Abstract
Inflammation is connected with a variety of diseases and there is still a need to develop more effective and safer anti-inflammatory drugs. Herein, we synthesized, resolved, and characterized eight enantiopure isomers of yaequinolone J1 (1), yaequinolone J2 (2), 4'-desmethoxyyaequinolone J1 (3), and 4'-desmethoxyyaequinolone J2 (4). The key synthetic steps were extended and 34 racemic analogues modified at the 4-aryl, the N-position, and the pyran ring were designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities in RAW 264.7 cells of which 13 compounds showed significant inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production at a concentration of 0.1 μM, which was more potent than that of indomethacin. Furthermore, compounds (-)-3, (-)-4, 5h, and 6g reduced the production of IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells at a concentration of 50 nM. A preliminary SAR indicated that 3'-Br (5h), 4'-NO2 (6g) on 4-phenyl and 3-bromobenzyl (7f) on the N-position were the most effective substituents. This is the first report of the anti-inflammatory yaequinolone alkaloids and the present study provided evidence for exploiting this series of highly efficacious derivatives for new anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
The strong antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer activities demonstrated by quinolones make them promising lead structures and important synthetic targets for drug discovery. Here, we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first scalable total synthesis of antiviral (+)-aniduquinolone A, possessing a 3,4-dioxygenated 5-hydroxy-4-aryl-quinolin-2(1H)-one skeleton. This synthetic strategy explores E-stereoselective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination as the key step to assemble isopropenyl substituted tetrahydrofuran onto the 3,4-dioxygenated 5-hydroxy-4-aryl-quinolin-2(1H)-one core, which is built by highly diastereoselective intramolecular aldol reaction. Moreover, two sets of stereoisomers of aniduquinolone A with substantially overlapping NMR data were synthesized completely and assigned unambiguously by comprehensive analysis of both their spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction data. Unexpectedly, aflaquinolones A, C, and D that feature different 2,4-dimethyl cyclohexanone moieties were transformed successfully from (+)-aniduquinolone A by treating with TFA. The methodology delineated herein can be applied broadly to the synthesis of natural alkaloids containing the core structure of 3,4-dioxygenated 5-hydroxy-4-aryl-quinolin-2(1H)-one.

Abstract
We report a computational investigation of two reaction cascades occurring following the Claisen rearrangements of aryl propargyl ethers to the alternate ortho positions in unsymmetrical reactants. Our computations explain how substituents influence reactivity and regioselectivity. Rearrangement to the substituted ortho carbon leads to a tricyclo[3.2.1.0]octane core, while rearrangement to an unsubstituted ortho carbon leads to a benzopyran. Density functional theory with ωB97X-D indicates that these reactions involve rate-determining Claisen rearrangements followed by subsequent reaction cascades of the Claisen rearrangement products depending on the presence or absence of a substituent at the ortho carbon.

Abstract
Divergent total syntheses of 10 yaequinolone-related natural products have been achieved for the first time by late-stage C-H olefination of 3,4-dioxygenated 4-aryl-5-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones, core structures of this family of natural products. A robust synthetic methodology to construct the core structures has been established, and the C-H olefination reaction has been carried out with synthetically useful yields and high levels of site-selectivity under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a Pd/S,O-ligand catalyst.

Abstract
Propargyl aza-Claisen rearrangement of 4-propargylaminoisoxazoles 1 proceeded in the presence of cationic gold(i) catalysts to give 4-amino-5-allenylisoxazoles 2 in good to high yields. The silyl group at the terminal alkyne and a cationic gold(i) catalyst bearing a sterically bulky ligand are essential for the generation of isolable allene intermediates. The N-protection of the generated 4-amino-5-allenylisoxazoles 2 allowed the isolation of 5-allenylisoxazoles 4 that have never been synthesized. N-Propargyl aniline 5 was successfully converted to the corresponding ortho-allenyl aniline 6 under the current reaction conditions.

