Abstract
The catalytic cross-coupling of identical or similar functional groups is a cornerstone strategy for carbon-carbon bond formation, as exemplified by renowned methods, such as olefin cross-metathesis, Kolbe electrolysis, and various cross-electrophile couplings. However, similar methodologies for coupling aldehydes─fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis─remain underdeveloped. While the benzoin-type condensation, first reported in 1832, offers a reliable route for aldehyde dimerization, the chemo- and enantioselective cross-coupling of nonidentical yet similar aldehydes remains an unsolved challenge. Herein, we report a unified platform enabling highly chemo- and enantioselective cross-coupling of aldehydes. By leveraging nickel photoredox catalysis in tandem with discrete activation strategies for each aldehyde, this mechanistically distinct approach facilitates the enantioselective union of an aldehyde-derived α-oxy radical with an acyl radical, photocatalytically generated from a distinct aldehyde. This novel strategy enables modular access to enantioenriched α-oxygenated ketones with two minimally differentiated aliphatic substituents, a feat not achievable with existing chemocatalytic or biocatalytic techniques. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by its application in the streamlined asymmetric synthesis of various medicinally relevant molecules. Additionally, mechanistic investigations rationalize the versatility of nickel photoredox catalysis to exploit new pathways for addressing long-standing synthetic challenges.

Abstract
Iriomoteolide-1a and iriomoteolide-1b are very potent cytotoxic agents, isolated from marine dinoflagellates. We carried out the enantioselective syntheses of the proposed structures of these natural products. However, our analysis of the NMR spectra of the synthetic iriomoteolide-1a and the natural products revealed that the structures of iriomoteolide-1a and iriomoteolide-1b were assigned incorrectly. Based upon our detailed analysis of the spectral data of the synthetic iriomoteolide-1a and the natural products, we rationally designed three diastereomers of the proposed structure of 1 in an effort to assign the correct structures. The key steps of our syntheses of the proposed structures of iriomoteolides involved a highly diastereoselective ene reaction, a carbocupration that utilized a Gilman reagent, a Julia-Kocienski olefination to couple fragments, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization to form the target macrolactone. This synthetic route was then utilized to carry out syntheses of three diastereomers to the proposed structure of 1. These diastereomeric structures show close similarities to natural iriomoteolide-1a; however, there were differences in their spectral data. While natural iriomoteolides exhibited potent cytotoxicies, our preliminary biological evaluation of synthetic iriomoteolide-1a, iriomoteolide-1b, and all three synthetic derivatives did not show any appreciable cytotoxic properties.

Abstract
Iriomoteolide-2a is a marine macrolide metabolite isolated from a cultured broth of the benthic dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. HYA024 strain. This naturally occurring substance was reported to show remarkable cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines HeLa and DG-75 and in vivo antitumor activity against murine leukemia P388 cell line. Herein, the total synthesis, stereochemical revision, and biological assessment of iriomoteolide-2a are reported in detail. Total synthesis of the proposed structure 1 of iriomoteolide-2a featured a late-stage convergent assembly of three components by a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, an esterification, and a ring-closing metathesis. However, the NMR data of synthetic 1 were not identical to those of the natural product. Careful analysis of the NMR data of the authentic material and synthesis/NMR analysis of appropriately designed model compounds led to consideration of four possible stereoisomers 2-5 as candidates for the correct structure. Accordingly, total syntheses of 2-5 were achieved by taking advantage of the convergent strategy, and comparison of the NMR spectra of synthetic 2-5 with those of the natural product led to the conclusion that 5 shows the correct relative configuration of iriomoteolide-2a. The absolute configuration of this natural product was finally established through chiral HPLC analysis of synthetic 5/ent-5 with the authentic sample. The antiproliferative activity of the synthetic compounds was assessed against HeLa and A549 cells to show that, in contrast to expectation, synthetic 5 and ent-5 were only marginally active in these cell lines. This work clearly underscores the vital role of total synthesis in the establishment of the structure and biological activity of natural products.
