Abstract
Plakortides make up a subclass of marine endoperoxides with diverse biological activities. Their structural particularity is derived from the C4 and C6 positions of the endoperoxide, which are substituted by ethyl groups. The ethyl plakortide Z has the simplest side chain among its congeners and is an excellent target for testing a universal strategy for the synthesis of this subfamily. Accordingly, we have synthesized for the first time a six-membered pla-kortide using asymmetric Enders alkylation, regioselective cyclobutanol oxidative expansion, and peroxycarbenium ion-mediated diastereoselective C-C bond formation as key steps. Preparative HPLC separation of the various diastereomers yielded a pure sample of synthetic ethyl plakortide Z, constituting the first total synthesis. Despite the lack of selectivity inherent in the synthesis of peroxide linkages involving radical reactions, the diastereomer separation step was offset by an efficient synthesis in just 11 steps and 4.2% overall yield.

Abstract
In this study, we devised a new method to predict facial selectivity by quantifying steric and orbital factors for the nucleophile approaching both π-plane faces. Using this method, we quantified the total electron density and frontier orbital distributions of 163 cyclic ketones with various structures and quantitatively explained the surface selectivity of 323 reactions with eight nucleophiles (BH3, LiAlH4, NaBH4, LiAl(OMe)3H, MeLi, MeMgI, PhLi, and PnMgI). Importance analysis showed a large orbital effect for BH3, LiAlH4, and NaBH4 and the dominance of the steric effect for LiAl(OMe)3H, MeLi, MeMgI, PhLi, and PhMgI. Our method analyzes three-dimensional features based on Gaussian cube files, which can be easily obtained using mainstream computational chemistry software packages, and this approach should prove useful for predicting the rates and facial selectivity of other reactions.

Abstract
The concise synthesis of a small library of fluorinated piperidines from readily available dihydropyridinone derivatives has been described. The effect of the fluorination on different positions has then been evaluated by chemoinformatic tools. In particular, the compounds' pKa's have been calculated, revealing that the fluorine atoms notably lowered their basicity, which is correlated to the affinity for hERG channels resulting in cardiac toxicity. The "lead-likeness" and three-dimensionality have also been evaluated to assess their ability as useful fragments for drug design. A random screening on a panel of representative proteolytic enzymes was then carried out and revealed that one scaffold is recognized by the catalytic pocket of 3CLPro (main protease of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus).

Abstract
An electrophile-induced semipinacol rearrangement of cyclopropenylcarbinols is reported. This transformation gives access to various polyfunctionalized cyclopropanes under mild metal-free conditions. The scope of the reaction includes iodine, sulfur and selenium electrophiles, aryl and strained ring migrating groups, and diverse substitution patterns on the cyclopropene. The reaction is particularly efficient for the synthesis of small ring-containing spirocycles, which are important rigid three-dimensional building blocks for medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Mycaperoxides are natural endoperoxides isolated from different Mycale genus sponges, showing significant antiviral or antibacterial activities. We report herein the first total syntheses of representative congeners of this family from sclareol using a stereodivergent approach. Thus, an innovative oxidative ring expansion of cyclobutanol was used to bring the 1,2-dioxane subunit, and a Mukaiyama aldol reaction on peroxycarbenium species was utilized to install the propionic acid subunit. During the study toward (+)-mycaperoxide D methyl ester (2), the isolation of the eight possible diastereomers under their ethyl thioester form allowed to build a pertinent database for further NMR assignment studies. Thus, we completed the total syntheses of (+)-mycaperoxides D, C, G methyl ester, and (-)-mycaperoxide B in 11 to 15 steps, confirming their original assignment.

Abstract
The identification of the beneficial pharmacokinetic properties of aza-spirocycles has led to the routine incorporation of these highly rigid and three-dimensional structures in pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report an operationally simple synthesis of spirocyclic dihydropyridines via an electrophile-induced dearomative semi-pinacol rearrangement of 4-(1'-hydroxycyclobutyl)pyridines. The various points for diversification of the spirocyclization precursors, as well as the synthetic utility of the amine and ketone functionalities in the products, provide the potential to rapidly assemble medicinally relevant spirocycles.

