Abstract
A strategy to control the diastereoselectivity of bond formation at a prochiral attached-ring bridgehead is reported. An unusual stereodivergent Michael reaction relies on basic vs. Lewis acidic conditions and non-covalent interactions to control re- vs. si- facial selectivity en route to fully substituted attached-rings. This divergency reflects differential engagement of one rotational isomer of the attached-ring system. The successful synthesis of an erythro subtarget diastereomer ultimately leads to a short formal synthesis of merrilactone A.

From Target-Oriented to Motif-Oriented: A Case Study on Nannocystin Total Synthesis. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25225327.

Abstract
Natural product total synthesis is in essence target-oriented in that a set of organic transformations are orchestrated into a workable process, leading ultimately to the target molecule with a predefined architecture. For a bioactive lead, proof of synthetic viability is merely the beginning. Ensuing effort repurposes the initial synthesis for structural diversification in order to probe structure-activity relationship (SAR). Yet accessibility is not equal to flexibility; moving from convergency to divergency, it is not always feasible to explore the chemical space around a particular substructure of interest simply by tweaking an established route. In this situation, the motif-oriented strategy becomes a superior choice, which gives priority to synthetic flexibility at the concerned site such that a route is adopted only if it is capable of implementing diversification therein. This strategy was recently devised by Fürstner et al., enabling them to achieve total synthesis of both natural and non-natural nannocystins varied at an otherwise challenging position. The present review examines seven distinctive nannocystin total syntheses reported thus far and showcases the merits of conventional (target-oriented) as well as motif-oriented strategies, concluding that these two approaches complement each other and are both indispensable for natural product based drug discovery.

Abstract
The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds. As an emblematic case, the nucleophilic character of a π-extended enolate-type chain system may be relayed from the legitimate α-site to the vinylogous γ, ε, ..., ω remote carbon sites along the chain, provided that suitable HOMO-raising strategies are adopted to transform the unsaturated pronucleophilic precursors into the reactive polyenolate species. On the other hand, when "unnatural" carbonyl ipso-sites are activated as nucleophiles (umpolung), vinylogation extends the nucleophilic character to "unnatural" β, δ, ... remote sites. Merging the principle of vinylogy with activation modalities and concepts such as iminium ion/enamine organocatalysis, NHC-organocatalysis, cooperative organo/metal catalysis, bifunctional organocatalysis, dicyanoalkylidene activation, and organocascade reactions represents an impressive step forward for all vinylogous transformations. This review article celebrates this evolutionary progress, by collecting, comparing, and critically describing the achievements made over the nine year period 2010-2018, in the generation of vinylogous enolate-type donor substrates and their use in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A distinctly different approach for the vinylogous aldolation of aldehydes is described, which exploits 2-oxonia-Cope rearrangement reactions between two readily available partners, a set of rationally designed chiral homoallylic alcohol synthons and aldehydes, under simple conditions. In these processes, chirality transfer from the former to the latter is nearly perfect, giving rise to excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity without the regioselectivity issue associated with traditional vinylogous aldol reactions.
