromaticity for the five acenes. A correlation between reactivity and aromaticity is briefly rationalized with natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis. Furthermore, some experimental kinetics data from the literature supporting the calculated results are cited.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A novel approach for the stereocontrolled synthesis of eudesmanolides was developed based on a quasi-biomimetic strategy starting from a functionalized oxabicyclic template, as shown above, by which the first total syntheses of gallicadiol (6) and isogallicadiol (7) were achieved. The key elements of the synthesis include: (1) a facile and stereospecific synthesis of a functionalized epoxy aldehyde intermediate; (2) a mild Lewis acid-mediated stereoselective ene cyclization; and (3) a stereocontrolled gamma-lactonization.

Abstract
This paper describes a novel approach for the introduction of a C-1 hydroxyl on the decalin ring system, starting from (-)-carvone. Utilizing the substrate-controlled Mukaiyama aldol reaction and alkaline cyclization as key steps, the C-1 oxygenated decalin eudesmane skeleton 2' and its four isomers were synthesized efficiently. Furthermore, X-ray structural analysis showed that the claimed structure for the natural product is incorrect.
