Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The identification of a functional cinnamoyl-CoA reductase enzyme from Cinnamomum cassia involved in trans-cinnamaldehyde biosynthesis offers the potential for enhancing trans-cinnamaldehyde production through genetic engineering. A significant accumulation of trans-cinnamaldehyde has been found in the bark tissues of C. cassia, used in traditional Chinese medicine. trans-Cinnamaldehyde exhibits various pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and protection of the stomach and the digestive tract. However, further elucidation and characterization of the biosynthetic pathway for trans-cinnamaldehyde is required. In this study, we conducted an integrated analysis of trans-cinnamaldehyde accumulation profiles and transcriptomic data from five different C. cassia tissues to identify the genes involved in its biosynthesis. The transcriptome data we obtained included nearly all genes associated with the trans-cinnamaldehyde pathway, with the majority demonstrating high abundance in branch barks and trunk barks. We successfully cloned four C. cassia cinnamoyl-CoA reductases (CcCCRs), a key gene in trans-cinnamaldehyde biosynthesis. We found that the recombinant CcCCR1 protein was the only one that more efficiently converted cinnamoyl-CoA into trans-cinnamaldehyde. CcCCR1 exhibited approximately 14.7-fold higher catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) compared to the Arabidopsis thaliana cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1 (AtCCR1); therefore, it can be utilized for engineering higher trans-cinnamaldehyde production as previously reported. Molecular docking studies and mutagenesis experiments also validated the superior catalytic activity of CcCCR1 compared to AtCCR1. These findings provide valuable insights for the functional characterization of enzyme-coding genes and hold potential for future engineering of trans-cinnamaldehyde biosynthetic pathways.

Abstract
Highly substituted trans-hydrindanes were synthesized by the three-component coupling reactions of 1,3-diethyl 2-(2-oxopropylidene)propanedioate and two different α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether. The reaction proceeds via two successive independent catalytic domino reactions in a one-pot reaction by a single chiral catalyst. Domino reactions involve Michael/Michael and Michael/aldol reactions to afford trans-hydrindanes with excellent diastereoselectivity and nearly optically pure form.

Abstract
Cinnamaldehyde (CA) showed potent activity against melanoma in our previous study, and the structure of unsaturated aldehydes is envisaged to play a role. Nevertheless, its limited drug availability restricts its clinical application. Therefore, a series of CA analogues were synthesized to evaluate their anti-melanoma activities across various melanoma cell lines. These compounds were also tested for their toxicity against the different normal cell lines. The compound with the most potential, CAD-14, exhibited potent activity against the A375, A875 and SK-MEL-1 cells, with IC50 values of 0.58, 0.65, and 0.82 µM, respectively. A preliminary molecular mechanism study of CAD-14 indicated that it could inhibit the p38 pathway to induce apoptosis, and suppress tumor growth by inhibiting the expression of ENO1. Furthermore, an acute toxicity study depicted that CAD-14 has better safety and tolerability than CA in vivo. These findings indicate that CAD-14 might be a lead compound for exploring effective anti-melanoma drugs.

Abstract
The enantioselective total synthesis of latanoprost, an antiglaucoma agent, has been accomplished with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities in a pot-economical manner using six reaction vessels. An enantioselective Krische allylation was conducted in the first pot. In the second pot, olefin metathesis, silyl protection, and hydrogenolysis proceeded efficiently. In the third pot, an organocatalyst-mediated Michael reaction proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity. The fourth pot involved a substrate-controlled Mukaiyama intramolecular aldol reaction and elimination of HNO2 to afford a methylenecyclopentanone, also with excellent diastereoselectivity. The fifth pot involved a Michael reaction of vinyl cuprate. In the sixth pot, three reactions, a cis-selective olefin metathesis, diastereoselective reduction, and deprotection, afforded latanoprost. Nearly optically pure latanoprost was obtained, and the total yield was 24%.

Abstract
We communicate a versatile synthetic approach to C-3 disubstituted 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes as carbon-atom bridged morpholines, starting with 4R-hydroxy-l-proline as a chiron. Attaching an acetic acid moiety on the C-3 carbon of the 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane core reveals the framework of an embedded γ-amino butyric acid (GABA). Variations in the nature of the substituent on the tertiary C-3 atom with different alkyls or aryls led to backbone-constrained analogues of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs baclofen and pregabalin.

Abstract
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) represents one of the most prolific structural units widely used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. For example, β-substituted GABA derivatives are found in numerous neurological drugs, such as baclofen, phenibut, tolibut, pregabalin, phenylpiracetam, brivaracetam, and rolipram, to mention just a few. In this review, we critically discuss the literature data reported on the preparation of substituted GABA derivatives using the Michael addition reaction as a key synthetic transformation. Special attention is paid to asymmetric methods featuring synthetically useful stereochemical outcomes and operational simplicity.

