Abstract
The divergent synthesis of two indane polyketides of the indidene family, namely (±)-indidene A (11 steps, 1.7 %) and (+)-indidene C (13 steps, 1.3 %), is reported. The synthesis of the trans-configured common indane intermediate was enabled by palladium(0)-catalyzed methylene C(sp3 )-H arylation, which was performed in both racemic and enantioselective (e.r. 99 : 1) modes. Further elaboration of this common intermediate by nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling allowed the rapid installation of the aroyl moiety of (±)-indidene A. In parallel, the biphenyl system of (±)- and (+)-indidene C was constructed by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. These investigations led us to revise the structures of indidenes B and C.

Abstract
Alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization is a strategically attractive but tactically challenging approach to the synthesis of highly substituted benzene rings. Here, a bimolecular regioselective cyclotrimerization is applied to the total synthesis of the natural product coprinol and several related alcyopterosins from the illudalane family of sesquiterpenes. The synthesis of coprinol from dimedone was completed in six steps and a 57% overall yield. Alternative functional group manipulations lead to alcyopterosins A, B, and O and two additional congeners, all within six steps.

Abstract
A highly stereoselective (3 + 2) cycloaddition for the asymmetric synthesis of versatile cyclopentene compounds containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters was developed. The phosphine-catalyzed reactions of alkynoates with α-alkylated electron-deficient alkenes bearing Oppolzer's camphorsultam showed high to excellent diastereoselectivities and perfect regioselectivities. The usefulness of this reaction was demonstrated in the concise formal synthesis of (R)-(-)-puraquinonic acid.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of enantioenriched indane derivatives with quaternary stereocenters was developed via sequential enantioselective reduction and C-H functionalization. Good to excellent enantioselectivity could be achieved by either the CuH-catalyzed asymmetric reduction or the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) reduction of indanone derivatives. The subsequent diastereospecific and regioselective rhodium-catalyzed silylation of the methyl C-H bond led to indane derivatives with quaternary centers. This strategy was further applied in syntheses of (nor)illudalane and botryane sesquiterpenoids.

Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed domino reaction of 1,8,13-tribromo-9-methoxytriptycenes is reported. Under conventional Suzuki coupling conditions, the triptycenes underwent multiple transformations to give 1,9-bridged triptycenes. Based on mechanistic investigations, a single Pd catalyst functions as Pd0 , PdII and PdIV species to catalyze four distinct processes: (1) aryl to alkyl 1,5-Pd migration, (2) intramolecular arylation, (3) homocoupling of phenylboronic acid and (4) Suzuki coupling. DFT calculations revealed that 1,5-Pd migration likely proceeds via both concerted PdII and stepwise PdIV routes. Asymmetric synthesis of the chiral triptycenes, as well as optical resolution, and further transformation are also reported.

Abstract
The development of practical C-H/C-H coupling reactions remains a challenging yet appealing synthetic venture because it circumvents the need to prefunctionalize both coupling partners for the generation of C-C bonds. Herein we report a cyclative C(sp3)-H/C(sp2)-H coupling reaction of free aliphatic acids enabled by a cyclopentane-based mono-N-protected β-amino acid ligand. This reaction uses inexpensive sodium percarbonate (Na2CO3·1.5H2O2) as the sole oxidant and generates water as the only byproduct. A range of biologically important scaffolds, including tetralins, chromanes, and indanes, can be easily prepared by this protocol. Finally, the synthetic application of this methodology is demonstrated by the concise total synthesis of (±)-russujaponol F in a four-step sequence starting from readily available phenylacetic acid and pivalic acid through sequential functionalizations of four C-H bonds.

Abstract
This article provides a detailed report of our efforts to synthesize the dithiodiketopiperazine (DTP) natural products (-)-epicoccin G and (-)-rostratin A using a double C(sp3 )-H activation strategy. The strategy's viability was first established on a model system lacking the C8/C8' alcohols. Then, an efficient stereoselective route including an organocatalytic epoxidation was secured to access a key bis-triflate substrate. This bis-triflate served as the functional handles for the key transformation of the synthesis: a double C(sp3 )-H activation. The successful double activation opened access to a common intermediate for both natural products in high overall yield and on a multigram scale. After several unsuccessful attempts, this intermediate was efficiently converted to (-)-epicoccin G and to the more challenging (-)-rostratin A via suitable oxidation/reduction and protecting group sequences, and via a final sulfuration that occurred in good yield and high diastereoselectivity. These efforts culminated in the synthesis of (-)-epicoccin G and (-)-rostratin A in high overall yields (19.6 % over 14 steps and 12.7 % over 17 steps, respectively), with the latter being obtained on a 500 mg scale. Toxicity assessments of these natural products and several analogues (including the newly synthesized epicoccin K) in the leukemia cell line K562 confirmed the importance of the disulfide bridge for activity and identified dianhydrorostratin A as a 20x more potent analogue.

Abstract
The fungal metabolite illudinine is prepared in seven steps and ca. 55% overall yield from dimedone using an "open and shut" (ring-opening and ring-closing) strategy. Tandem ring-opening fragmentation and olefination of dimedone establishes alkyne and vinylarene functionality linked by a neopentylene tether. Oxidative cycloisomerization then provides the illudinine framework. The key innovation in this second-generation synthesis of illudinine is the use of the nitrile functional group, rather than an ester, as the functional precursor to the carboxylic acid of illudinine. The small, linear nitrile (C≡N) is associated with improved selectivity, π-conjugation, and reactivity at multiple points in the synthetic sequence relative to the carboxylic acid ester. Preliminary assays indicate that illudinine and several related synthetic analogues are monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which is the first reported indication of biological activity associated with this natural product. Illudinine was found to inhibit monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) with an IC50 of 18 ± 7.1 μM in preliminary assays.

Abstract
Cyclic α-quaternary carbon stereocenters were prepared from biselectrophillic substrates and an easily prepared chiral bicyclic sulfonyl lactam. This was achieved in two steps by spiroalkylation, employing biphasic reaction conditions with a phase-transfer catalyst, followed by reduction and alkylation with a series of alkyl halide electrophiles. The products of this method were isolated in good yields with with high levels of diastereoselectivity. This methodology was employed in the enantioselective total synthesis of (R)-puraquinonic acid (1) for a late-stage installation of the α-quaternary carbon stereocenter. This enabled the shortest synthesis of 1 to date, an eight-pot sequence providing an overall yield of 14%.

Abstract
Dithiodiketopiperazines are complex polycyclic natural products possessing a variety of interesting biological activities. Despite their interest, relatively few total syntheses have been completed. We herein report the enantioselective, scalable, and divergent total synthesis of two symmetrical pentacyclic dithiodiketopiperazines, (-)-epicoccin G and (-)-rostratin A. A common intermediate was synthesized on a multigram scale from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials using an enantioselective organocatalytic epoxidation and a double C(sp3)-H activation as key steps, with the latter allowing the efficient simultaneous construction of the two five-membered rings. In addition to the cis,cis-fused target (-)-epiccocin G, the more challenging (-)-rostratin A, possessing two trans ring junctions, was obtained for the first time on a 500 mg scale through the optimization of each step and validation on multigram quantities. Both natural products were synthesized with high overall yields (13-20%). This study should facilitate access to this fascinating and yet understudied family of biologically active natural products.
