Abstract
Herein we disclose a highly efficient enantioselective para-C-H alkylation of aniline derivatives promoted by a base/Co/indeno-pybox ligand system. This methodology leads to the efficient construction of a series of enantioenriched aniline derivatives bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. In addition, several special biologically or medicinally active indoles are facilely synthesized by our Co-catalyzed asymmetry synthesis method. Density functional theory calculations and experiment results suggest that the (acac)- anion of Co(acac)2 plays a very important role in chiral control during the nucleophilic reaction.

Abstract
The ligand-free Co-catalyzed chemoselective reductive cyclization cascade of enone-tethered aldehydes with i-PrOH as the environmentally benign hydrogen surrogate is developed by this study. Mechanistic studies disclosed that such a protocol is initiated by an ortho-enone-assisted Co(I)-catalyzed reduction of the aldehyde functionality with i-PrOH. Meanwhile, the selectivity from the Michael-Aldol cycloreduction cascade to the oxa-Michael cascade is feasible and readily adjusted by the addition of steric Lewis bases, such as TEMPO and DABCO, delivering substituted 1H-indenes and dihydroisobenzofurans, respectively.

Abstract
Cobalt-catalyzed Mukaiyama-type cyclization of γ-hydroxy olefins is known as an atom- and step-economical means for stereoselective synthesis of 2,5-trans-substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives. In this study, we investigated the synthesis of a series of 2,5-substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives by means of a cobalt-catalyzed Hartung-Mukaiyama cyclization. The stereochemical consequence of the reaction was found to be largely dependent on the substitution pattern and relative configuration of γ-hydroxy olefins. 2,5-cis-Substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives could be obtained diastereoselectively from appropriately substituted γ-hydroxy olefins. Additionally, relatively bulky olefin substituents and unprotected hydroxy groups at non-interfering positions (e.g., α and δ) were well tolerated in the reaction. Finally, the synthetic versatility of the Hartung-Mukaiyama cyclization was demonstrated through a stereocontrolled synthesis of the tetrahydrofuran moiety of amphidinolide N, a potent cytotoxic macrolide of marine origin. This study expands the capacity of Mukaiyama-type cyclization in that it can be used in convergent assembly of complex tetrahydrofuran motifs from internal olefins.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of 3-carbonyl-trisubstituted furans via Pd-catalyzed oxidative cycloisomerization reactions of 2-alkenyl-1,3-dicarbonyl scaffolds, using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant to regenerate active palladium catalytic species, featuring good functional tolerance and mild reaction conditions. Deep investigation of intermediates and transition states of the reaction mechanism were conducted via experimental and DFT studies, providing a detailed mechanistical profile. The new developed methodology presents a greener alternative to Wacker-type cycloisomerizations and avoids the use of stoichiometric amounts of oxidants and strong acid additives.

Abstract
Amphirionin-2 is a linear polyketide metabolite that exhibits potent and selective cytotoxic activity against certain human cancer cell lines. We disclose herein the first total synthesis of amphirionin-2 and determination of its absolute configuration. Our synthesis featured an extensive use of cobalt-catalyzed Mukaiyama-type cyclization of γ-hydroxy olefins for stereoselective formation of all the tetrahydrofuran rings found in the natural product, and a late-stage Stille-type coupling for convergent assembly of the entire carbon backbone. Four candidate diastereomers of amphirionin-2 were synthesized in a unified, convergent manner, and their spectroscopic/chromatographic properties were compared with those of the authentic material. The present study culminated in the reassignment of the C5/C7 relative configuration, assignment of the C12/C18 relative configuration, and determination of the absolute configuration of amphirionin-2. An extensive application of cobalt-catalyzed Mukaiyama-type cyclization of γ-hydroxy olefins and a late-stage Stille-type reaction enabled syntheses of four diastereomers of amphirionin-2 to establish its absolute configuration.![]()

Abstract
The marine macrolide chagosensine is supposedly distinguished by a (Z,Z)-configured 1,3-chlorodiene contained within a highly strained 16-membered lactone ring, which also incorporates two trans-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings; this array is unique. After our initial synthesis campaign had shown that the originally proposed structure is incorrect, the published data set was critically revisited to identify potential mis-assignments. The "northern" THF ring and the anti-configured diol in the "southern" sector both seemed to be sites of concern, thus making it plausible that a panel of eight diastereomeric chagosensine-like compounds would allow the puzzle to be solved. To meet the challenge, the preparation of the required building blocks was optimized, and a convergent strategy for their assembly was developed. A key role was played by the cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alken-5-ol derivatives ("Mukaiyama cyclization"), which is shown to be exquisitely chemoselective for terminal alkenes, leaving even terminal alkynes (and other sites of unsaturation) untouched. Likewise, a palladium-catalyzed alkyne alkoxycarbonylation reaction with formation of an α-methylene-γ-lactone proved instrumental, which had not found application in natural product synthesis before. Further enabling steps were a nickel-catalyzed "Tamaru-type" homocrotylation, stereodivergent aldehyde homologations, radical hydroindation, and palladium-catalyzed alkyne-1,2-bis-stannation. The different building blocks were assembled in a serial fashion to give the idiosyncratic chlorodienes by an unprecedented site-selective Stille coupling followed by copper-mediated tin/chlorine exchange. The macrolactones were closed under forcing Yamaguchi conditions, and the resulting products were elaborated into the targeted compound library. Yet, only one of the eight diastereomers turned out to be stable in the solvent mixture that had been used to analyze the natural product; all other isomers were prone to ring opening and/or ring expansion. In addition to this stability issue, our self-consistent data set suggests that chagosensine has almost certainly little to do with the structure originally proposed by the isolation team.

Abstract
We report that 3,3-dicyano-1,5-dienes bearing tert-butyl carbonates can be thermally converted to 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans. The transformation relies on two thermally reactive functional groups, a 1,5-diene and a tert-butyl carbonate, that react cooperatively to yield the furan scaffolds by thermal Cope rearrangement, Boc deprotection, and oxy-Michael addition. Described herein is background related to the discovery, optimization, and scope of the key transformation and representative functional group interconversion chemistry for the tetrahydrofuran scaffolds.