Abstract
The medicinal plant Artabotrys hexapetalus (synonyms: A.uncinatus and A. odoratissimus) is known as yingzhao in Chinese. Extracts of the plant have long been used in Asian folk medicine to treat various symptoms and diseases, including fevers, microbial infections, ulcers, hepatic disorders and other health problems. In particular, extracts from the roots and fruits of the plant are used for treating malaria. Numerous bioactive natural products have been isolated from the plant, mainly aporphine (artabonatines, artacinatine) and benzylisoquinoline (hexapetalines) alkaloids, terpenoids (artaboterpenoids), flavonoids (artabotrysides), butanolides (uncinine, artapetalins) and a small series of endoperoxides known as yingzhaosu A-to-D. These natural products confer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties to the plant extracts. The lead compound yingzhaosu A displays marked activities against the malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum and P. berghei. Total syntheses have been developed to access yingzhaosu compounds and analogues, such as the potent compound C14-epi-yingzhaosu A and simpler molecules with a dioxane unit. The mechanism of action of yingzhaosu A points to an iron(II)-induced degradation leading to the formation of two alkylating species, an unsaturated ketone and a cyclohexyl radical, which can then react with vital parasitic proteins. A bioreductive activation of yingzhaosu A endoperoxide can also occur with the heme iron complex. The mechanism of action of yingzhaosu endoperoxides is discussed, to promote further chemical and pharmacological studies of these neglected, but highly interesting bioactive compounds. Yingzhaosu A/C represent useful templates for designing novel antimalarial drugs.

Abstract
Cobalt-catalyzed cascade C-N and C-O bond formation of epoxides with hydrazones is described to furnish oxadiazines using air as an oxidant. The catalyst plays a dual role as a Lewis acid followed by a redox catalyst to accomplish the C-H/O-H cyclization. Optically active styrene oxide can be reacted enantiospecifically (>99% ee).

Abstract
AbstractCyclobutanols undergo ring expansion with molecular oxygen in the presence of Co(acac)2 to afford 1,2-dioxane-hemiperoxyketals. In the course of acylation, we observed that endoperoxides rearranged into γ-lactone in the presence of triethylamine. Thus, a generalization of this ring contraction through a Kornblum–DeLaMare rearrangement is here reported. Application of this transformation to monosubstituted 1,2-dioxane derivatives also led to 1,4-ketoaldehydes, in proportions depending on the nature of the substituent. These same conditions applied to five-membered dioxolane analogues led to fragmentation instead, through a retro-aldol type process. This study emphasizes the difference of stability of 1,2-dioxane and 1,2-dioxolane against organic bases, 1,2-dioxolanes having proved to be particularly reactive whereas 1,2-dioxanes showed a relative tolerance under these conditions.

Abstract
Treatment of aryl-fused bicyclo[4.2.0]octanols with an oxidant such as phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA) or hypochlorous acid gave dihydrofuran-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds by selective β-cleavage of the cyclobutanol moiety. Mechanistic studies suggest that the oxygen atom of the hydrofuran ring is incorporated from the hydroxy group of the substrate via intramolecular addition. The oxidative transformation should serve as a new method to prepare functionalized polycyclic aromatic compounds.

Abstract
A new and general Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reaction of 3-(2-methoxyethoxy)-endoperoxy ketals with silyl ketene acetals, silyl enol ethers, allyltrimethylsilane, and trimethylsilyl cyanide has been developed via the reactive peroxycarbenium ions, affording a wide range of complicated 3,3,6,6-tetrasubstituted 1,2-dioxenes bearing adjacent quaternary carbons and 3-acetyl/allyl/cyano functional groups in good yields at room temperature. Notably, the resultant 1,2-dioxenes are structurally stable, which can be facially transformed into another important 1,2-dioxane endoperoxide under conventional hydrogenation conditions without deconstructing the weak O-O bond.
