Abstract
Epoxides are oxygen containing heterocycles which are significantly employed as crucial intermediates in various organic transformations. They are considered highly reactive three-membered heterocycles due to ring strain and they undergo epoxide ring opening reactions with diverse range of nucleophiles. Epoxide ring-opening reactions have gained prominence as flexible and effective means to obtain various functionalized molecules. These reactions have garnered substantial attention in organic synthesis, driven by the need to comprehend the synthesis of biologically and structurally important organic compounds. They have also found applications in the synthesis of complex natural products. In this review article, we have summarized the implementation of epoxide ring opening reactions in the synthesis of alkaloids and terpenoids based natural products reported within the last decade (2014-2023).

Abstract
Regioselective arene C-H bond alkylation is a powerful tool in synthetic chemistry, yet subject to many challenges. Herein, we report the meta-C-H bond alkylation of aromatics bearing N-directing groups using (hetero)aromatic epoxides as alkylating agents. This method results in complete regioselectivity on both the arene as well as the epoxide coupling partners, cleaving exclusively the benzylic C-O bond. Oxetanes, which are normally unreactive, also participate as alkylating reagents under the reaction conditions. Our mechanistic studies reveal an unexpected reversible epoxide ring opening process undergoing catalyst-controlled regioselection, as key for the observed high regioselectivities.

Abstract
Isoquinoline-enrooted organic small-molecules represent a challenging molecular target in the organic synthesis arsenal attributed to their structural diversity and therapeutic importance. Into the bargain, isoquinolines are significant structural frameworks in modern medicinal chemistry and drug development. Consequently, synthetic organic and medicinal chemists have been intensely interested in efficient synthetic tactics for the sustainable construction of isoquinoline frameworks and their derivatives in enantiopure or racemic forms. This review accentuates an overview of the literature on the modern synthetic approaches exploited in synthesising isoquinolines and their core embedded heterocyclic skeletons from 2021 to 2022. In detail, the methodologies and inspected pharmacological studies for the array of diversely functionalized isoquinolines or their core-embedded heterocyclic/carbocyclic structures involving the introduction of substituents at C-1, C-3, and C-4 carbon and N-2 atom, bond constructions at the C1-N2 atom and C3-N2 atom, and structural scaffolding within isoquinoline compounds have been reviewed. This intensive study highlights the need for and relevance of relatively unexplored bioisosterism employing isoquinoline-based small-molecules in drug design.

Abstract
The mechanism of Ru-catalyzed cyclization of aromatic amides with allylphosphine oxides is studied by density functional theory calculation (DFT). The results show that, first, a 5-membered Ru ring intermediate is formed by N-H and C-H diprotons via the concerted metalation-deprotonation mechanism (CMD) and then the allylphosphine oxide is inserted through the ring-extending reaction to form a 7-membered ring intermediate. Next, reduction elimination is followed via intramolecular hydrogen transfer isomerization. At last, with the assistance of acetic acid, Ru (II) → Ru (IV) → Ru (II) complexes occur from the 7-membered Ru ring intermediate, and the final product is formed by reduction elimination and protonation reaction, while the catalyst is released to participate in the next cycle.

Abstract
A general protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of artificial amino acids (AAs) comprising an isoquinolone skeleton was successfully elaborated via a straightforward Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of various aryl hydroxamates with a series of robust chiral propargylglycine Ni(II) complexes derived from glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala) and phenylalanine (Phe) in a green solvent (methanol) under mild conditions (at room temperature under air). Notably, in the case of phenylalanine-derived complexes, the formation of unfavorable 4-substituted isoquinolone regioisomers was achieved by a catalyst control for the first time. The subsequent acidic decomposition of the obtained Ni(II) complexes provides the target unnatural α- and α,α-disubstituted AAs with an isoquinolone core in an enantiopure form.

Abstract
Engaging allenes in transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation strategy is immensely promising to access high-value scaffolds. However, such a reaction manifold remains largely elusive using cheap and sustainable ruthenium catalysis. We disclose an unprecedented ruthenium-catalyzed (4 + 2) annulation between aromatic amides and allenylphosphine oxides, furnishing NH-free isoquinolinones in high yields. This operationally simple methodology leverages weak coordination assistance, displays high selectivity, and is amenable to the late-stage functionalization of several biologically relevant motifs.

