Abstract
Covering the period 1965-2024Total synthesis has been defined as the art and science of making the molecules of living Nature in the laboratory, and by extension, their analogues. At the extremes, specialised metabolites can be created by total chemical synthesis or by total biosynthesis. In this review we explore the advantages and disadvantages of these two approaches using quantitative methodology that combines measures of molecular complexity, molecular weight and fraction of sp3 centres for bioactive fungal metabolites. Total biosynthesis usually involves fewer chemical steps and those steps move more directly to the target than comparable total chemical synthesis. However, total biosynthesis currently lacks the flexibility of chemical synthesis and the ability to easily diversify synthetic routes.

Abstract
Herein, we described the novel synthetic strategy for the total synthesis of harvestmen natural product (4S,5S)‑4-hydroxy-γ-decalactone (minor) from an inexpensive precursor ((R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-carbaldehyde) with 31% overall yield. Hydroxy-γ-lactones represent a special class of harvestmen exocrine defense compounds. The present convergent synthesis utilizes classical reactions like the Barbier reaction, the Grignard reaction, and the employment of an olefin as a masked carboxylic acid functionality followed by lactone formation as key steps.

Abstract
The triethylamine-promoted cascade Henry reaction/elimination of HNO2/cyclization reaction of 2-oxoaldehydes with nitroalkanes bearing various remote functionalities is described. Both chiral and achiral nitroalkanes were applicable to this protocol, leading to a variety of oxacycles, such as chromenes, chromanes, cyclic hemiacetals, and polycyclic acetals. An unexpected regioselective photooxygenation occurred without sensitizer during derivatization to convert a derived diene product into a dioxetane by reaction with singlet oxygen, which provided chromen-2-one and benzaldehyde after fragmentation.

Abstract
A highly efficient asymmetric Michael addition of bulky glycine imine to α,β-unsaturated isoxazoles has been achieved by using 5 mol% of chiral cyclopropenimine as a chiral organo-superbase catalyst under mild conditions. Michael adducts were obtained in excellent yields (up to 97%) and stereoselectivities (up to>99 : 1 dr and 98% ee). A significant solvent effect was found in these chiral organosuperbase catalyzed asymmetric Michael reactions. Gram-scale preparation of Michael adducts and their transformations are realized to provide corresponding products without loss of stereoselectivities. The configurations of Michael adduct was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