Abstract
ConspectusThe use of photocatalysis in organic chemistry has encountered a surge of novel transformations since the start of the 21st century. The majority of these transformations are driven by the generation and subsequent reaction of radicals, owing to the intrinsic property of common photocatalysts to transfer single electrons from their excited state. While this is a powerful and elegant method to develop novel transformations, several research groups recently sought to further extend the toolbox of photocatalysis into the realm of polar ionic reactivity by the formation of cationic as well as anionic key reaction intermediates to furnish a desired product.Our group became especially interested in the photocatalytic formation of anionic carbon nucleophiles, as the overall transformation resembles classical organometallic reactions like Grignard, Barbier, and Reformatsky reactions, which are ubiquitous in organic synthesis with broad applications especially in the formation of valuable C-C bonds. Although these classical reactions are frequently applied, their use still bears certain disadvantages; one is the necessity of an (over)stoichiometric amount of a reducing metal. The reducing, low-valent, metal is solely applied to activate the starting material to form the organometallic carbanion synthon, while the final reaction product does generally not contain a metal species. Hence, a stoichiometric amount of metal salt is bound to be generated at the end of each reaction, diminishing the atom economy. The use of visible light as mild and traceless activation agent to drive chemical reactions can be a means to arrive at a more atom economic transformation, as a reducing metal source is avoided. Beyond this, the vast pool of photocatalytic activation methods offers the potential to employ easily available starting materials, as simple as unfunctionalized alkanes, to open novel and more facile retrosynthetic pathways. However, as mentioned above, photocatalysis is dominated by open-shell radical reactivity. With neutral radicals showing an intrinsically different reactivity than ionic species, novel strategies to form intermediates expressing a polar behavior need to be developed in order to achieve this goal.In the last couple of years, several methods toward this aim have been reported by our group and others. This Account aims to give an overview of the different existing strategies to photocatalytically form carbon centered anions or equivalents of those in order to form C-C bonds. As the main concept is to omit a stoichiometric reductant source (like a low-valent metal in classical organometallic reactions), only redox-neutral and reductant-free transformations were taken into closer consideration. We present selected examples of important strategies and try to illustrate the intentions and concepts behind the methods developed by our group and others.

Abstract
A concise synthesis of yaequinolones J1 and J2 is reported. The route is based on the aryne insertion into the σ-C-N bond of an unsymmetric imide followed by a diastereoselective aldol cyclization of the resulting N-acylated aminobenzophenone. The chromene motif is generated in the first step by an organocatalytic tandem Knoevenagel electrocyclization of citral and 2-bromoresorcinol. The approach adheres to the ideality principle, using almost exclusively strategic bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
Generation of reactive intermediates and interception of these fleeting species under physiological conditions is a common strategy employed by Nature to build molecular complexity. However, selective formation of these species under mild conditions using classical synthetic techniques is an outstanding challenge. Here, we demonstrate the utility of biocatalysis in generating o-quinone methide intermediates with precise chemoselectivity under mild, aqueous conditions. Specifically, α-ketoglutarate-dependent non-heme iron enzymes, CitB and ClaD, are employed to selectively modify benzylic C-H bonds of o-cresol substrates. In this transformation, biocatalytic hydroxylation of a benzylic C-H bond affords a benzylic alcohol product which, under the aqueous reaction conditions, is in equilibrium with the corresponding o-quinone methide. o-Quinone methide interception by a nucleophile or a dienophile allows for one-pot conversion of benzylic C-H bonds into C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-S bonds in chemoenzymatic cascades on preparative scale. The chemoselectivity and mild nature of this platform is showcased here by the selective modification of peptides and chemoenzymatic synthesis of the chroman natural product (-)-xyloketal D.

Abstract
A general strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-dioxygenated quinolin-2-one natural products is reported. The key step is a regioselective insertion of arynes into unsymmetric imides. When performed in continuous flow, the reaction proceeds within minutes, while lower yields and longer reaction times are observed in batch. The resulting N-acylated 2-aminobenzophenones were transformed to (±)-peniprequinolone, (±)-aflaquinolones E and F, (±)-6-deoxyaflaquinolone E, (±)-quinolinones A and B, and (±)-aniduquinolone C in 1-3 steps.

Abstract
A practical and readily scalable reaction sequence was developed for the straightforward synthesis of a new family of larger π-conjugated naphthopyrans by a Brønsted acid-catalyzed aromatic annulation of alkoxyallenes with inert naphthols. The cascade pathway involves allylation/cyclization/debenzyloxylation/isomerization/dehydration. The new class of solid state diphenylmethylene substituted naphthopyrans are fluorescent emissive and proved to have aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior.