Abstract
The principles of green chemistry (GC) can be comprehensively implemented in green synthesis of pharmaceuticals by choosing no solvents or green solvents (preferably water), alternative reaction media, and consideration of one-pot synthesis, multicomponent reactions (MCRs), continuous processing, and process intensification approaches for atom economy and final waste reduction. The GC's execution in green synthesis can be performed using a holistic design of the active pharmaceutical ingredient's (API) life cycle, minimizing hazards and pollution, and capitalizing the resource efficiency in the synthesis technique. Thus, the presented review accounts for the comprehensive exploration of GC's principles and metrics, an appropriate implication of those ideas in each step of the reaction schemes, from raw material to an intermediate to the final product's synthesis, and the final execution of the synthesis into scalable industry-based production. For real-life examples, we have discussed the synthesis of a series of established generic pharmaceuticals, starting with the raw materials, and the intermediates of the corresponding pharmaceuticals. Researchers and industries have thoughtfully instigated a green synthesis process to control the atom economy and waste reduction to protect the environment. We have extensively discussed significant reactions relevant for green synthesis, one-pot cascade synthesis, MCRs, continuous processing, and process intensification, which may contribute to the future of green and sustainable synthesis of APIs.

Abstract
We would all like to make or obtain the materials or products we want as soon as possible. This is human nature. This is true also for chemists in the synthesis of organic molecules. All chemists would like to make their target molecules as soon as possible, particularly when their interest is in the physical or biological properties of those molecules.As demonstrated by today's COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, rapid synthesis is also crucial to enable chemists to deliver effective therapeutic agents to the community. Several concepts are currently well-accepted as important for achieving this: atom economy, step economy, and redox economy. Considering the importance of synthesizing organic molecules rapidly, I recently proposed adding the concept of time economy.In a multisep synthesis, each step has to be completed within a short period of time to make the desired molecule rapidly. The development of rapid reactions is important but also insufficient. After each step, frequent and repetitive workup operations such as quenching the reaction, extraction, separation of water and organic phases, drying the organic phase, filtration, evaporation, and purification may be required, and the time necessary for these processing operations must be taken into account. Indeed, some of the most time-consuming operations in most syntheses are the purification stages.On the other hand, one-pot reactions are processes in which several sequential reactions are conducted in a single reaction vessel, which avoids the need to purify intermediates. One-pot reactions are a useful way to shorten the total synthesis time, and the approach generally leads to an increase in the yield and a reduction in the amount of chemical waste formed. Thus, I also propose the importance of pot economy.On the basis of these concepts of time and pot economy, we have accomplished efficient syntheses of several natural products and medicines. The key to the success of these syntheses is the use of diphenylprolinol silyl ether as an effective catalyst in a one-pot reaction, in which it does not disturb the subsequent reactions. Our strategy is (1) to construct the chiral key skeletons and/or key components of natural products and medicines directly using organocatalyst-mediated one-pot reactions and (2) to conduct the subsequent transformations to the final molecules in a small number of pots utilizing the internal quench method. By means of this strategy, PGE1 methyl ester, estradiol methyl ether, and clinprost were synthesized in three, five, and seven pots, respectively. Furthermore, (-)-oseltamivir, ABT-341, baclofen, and Corey lactone were synthesized in a single reaction vessel. Further optimization of the reactions in terms of time economy allowed (-)-oseltamivir and Corey lactone to be synthesized within 60 and 152 min, respectively. These syntheses will be highlighted as case studies. Although the organocatalyst is a key compound in this Account, pot- and time-economical syntheses can be expanded to organometallic chemistry and, indeed, to organic chemistry in general.

Abstract
The pot-economical synthesis of clinprost is reported, in which the core bicyclo[3.3.0]octenone structure was synthesized by two key steps: an asymmetric domino Michael/Michael reaction catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether and an intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. The trisubstituted endocyclic alkene was selectively introduced by 1,4-reduction followed by trapping of the generated enolate with Tf2NPh and subsequent utilization of the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Chiral, nonracemic clinprost was synthesized in seven pots with a 17% total yield and excellent enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The two-step flow asymmetric synthesis of chiral γ-nitrobutyric acids as key intermediates of the GABA analogues baclofen, phenibut, and fluorophenibut is reported on a multigram scale. The telescoped process comprises an enantioselective Michael-type addition facilitated by a polystyrene-supported heterogeneous organocatalyst under neat conditions followed by in situ-generated performic acid-mediated aldehyde oxidation. Simple access to valuable optically active substances is provided with key advances in terms of productivity and sustainability compared to those of previous batch approaches.

