Abstract
Pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids are a large class of natural products that display a wide range of biological activities. Synthetic approaches to these natural products typically rely on a common late-stage C10-oxygenated pyrroloiminoquinone intermediate, but these strategies often lead to lengthy synthetic sequences that are not amenable to divergent syntheses. We devised an alternative approach aimed at the early introduction of the C10 nitrogen, which we hypothesized would enable late-stage diversification. This strategy hinged upon a Larock/Buchwald-Hartwig annulation/cyclization to quickly access the core of these alkaloids. We report the development of this cascade process, which was facilitated by a dual ligand system in addition to selective functionalization of the key intermediate, to provide efficient syntheses of makaluvamines A, C, and D and isobatzelline B, and the first total synthesis of makaluvamine N.

Abstract
The discorhabdin natural products are a large subset of pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids with a myriad of biological activities. Despite garnering much synthetic attention, few members have thus far been completed, particularly those featuring a bridging carbon-nitrogen bond that is found in numerous discorhabdins, including discorhabdin V. Herein we report the first total synthesis and full stereochemical assignment of (+)-discorhabdin V. To access the pyrroloiminoquinone we developed a convergent N-alkylation/oxidative aminocyclization/bromination cascade that joins two key components, which are both made on multigram scale. An intramolecular Heck reaction then forms the quaternary carbon center in an intermediate containing the carbon-nitrogen bridge, and a reductive N,O-acetal cyclization sequence introduces the final piperidine ring. Furthermore, we have established the relative configuration of (+)-discorhabdin V through experimental NOESY data and DP4 NMR probability calculations. The absolute configuration of the natural product has also been determined by circular dichroism and the use of an amino acid derived chiral starting material. Our work represents one of only two reports of a total synthesis of a nitrogen-bridged discorhabdin and paves the way for future biological evaluation of such compounds.

Abstract
This study achieved the total syntheses of (+)-discorhabdin B, (-)-discorhabdin H, (+)-discorhabdin K, and (-)-aleutianamine. A phenethylamine fragment bearing a o-pivaloylthio group, corresponding to the D/E/G ring moiety, was prepared from benzothiophen-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester and condensed with a known pyrroloiminoquinone derivative. The adduct was subjected to [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA)-promoted oxidative spirocyclization to furnish the A/B/C/D/E spirocyclohexadienone fused with pyrroloiminoquinone. The total synthesis of (±)-discorhabdin B was completed via the key construction of the highly strained G ring with the N,S-acetal moiety featuring a newly developed CuBr2-mediated oxidative cascade cyclization. The stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-discorhabdin B was accomplished by a diastereoselective PIFA-promoted oxidative spirocyclization using a chiral thioester. (-)-Disocrhabdin H and (+)-discorhabdin K were synthesized by the site- and face-selective thia-Michael addition of l-ovothiol A to (+)-N-Ts-discorhabdin B with the concomitant formation of the F ring by forming the C2-N18 bond. The total synthesis of (-)-aleutianamine was achieved via a skeletal rearrangement initiated by the Luche reduction of the dienone moiety of (+)-N-Ts-discorhabdin B.

Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
The Mitsunobu reaction plays a vital part in organic chemistry due to its wide synthetic applications. It is considered as a significant reaction for the interconversion of one functional group (alcohol) to another (ester) in the presence of oxidizing agents (azodicarboxylates) and reducing agents (phosphines). It is a renowned stereoselective reaction which inverts the stereochemical configuration of end products. One of the most important applications of the Mitsunobu reaction is its role in the synthesis of natural products. This review article will focus on the contribution of the Mitsunobu reaction towards the total synthesis of natural products, highlighting their biological potential during recent years.

Abstract
A metal-free divergent synthesis of indole compounds dependent on a reagent via intramolecular C(sp2)-H amination was described. The reaction of 2-vinylanilines with DMSO/SOCl2 at 70 °C was found to give 2-thiomethylindoles, while replacing DMSO with diethyl sulfoxide afforded 2-unsubstituted indoles in a highly selective manner.

Abstract
Among my recent work on the syntheses of complex natural products based on the development of a novel synthetic method for the heteroaromatic skeleton, this article primarily deals with the total syntheses of (+)-CC-1065, isobatzeline A/B, and batzeline A. These syntheses were accomplished via a novel indole synthesis utilizing a ring expansion reaction of benzocyclobutenone oxime sulfonate as the key step. The 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole segments of (+)-CC-1065 were rapidly constructed via a two-directional double-ring expansion strategy. Highly substituted pyrrolidine-fused common 5-chloro-2-methylthioindoles of isobatzeline A/B and batzeline A were constructed using a ring expansion reaction of benzocyclobutenone oxime sulfonate with NaSMe and a benzyne-mediated cyclization/functionalization reaction.

Abstract
This account summarizes the development of a benzyne-mediated cyclization/functionalization protocol for the versatile construction of highly substituted benzene derivatives fused with an N-heterocyclic ring such as indolines, indoles, and related nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The protocol comprises sequential reactions initiated by generating a benzyne species and subsequent cyclization via addition of magnesium amide to the benzyne, followed by trapping of the resultant magnesium compound in situ with various electrophiles. The substituent scope was expanded by conducting a transmetalation on a copper species to introduce alkyl, aryl, and alkenyl substituents. The utility of the sequential reaction was demonstrated in the synthesis of a carbazole natural product (heptaphylline), pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinoline alkaloids (batzellines), and pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazole alkaloids (dictyodendrines).
