Abstract
The title marine natural products have been prepared by total synthesis and in the case of congeners 3, 6, and 7 for the first time. Each of these was obtained by manipulation of readily prepared denigrin B (2). The structure, 3, assigned to denigrin C is shown to be incorrect. Reaction of compound 2 with DDQ has led, in high yield, to the related natural product spirodactylone (16), while treating the corresponding permethyl ether 15 with PIFA/BF3·Et2O provides compound 20, embodying an isomeric framework.

Abstract
Neopetrotaurines A-C (1-3), unusual alkaloids possessing two isoquinoline-derived moieties that are linked via a unique taurine bridge, were isolated from a Neopetrosia sp. marine sponge. These new compounds have proton-deficient structural scaffolds that are difficult to unambiguously assign using only conventional 2- and 3-bond 1H-13C and 1H-15N heteronuclear correlation data. Thus, the application of LR-HSQMBC and HMBC NMR experiments optimized to detect 4- and 5-bond long-range 1H-13C heteronuclear correlations facilitated the structure elucidation of these unusual taurine-bridged marine metabolites. Neopetrotaurines A-C (1-3) showed significant inhibition of transcription driven by the oncogenic fusion protein PAX3-FOXO1, which is associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and cytotoxic activity against PAX3-FOXO1-positive cell lines.

Abstract
A practical strategy for the synthesis of spiro[5.5]trienones-fused selenocyanates and spiro[4.5]trienones-fused selenocyanates through electrophilic selenocyanogen cyclization and dearomative spirocyclization is reported. This approach was conducted under mild conditions with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. The utility of this procedure is exhibited in the late-stage functionalization of nature product and drug molecules.

Abstract
The multiple C-H bonds of biaryl ynones render the 6-exo-trig regioselective C-H activation dearomatization to spiro[5.5]trienones challenging since the competing reactions of C-H bonds on Ar1 or the ortho-C-H bonds on Ar3 may result in 5-exo-trig cyclization to indenones or 6-exo-trig ortho-dearomatization, respectively. We here report an unprecendented dearomatization of biaryl ynones with aldehydes via double C-H functionalization where a regiospecific remote unactivated para-C-H functionalization of biaryl ynones efficiently furnishes acylated spiro[5.5]trienones. This cascade cyclization features a green catalyst and solvent and high atom- and step-economy.

Abstract
The first efforts for the development of methods for Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation (CASE) were published more than 50 years ago. CASE expert systems based on one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data have matured considerably by now. The structures of a great number of complex natural products have been elucidated and/or revised using such programs. In this article, we discuss the most likely directions in which CASE will evolve. We act on the premise that a synergistic interaction exists between CASE, new NMR experiments, and methods of computational chemistry, which are continuously being improved. The new developments in NMR experiments (long-range correlation experiments, pure-shift methods, coupling constants measurement and prediction, residual dipolar couplings [RDCs]), and residual chemical shift anisotropies [RCSAs], evolution of density functional theory (DFT), and machine learning algorithms will have an influence on CASE systems and vice versa. This is true also for new techniques for chemical analysis (Atomic Force Microscopy [AFM], "crystalline sponge" X-ray analysis, and micro-Electron Diffraction [micro-ED]), which will be used in combination with expert systems. We foresee that CASE will be utilized widely and become a routine tool for NMR spectroscopists and analysts in academic and industrial laboratories. We believe that the "golden age" of CASE is still in the future.

Abstract
Approximately 1700 naphthoquinones have been reported from a range of natural product source materials, but only 283 have been isolated from fungi, fewer than 75 of those were dimers, and only 2 were heterodimers with a head-to-tail linkage. During a search for anticancer leads from fungi, a series of new naphthoquinones (1-4), including two heterodimers (3 and 4), were isolated from Pyrenochaetopsis sp. (strain MSX63693). In addition, the previously reported 5-hydroxy-6-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2,7-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthalenedione (5), misakimycin (6), 5-hydroxy-6-[1-(acetyloxy)ethyl]-2,7-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthalenedione (7), 6-ethyl-2,7-dimethoxyjuglone (8), and kirschsteinin (9) were isolated. While the structure elucidation of 1-9 was achieved using procedures common for natural products chemistry studies (high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), 1D and 2D NMR), the elucidation of the heterodimers was facilitated substantially by data from the long-range heteronuclear single quantum multiple bond correlation (LR-HSQMBC) experiment. The absolute configuration of 1 was established by analysis of the measured vs calculated ECD data. The racemic mixture of 4 was established via X-ray crystallography of an analogue that incorporated a heavy atom. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against the human cancer cells lines MDA-MB-435 (melanoma), MDA-MB-231 (breast), and OVCAR3 (ovarian), where the IC50 values ranged between 1 and 20 μM.

Abstract
This review covers the literature published in 2019 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 719 citations (701 for the period January to December 2019) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms. The emphasis is on new compounds (1490 in 440 papers for 2019), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. Methods used to study marine fungi and their chemical diversity have also been discussed.

Abstract
Seven new arylpyrrole alkaloids (1-7), along with four known compounds, were isolated from an extract of a Dactylia sp. nov. marine sponge, and their structures were elucidated by interpretation of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. Denigrins D-G (1-4) have highly substituted pyrrole or pyrrolone rings in their core structures, while dactylpyrroles A-C (5-7) have tricyclic phenanthrene cores. Due to the proton-deficient nature of these scaffolds, key heteronuclear correlations from 1H-15N HMBC and LR-HSQMBC NMR experiments were used in the structure assignment of denigrin D (1). Dictyodendrin F (8), a previously described co-metabolite, inhibited transcription driven by the oncogenic PAX3-FOXO1 fusion gene with an IC50 value of 13 μM.

Abstract
The detection of ultra-long-range (4JCH and higher) heteronuclear connectivities can complement the conventional use of HMBC/HSQMBC data in structure elucidation NMR studies of proton-deficient natural products, where two-bond and three-bond correlations are usually observed. The performance of the selHSQMBC experiment with respect to its broadband HSQMBC counterpart is evaluated. Despite its frequency-selectivity nature, selHSQMBC efficiently prevents any unwanted signal phase and intensity modulations due to passive proton-proton coupling constants typically involved in HSQMBC. As a result, selHSQMBC offers a significant sensitivity enhancement and provides pure in-phase multiplets, improving the detection levels for short- and long-range cross-peaks corresponding to small heteronuclear coupling values. This is particularly relevant for experiments optimized to small nJCH values (2-3 Hz), referred to as LR-selHSQMBC, where key cross-peaks that are not visible in the equivalent broadband LR-HSQMBC spectrum can become observable in optimum conditions.

Abstract
Eleven new nitrogenous meroterpenoids, cinerols A-K (1-11), were isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea cinerea collected in the South China Sea, and their structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis. Cinerols A (1) and B (2) feature a rare 5H-pyrrolo[1,2a]benzimidazole moiety, while cinerols C-G (3-7) are examples of rare meroterpene benzoxazoles. The cinerols are noncytotoxic to human melanoma A375 cells at the concentration of 32 μM; however, selected cinerols exhibit moderate inhibitory activity against one or more of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B, ATP-citrate lyase, and SH2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 with IC50 values of 2.8-27 μM.