Abstract
The Corey lactone is a highly versatile intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of prostaglandin hormones that natively control a multitude of important physiological processes. Starting from commercially available compounds, we herein disclose a time-economical, one-pot enantioselective preparation of the Corey lactone by virtue of a new diphenylprolinol silyl ether-mediated domino Michael/Michael reaction to afford the substituted cyclopentanone core in a formal (3 + 2) cycloadditive fashion. More broadly, this work advances the on-demand, gram-scale synthesis of high-value targets involving chemically orthogonal transformations, whereby distinct reactions of acids, bases, organometalics, reductants and oxidants can be carried out in a single reaction vessel in a sequential fashion.

Abstract
An efficient and one-pot method has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of pentacyclic indole derivatives with the yohimbane skeleton via a sequence of asymmetric Michael-Michael-Mannich-reduction-amidation-Bischler-Napieralski-reduction reactions with a high diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The seven-step reaction sequence, which generates five bonds and five stereocenters, can be conducted with a pot-economic synthetic strategy and one-pot operation in good yields. The structure and absolute stereochemistry of two products were confirmed by X-ray crystallography analysis.

Abstract
A novel domino reaction of (2-iminoaryl)divinyl ketones with nitromethane was developed for the efficient synthesis of hexahydrophenanthridin-9(5H)-ones. The reaction proceeded smoothly from readily available starting materials under mild reaction conditions to construct three new bonds and two rings with high diastereoselectivities in good to excellent yields in a single step. A mechanism is proposed, involving a stepwise double Michael addition/aza-Henry reaction cascade, and in this transformation, nitromethane acts as a trinucleophile.

Abstract
Enantioselective total synthesis of estradiol methyl ether has been accomplished in a pot-economical manner using five reaction vessels and four purifications. The key reaction is a diphenylprolinol silyl ether mediated domino Michael/aldol reaction to afford bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane derivatives, containing the A, C, and D rings of steroids, as a single isomer with excellent enantioselectivity. Six reactions such as oxidation, hydrogenation, formation of acid chloride, Friedel-Crafts reaction, deprotection, and reduction can be carried out in the last one-pot sequence.

Abstract
The asymmetric organocatalyzed diversity-oriented one-pot synthesis has been developed to construct chroman-2-one derivatives and other heterocyclic compounds with excellent efficiency and stereoselectivity. The reactions represent a challenging issue, since it altered the inherent selectivity profiles exhibited by the substrates of 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde 1 and trans-β-nitrostyrene 2, which was previously reported as the asymmetric oxa-Michael-Michael cascade to generate chiral chromans. It should be noted that polycyclic O,O-acetal-containing compounds, which are found in numerous natural products and biologically interesting molecules, could also be achieved in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity as a single diastereoisomer with five continuous stereogenic centers.

Abstract
(−)-Ambrox is recognised as the prototype of all ambergris odorants. Widely used in perfumery, (−)-Ambrox is an important ingredient due to its unique scent and excellent fixative function. An environmentally friendly and practical preparation of (−)-Ambrox is still unavailable at present although a lot of attention has been paid to this hot research topic for many years. A one-pot synthesis of (−)-Ambrox was studied starting from (−)-sclareol through oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a quaternary ammonium phosphomolybdate catalyst {[C5H5NC16H33] [H2PMo12O40]}, which gave the product a 20% overall yield.

Abstract
A series of one-pot, sequential protocols was developed for the synthesis of novel macrocycles bearing α,β-unsaturated chemotypes. The method highlights a phosphate tether-mediated approach to establish asymmetry, and consecutive one-pot, sequential processes to access the macrocycles with minimal purification procedures. This library amenable strategy provided diverse macrocycles containing α,β-unsaturated carbon-, sulfur-, or phosphorus-based warheads.

Abstract
A pot-economical total synthesis of antifungal Sch-725674, 1, is reported. The approach takes advantage of a number of one-pot, sequential transformations, including a phosphate tether-mediated one-pot, sequential RCM/CM/chemoselective hydrogenation protocol, a one-pot tosylation/acrylation sequence, and a one-pot, sequential Finkelstein reaction/Boord olefination/acetonide deprotection procedure to streamline the synthesis route by reducing isolation and purification procedures, thus saving time. Overall, an asymmetric route has been developed that is efficiently accomplished in seven pots from phosphate (S,S)-triene and with minimal purification.
