Abstract
The structure-activity relationship of the unusual indolosesquiterpenoid mycoleptodiscin A is unknown due to natural scarcity and inefficient synthesis. A modular approach leveraging Larock indole synthesis has been established to access mycoleptodiscin A and a divergent collection of drimenyl indoles. It features the utilization of an inexpensive (+)-sclareolide, modularity, purification-economy, and scalability, which facilitates the first biological evaluation of mycoleptodiscin A and related precursors.

Abstract
The first synthesis of ustusal A as well as expeditious access to (-)-albrassitriol is described as featuring a singlet oxygen [4 + 2] cycloaddition, achieving the desired stereoselectivity for the 1,4-cis-hydroxyl groups. Transformation of (+)-sclareolide to III followed by a key Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction and stereospecific allylic oxidation facilitated the first synthesis of elegansin D. The biological evaluation of these natural products together with seven elegansin D analogues was performed, among which several elegansin D analogues exhibited potential anticancer activity against liver cancer HepG2 cells (IC50 = 11.99-25.58 μM) with low cytotoxicity on normal liver HL7702 cells (IC50 > 100 μM).

Abstract
The tetracyclic core structure of the majority of indole diterpenoids features a trans-hydrindane moiety that is fused to an indole unit. We report here a novel synthetic route that includes a photo-Nazarov cyclization of a 3-acylindole precursor initially providing the thermodynamically preferred cis-hydrindanone. After reduction and conversion to the cyclopentadiene, dihydroxylation and hydrogenation provided the indoline. The key step generated the trans-system by stereospecific hydride shift on a dioxaphospholane under Grainger's conditions, for the first time applied to an N-heterocycle. When starting from the corresponding indole, we observed the formation of hitherto unknown methanocyclohepta[b]indolones. Deoxygenation of the trans-hydrindanone was achieved after conversion to the 1,3-dithiolane, followed by RANEY® Ni reduction.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the advent of C-H activation has led to a rethink among chemists about the synthetic strategies employed for multi-step transformations. Indeed, deploying innovative and masterful tricks against the numerous classical organic transformations has been the need of the hour. Despite this, the immense importance of C-H activation remains unfulfilled unless the methodology can be deployed for large-scale industrial processes and towards the concise, step-economic synthesis of prodigious natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Lately, the growing potential of C-H activation methodology has indeed driven the pioneers of synthetic organic chemists into finding more efficient methods to accelerate the synthesis of such complex molecular scaffolds. This review aims to draw a general overview of the various C-H activation procedures that have been adopted for synthesizing these vast majority of structurally complicated natural products. Our objective lies in drawing a complete picture and taking the readers through the synthesis of a series of such complex organic compounds by simplified techniques, making it step-economic on a larger scale and thus instigating the readers to trigger the use of such methodology and uncover new, unique patterns for future synthesis of such natural products.

Abstract
A general and efficient method for the deconjugative α-alkylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes promoted by a synergistic effect between tBuOK and NaH, which considerably increases the reaction rate under mild conditions, is reported. The β,γ-unsaturated aldehyde, resulting from the α-alkylation, is transformed in high yield into the corresponding allyl acetate via a lead(IV) acetate-mediated oxidative fragmentation. This strategy could be used for the construction of the carbon skeleton of a wide variety of alkyl or arylterpenoids.

Abstract
(+)-(S) and (−)-(R)-5-methyl-Wieland-Miescher ketone (+)-1 and (−)-1, are important synthons in the diastereo and enantioselective syntheses of biological and/or pharmacological interesting compounds. A key step in these syntheses is the chemoselective C(1)O acetalization to (+)-5 and (−)-5, respectively. Various procedures for this transformation have been described in the literature. Among them, the classical procedure based on the use of 1,2-ethanediol and TsOH in refluxing benzene in the presence of a Dean-Stark apparatus. Within our work on bioactive natural products, it occurred to us to observe the partial racemization of (+)-5 in the course of the acetalization of (+)-1 by means of the latter methodology. Aiming to investigate this drawback, which, to our best knowledge, has no precedents in the literature, we acetalized with 1,2-ethanediol and TsOH in refluxing benzene and in the presence of a Dean–Stark apparatus under various experimental conditions, enantiomerically pure (+)-1. It was found that the extent of racemization depends on the TsOH/(+)-1 and 1,2-ethanediol/(+)-1 ratios. Mechanism hypotheses for this partial and unexpected racemization are provided.

Abstract
Readily prepared cis-β-(α',α'-dimethyl)-4'-methindolylstyrenes undergo acid-catalyzed intramolecular hydroindolation to afford tetrahydrobenzo[ cd]indoles. Our experimental and computational investigations suggest that dispersive interactions between the indole and styrene preorganize substrates such that 6-membered ring formation is preferred, apparently via concerted protonation and C-C bond formation. When dispersion is attenuated (by a substituent or heteroatom), regioselectivity erodes and competing oligomerization predominates for cis substrates. Similarly, all trans-configured substrates that we evaluated failed to cyclize efficiently.

Abstract
We report the total syntheses of two indole diterpenoid natural products, paspaline A and emindole PB. Paspaline A is synthesized in a 9-step sequence from commercially available materials. The first total synthesis of emindole PB is accomplished in 13 steps and confirms a previously ambiguous structural assignment. Density functional theory calculations are utilized to interrogate the key carbocationic rearrangement in a predictive capacity to aid in the selection of the most favorable precursor substrate. This work highlights how retrosynthetic design can be augmented with quantum chemical calculations to reveal energetically feasible synthetic disconnections, minimizing time-consuming and expensive empirical evaluation.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-petromindole, an architecturally distinct congener of indole diterpene family, has been achieved. Key features of this synthetic route include the scalable and concise synthesis of tricyclic allylic alcohol from enantiopure Wieland-Mischer ketone derivative, and TMSOTf-mediated, highly efficient biomimetic C-4 cyclization of indole derivative for the rapid construction of a hexacyclic skeleton of petromindole.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed reaction of ethynyl benzoxazinanones with readily accessible β-ketoesters via a decarboxylative propargylation/hydroamination sequence has been developed. This protocol furnished a diverse range of C3 β-ketoester-functionalized indoles in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Regiodivergent γ and γ' arylations across an all-carbon quaternary center of cycloalkanols to access enantioenriched fused and bridged carbotetracycles are reported. The conformation of the carbocation guided either sequential stereospecific β-C-Me/γ-C-H-shifts or β-C-Me/γ'-C-H-shifts, providing fused carbotetracyclic analogs of dysideanone or bridged tetracycles, respectively. The reaction is highly stereoselective in building three contiguous stereocenters, where one, two, or three could be all-carbon quaternary centers. Interestingly, mechanistic studies revealed a crucial role of a methyl substituent in controlling regioselectivity.

Abstract
An efficient rhodium-catalyzed method for direct C-H functionalization at the C4 position of unprotected indoles has been developed. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the concise total syntheses of agroclavine and elymoclavine in a divergent manner. These syntheses feature a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction to assemble the triyclic indole moiety, and a ring-closing metathesis reaction to form the D ring.
