Abstract
Alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization is a strategically attractive but tactically challenging approach to the synthesis of highly substituted benzene rings. Here, a bimolecular regioselective cyclotrimerization is applied to the total synthesis of the natural product coprinol and several related alcyopterosins from the illudalane family of sesquiterpenes. The synthesis of coprinol from dimedone was completed in six steps and a 57% overall yield. Alternative functional group manipulations lead to alcyopterosins A, B, and O and two additional congeners, all within six steps.

Abstract
Thiophene S,S-dioxides are underutilized tools for the de novo construction of benzene rings in organic synthesis. We report a collective synthesis of nine illudalane sesquiterpenes using bicyclic thiophene S,S-dioxides as generalized precursors to the indane core of the natural products. Exploiting furans as unusual dienophiles in this inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cascade, this concise and convergent approach enables the synthesis of these targets in as little as five steps. Theoretical studies rationalize the reactivity of thiophene S,S-dioxides with both electron-poor and electron-rich dienophiles and reveal reaction pathways involving either nonpolar pericyclic or bifurcating ambimodal cycloadditions. Overall, this work demonstrates the wider potential of thiophene S,S-dioxides as convenient and flexible precursors to polysubstituted arenes.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of enantioenriched indane derivatives with quaternary stereocenters was developed via sequential enantioselective reduction and C-H functionalization. Good to excellent enantioselectivity could be achieved by either the CuH-catalyzed asymmetric reduction or the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) reduction of indanone derivatives. The subsequent diastereospecific and regioselective rhodium-catalyzed silylation of the methyl C-H bond led to indane derivatives with quaternary centers. This strategy was further applied in syntheses of (nor)illudalane and botryane sesquiterpenoids.

Abstract
The development of practical C-H/C-H coupling reactions remains a challenging yet appealing synthetic venture because it circumvents the need to prefunctionalize both coupling partners for the generation of C-C bonds. Herein we report a cyclative C(sp3)-H/C(sp2)-H coupling reaction of free aliphatic acids enabled by a cyclopentane-based mono-N-protected β-amino acid ligand. This reaction uses inexpensive sodium percarbonate (Na2CO3·1.5H2O2) as the sole oxidant and generates water as the only byproduct. A range of biologically important scaffolds, including tetralins, chromanes, and indanes, can be easily prepared by this protocol. Finally, the synthetic application of this methodology is demonstrated by the concise total synthesis of (±)-russujaponol F in a four-step sequence starting from readily available phenylacetic acid and pivalic acid through sequential functionalizations of four C-H bonds.

Abstract
The fungal metabolite illudinine is prepared in seven steps and ca. 55% overall yield from dimedone using an "open and shut" (ring-opening and ring-closing) strategy. Tandem ring-opening fragmentation and olefination of dimedone establishes alkyne and vinylarene functionality linked by a neopentylene tether. Oxidative cycloisomerization then provides the illudinine framework. The key innovation in this second-generation synthesis of illudinine is the use of the nitrile functional group, rather than an ester, as the functional precursor to the carboxylic acid of illudinine. The small, linear nitrile (C≡N) is associated with improved selectivity, π-conjugation, and reactivity at multiple points in the synthetic sequence relative to the carboxylic acid ester. Preliminary assays indicate that illudinine and several related synthetic analogues are monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which is the first reported indication of biological activity associated with this natural product. Illudinine was found to inhibit monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) with an IC50 of 18 ± 7.1 μM in preliminary assays.