Abstract
AbstractOver the past years, Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative couplings have enabled the construction of molecular scaffolds with high structural diversity via C–C, C–N and C–O bond-forming reactions. In contrast to the use of stoichiometric amounts of more common oxidants, such as metal salts (Cu and Ag) and benzoquinone derivatives, the use of molecular oxygen for the direct or indirect regeneration of Pd(II) species presents itself as a more viable alternative in terms of economy and sustainability. In this review, we describe recent advances on the development of Pd-catalyzed oxidative cyclizations/functionalizations, where molecular oxygen plays a pivotal role as the sole stoichiometric oxidant.1 Introduction2 Oxidative C–C and C–Nu Coupling2.1 Intramolecular Oxidative C–Nu Heterocyclization Reactions2.1.1 C–H Activation2.1.2 Wacker/Aza-Wacker-Type Cyclization2.1.3 Tandem Wacker/Aza-Wacker and Cyclization/Cross-Coupling Reactions2.2 Intermolecular Oxidative C–Nu Heterocoupling Reactions2.3 Intramolecular Oxidative (C–C) Carbocyclization Reactions2.4 Intermolecular Oxidative C–C Coupling Reactions2.4.1 Cyclization Reactions2.4.2 Cross-Coupling Reactions2.4.3 Homo-Coupling Reactions3 Aerobic Dehydrogenative Coupling/Functionalization4 Oxidative C–H Functionalization5 Summary

Abstract
An intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition of activated aziridines and epoxides with electron-deficient alkene has been developed for the general and efficient construction of bridged aza- and oxa-[n.2.1] (n = 3 or 4) skeletons. This strategy can be efficiently promoted by lithium iodide. To demonstrate its potential, the intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition was used to access the important intermediate of homoepiboxidine.

Abstract
N-Heterocycles can be found in natural products and drug molecules and are indispensable components in the area of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and materials science. The construction of these N-containing heterocycles by traditional methods usually requires the preparation of reactive intermediates. In the past decades, with the rapid growth of transition metal catalysed coupling reactions, syntheses of heterocycles from precursors with inert chemical bonds have become a challenge. More recently, in the field of transition metal associated C-H direct functionalization, efficient methods have been developed for the syntheses of N-heterocyclic compounds such as aziridines, azetidines, indoles and quinolines under the click type of reaction mode. In this review, representative synthetic methodologies developed in the recent 10 years for the preparation of this small class of N-heterocycles via the Pd-catalysed C-H activation and C-N bond formation pathway are discussed. We hope this article will provide new insights from the strategies highlighted into future molecular design, synthesis and applications in medical and materials sciences.

Abstract
Natural products have made a crucial and unique contribution to human health, and this is especially true in the case of malaria, where the natural products quinine and artemisinin and their derivatives and analogues, have saved millions of lives. The need for new drugs to treat malaria is still urgent, since the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has become resistant to quinine and most of its derivatives and is becoming resistant to artemisinin and its derivatives. This volume begins with a short history of malaria and follows this with a summary of its biology. It then traces the fascinating history of the discovery of quinine for malaria treatment and then describes quinine's biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use, concluding with a discussion of synthetic antimalarial agents based on quinine's structure. The volume then covers the discovery of artemisinin and its development as the source of the most effective current antimalarial drug, including summaries of its synthesis and biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use and resistance. A short discussion of other clinically used antimalarial natural products leads to a detailed treatment of other natural products with significant antiplasmodial activity, classified by compound type. Although the search for new antimalarial natural products from Nature's combinatorial library is challenging, it is very likely to yield new antimalarial drugs. The chapter thus ends by identifying over ten natural products with development potential as clinical antimalarial agents.

Abstract
Enantioselective total syntheses of 12 amicoumacin-type natural products are accomplished with a palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H alkylation as the key step to furnish the 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin scaffold. The target chemicals are assembled in a convergent protocol by merging 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin derived amine part with categories of acid segments that are efficiently prepared by chemoselective catalytic oxidation of chiral 1,2-dihydroxyethylfuran-2(5H)-ones. Afterward, the cytotoxicity of amicoumacins on five cancer cell lines and one normal cell line is investigated.
