Abstract
Skeleton rearrangement could rapidly transfer simple molecules to complex structures and has significant potential in the total synthesis of natural products. We developed a one-pot reaction cascade of double oxidative rearrangement of furan and indole followed by a nucleophilic cyclization that was successfully applied for the formal synthesis of rhynchophylline/isorhynchophylline and the first total synthesis of (±)-7(R)-geissoschizol oxindole/(±)-7(S)-geissoschizol oxindole. In addition, the geissoschizol oxindoles were revised to their C3 epimers, and the mechanism for the reversed stereochemistry through the retro-Mannich/Mannich cascade was proposed and supported by density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
An intramolecular aza-Prins cyclization of aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement products was developed in which bismuth tribromide (BiBr3 ) plays a dual role as an efficient Lewis acid and source of the bromide nucleophile. This approach enables the facile construction of highly functionalized 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (9-ABNs), which are valuable synthetic building blocks and a powerful platform for the synthesis of a variety of alkaloid natural products and drug molecules. Suitable substrates for the aza-Prins cyclization include 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, alkynes, and allenes, with good to excellent yields observed. Finally, we showcase the application of this new approach to the enantioselective total synthesis of six indole alkaloids: (-)-suaveoline (1), (-)-norsuaveoline (2), (-)-macrophylline (3), (+)-normacusine B (4), (+)-Na -methyl-16-epipericyclivine (5) and (+)-affinisine (6) in a total of 9-14 steps. This study significantly expands the synthetic utility of the aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement, and the strategy (aza-Achmatowicz/aza-Prins) is expected to be applicable to the total synthesis of other members of the big family of macroline and sarpagine indole alkaloids.

Abstract
The development and application of the asymmetric synthesis of oligosaccharides from achiral starting materials is reviewed. This de novo asymmetric approach centers around the use of asymmetric catalysis for the synthesis of optically pure furan alcohols in conjunction with Achmatowicz oxidative rearrangement for the synthesis of various pyranones. In addition, the use of a diastereoselective palladium-catalyzed glycosylation and subsequent diastereoselective post-glycosylation transformation was used for the synthesis of oligosaccharides. The application of this approach to oligosaccharide synthesis is discussed.

Abstract
The six-membered heterocycles containing oxygen and nitrogen (tetrahydropyrans, pyrans, piperidines) are among the most common heterocyclic structures ubiquitously present in bioactive molecules such as carbohydrates, small-molecule drugs, and natural products. Chemical synthesis of fully functionalized pyrans and piperidines is a research theme of practical importance and scientific significance and, thus, has attracted continuous interest from synthetic chemists. Among the numerous synthetic approaches, Achmatowicz rearrangement (AchR) represents a general and unique strategy that uses biomass-derived furfuryl alcohols as the renewable starting material to obtain fully functionalized six-membered oxygen/nitrogen heterocycles, which provides golden opportunities for organic chemists to address various synthetic challenges.This Account summarizes our 10 years of work on exploiting AchR to address some challenges in organic synthesis ranging from green chemistry and organic methodology to the total synthesis of natural products. We enabled the sustainable and safe use of AchR in a small (academia) or large (industrial) scale by developing two generations of green approaches for AchR (oxone-halide and Fenton-halide), which largely eliminate the use of the most popular, but more toxic and expansive, NBS and m-CPBA. This triggered our intensive interest in developing new green chemistry for important organic reactions, in particular, halogenation/oxidation reactions involving reactive halogenating species with the aim of eliminating the use of commonly used toxic halogen agents such as elemental bromine, chlorine gas, and various N-haloamide reagents (NBS, NCS, and NIS). We successfully employed oxone-halide and Fenton-halide as green alternatives to several mechanistically related organic reactions including arene/alkene halogenation, oxidation or oxidative rearrangement of indoles, oxidation of alcohols/thioacetals, and oxidative halogenation of aldoximes for the in situ generation of nitrile oxide. These green reactions are expected to have a solid impact on the future of organic synthesis in academia and industries.We expanded the synthetic utility of AchR by exploring several new transformations of AchR products and developed a cascade reductive ring expansion, reductive deoxygenation/Heck-Matsuda arylation, palladium-catalyzed C-arylation, and regiodivergent [3 + 2] cycloaddition with 1,3-dicarbonyls. These methodologies offer a new avenue to fully functionalized six-membered heterocycles.The synthetic utility of AchR was demonstrated in our total synthesis of 28 natural products with a pyran/piperidine moiety. The AchR-based strategy endows the total synthesis with scalability, sustainability, and flexibility. The green and scalable approaches developed in our lab for AchR allow us to easily obtain decagrams of synthetically valuable pyrans and/or piperidines with low risk and low cost from biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol/aldehyde.

Abstract
1,3-Allyl and 1,2-allyl shifts through [3,3]- and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements are well-established and widely used in organic synthesis. In contrast, 1,5-allyl shift through related [3,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement is unknown because [3,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement is thermally Woodward-Hoffmann forbidden. Herein, we report an unexpected discovery of a formal 1,5-allyl shift of allyl furfuryl alcohol through a 2-step sequential rearrangement. Mechanistically, this formal 1,5-allyl shift is achieved through a sequential ring expansion/contraction rearrangement: 1) Achmatowicz rearrangement (ring expansion), and 2) cascade oxonia-Cope rearrangement/retro-Achmatowicz rearrangement (ring contraction). This new 1,5-allyl shift method is demonstrated with >20 examples and expected to find applications in organic synthesis and materials chemistry.

Lepadins are cis-fused decahydroquinoline (DHQ) marine alkaloids that have shown diverse biological activities and have attracted extensive synthetic interest. A new collective synthetic strategy is reported that features a green chemistry approach for constructing the common cis-fused DHQ core, which is achieved through green oxone-halide oxidation for both the aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement and the intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition of nitrile oxide-alkene. Collective total syntheses of lepadins A-E and H are accomplished from the common DHQ core within 10 steps.

Abstract
The synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, including natural alkaloids and other compounds presenting different types of biological activities have proved to be successful employing chiral sulfinyl imines derived from tert-butanesulfinamide. These imines are versatile chiral auxiliaries and have been extensively used as eletrophiles in a wide range of reactions. The electron-withdrawing sulfinyl group facilitates the nucleophilic addition of organometallic compounds to the iminic carbon with high diastereoisomeric excess and the free amines obtained after an easy removal of the tert-butanesulfinyl group can be transformed into enantioenriched nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The goal of this review is to the highlight enantioselective syntheses of heterocycles involving the use of chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines as reaction intermediates, including the synthesis of several natural products. The synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles in which the nitrogen atom is not provided by the chiral imine will not be considered in this review. The sections are organized according to the size of the heterocycles. The present work will comprehensively cover the most pertinent contributions to this research area from 2012 to 2020. We regret in advance that some contributions are excluded in order to maintain a concise format.

Abstract
A tremendous upsurge has been seen in the recent decade for the proximal and remote functionalization of activated and unactivated substrates via palladium redox pathways. This feature article discusses some of the recent reports on direct as well as indirect C(sp3)-H functionalization via cross-coupling reactions under palladium catalysis. Activated substrates (possessing acidic C(sp3)-H) including enones, ketones, aldehydes, silylenol ethers, esters, silyl ketene acetals, amides, cyano, α-amino esters, and O-carbamates, capable of undergoing cross-coupling reactions at the α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ε-positions, will be discussed. To overcome the challenging task of achieving regioselectivity, a variety of innovative modifications have been reported. The reports of C-H activations based on directing group, and as native functionality have been illustrated at the β-, γ- and δ-positions. Substrates such as α-amino esters, carbonyls, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, afford site-selective C(sp3)-H functionalization via varied-sized reactive metallacycles and are a unique class of substrates whose C(sp3)-H functionalizations were earlier considered as very difficult.

Abstract
Chiral sulfinamides are among the best known chiral auxiliaries in the stereoselective synthesis of amines and their derivatives. The most extensively used enantiopure tert-butanesulfinamide emerged as the gold standard among many others over the last two decades. The present review attempts to provide an overview of tert-butanesulfinamide mediated asymmetric N-heterocycle synthesis via sulfinimines and covers literature from 2010-2020. This methodology offers general access to structurally diverse piperidines, pyrrolidines, azetidines, and their fused derivatives that represent the structural motif of many natural products and therapeutically applicable compounds.

Noyori-Ikariya-type ruthenium(II)-catalysts for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) have been known for 25 years and have proved as a well-behaved and user-friendly platform for the synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols. A progress has been made in the past five years in understanding the asymmetric reduction of complex ketones, where up to four stereocenters can be controlled in a single chemical transformation. Intriguing multi-chiral molecular architectures are therefore available in few well understood and robust synthetic steps from commercially available building blocks and possess handles for additional functionalization. The aim of this Review is to showcase the availability of three-dimensional scaffolds and homochiral lead-like compounds via ATH and inspire their direct use in drug discovery endeavors. Basic mechanistic insights are provided to demystify the stereo-chemical outcomes, as well as examples of diastereoselective transformations of enantiopure alcohols to give a feeling of how these rigid non-planar molecules can be further elaborated.

Abstract
The first Pd-catalyzed arylation of Achmatowicz rearrangement products with arylboronic acids under mild conditions (rt) to provide the synthetically versatile C-aryl dihydropyranones is reported. It is found that the 4-keto group of Achmatowicz products is essential to increase the reactivity of the Pd-π-allyl complex toward arylboronic acids and that phosphine as the palladium ligand would be destructive to the reaction. This new coupling method addresses the major limitations of previous Pd-catalyzed allyl-aryl couplings of 2,3-unsaturated glycosides with an aryl Grignard or aryl zinc reagent.
