Abstract
The first enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-caulamidine D (5) and (-)-isocaulamidine D (6) were accomplished. Their absolute configurations were unambiguously elucidated through X-ray crystallography. The isolated natural samples of both 5 and 6 are determined to be the TFA salts instead of the neutral forms. It took 16 steps (longest linear sequence) to divergently access both 5 and 6 following a unified strategy. The key reactions include (1) development and application of an asymmetric Meerwein-Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement to construct the challenging C10, C23 consecutive stereocenters and (2) application of a cascade 6-exo-dig/6-exo-tet amine/nitrile cyclization reaction.

Abstract
Here, we describe a transition-metal-free condition that realized the intramolecular acylfluorination of unactivated olefins. It was designed to access seven-membered-ring-containing benzo[b]annulenones from readily prepared 2-allylamino benzoic acids. The formation of a broad scope of electronically and sterically varied benzo[b]annulenones was demonstrated (>30 examples, up to 88% yield and >20:1 dr ratio). Mechanistic studies indicated that the in situ formed XatlFluor-E-activated anhydride was the active species and induced an electrophilic 7-endo-trig cyclization, followed by fluoride capture of the cation.

Abstract
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids appeal to organic chemists with their attractive structures and their impressive antitumor and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory properties. We demonstrate a highly versatile access to this family of natural products. A general protocol with high yields in a sustainable electro‐organic key transformation on a metal‐free anode to spirodienones facilitates functionalization to the alkaloids. The biomimetic syntheses start with the readily available, inexpensive biogenic starting materials methyl gallate, O‐methyl tyramine, and vanillin derivatives. Through known dynamic resolutions, this technology provides access to both enantiomeric series of (epi‐)martidine, (epi‐)crinine, siculine, and galantamine, clinically prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Bridged and fused rings are commonly found in biologically important molecules. Current tactics to construct these ring systems are primarily based on stepwise ring formation (i.e., making one ring first followed by making another) and cycloaddition reactions (e.g., Diels-Alder reaction). To seek a complementary and perhaps more unified ring-forming approach, a deconstructive strategy based on C-C bond activation of cyclic ketones has been conceived. The named "cut-and-sew" reaction uses cyclic ketones with a tethered unsaturated moiety as substrates, which involves oxidative addition of a transition metal into the ketone C-C bond followed by intramolecular insertion of the unsaturated unit. This strategy has proved successful to access diverse ring scaffolds that are nontrivial to construct otherwise.This Account offers a concise summary of our laboratory's systematic efforts in developing transition metal-catalyzed cut-and-sew reactions for the synthesis of bridged and fused rings over the past 10 years. In particular, we will focus on the reactions using readily available benzocyclobutenones and cyclobutanones. To date, the scope of the cut-and-sew reactions has been greatly expanded. First, diverse unsaturated moieties can serve as suitable coupling partners, such as alkenyl, alkynyl, allenyl, carbonyl, and iminyl groups. Second, a variety of reaction modes have been uncovered. In this account, (4 + 2), (4 + 2 - 1), and (4 + 1) cycloadditions that lead to a range of bridged or fused scaffolds will be summarized. Third, enantioselective transformations have been realized to efficiently construct chiral scaffolds, which are enabled by two strategies: enantio-determining migratory insertion and desymmetrization of cyclobutanones. Fourth, the synthetic applications have been demonstrated in streamlined total syntheses of a number of complex natural products. Compared to conventional synthetic logics, the cut-and-sew reaction allows the development of new bond-disconnecting strategies. Thus, the syntheses of (-)-cycloclavine, (-)-thebainone A, penicibilaenes, and the proposed cycloinumakiol are discussed in more detail.In addition to the narrative of the development of the cut-and-sew chemistry, this Account also aims to provide core guiding foundations and inspirations toward broader deconstructive synthetic applications through C-C bond cleavage. It is anticipated that more classes of cyclic compounds could serve as the substrates beyond benzocyclobutenones and cyclobutanones, and more diverse unsaturated moieties could be coupled. It can also be envisaged that more innovative utilization of this cut-and-sew strategy in complex organic syntheses will be revealed in the near future.

Abstract
(-)-Galanthamine as a drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease has attracted synthetic chemists for decades. However, previous total synthetic and biomimetic approaches often use stoichiometric oxidants (metal oxidants or hypervalent iodine) to prepare the target product. Anodic oxidative coupling offers a sustainable alternative method which is, for the first time, successfully applied to the total synthesis of (-)-galanthamine. We report a new asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-galanthamine by using an anodic aryl-phenol coupling as the key synthetic step.

Abstract
An asymmetric synthetic route to (-)-galanthamine (1), a pharmacologically active Amaryllidaceae alkaloid used for the symptomatic treatment of early onset Alzheimer's disease, was successfully established with very high levels of stereocontrol. The key to achieving high chemo- and stereo-selectivity in this approach was the use of transition-metal-mediated reactions, namely, enyne ring-closing metathesis, Heck coupling, and titanium-based asymmetric allylation.

Abstract
Herein, we report the highly efficient total syntheses of galanthamine and lycoramine from a common tetracyclic intermediate. This concise synthetic route features a two-phase strategy, which includes the early-stage rapid construction of a tetracyclic skeleton followed by the late-stage selective reorganization of the tetracyclic skeleton. Key to the success of this strategy are a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cascade annulation, a DDQ-mediated intramolecular regioselective oxidative lactamization, as well as a BF3·Et2O-promoted reorganization of the bridged tetracyclic skeleton.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of sesquiterpene penicibilaenes A and B through a "C-C/C-H" approach. In the "C-C" stage, the Rh-catalyzed "cut-and-sew" transformation between trisubstituted alkene and cyclobutanone has been employed to construct the unique tricyclo[6.3.1.01,5]dodecane skeleton and the all-carbon quaternary center. Critical linker and Lewis acid effects have been identified for the C-C activation process. In the "C-H" stage, a desaturation relay-based strategy involving consecutive ketone α,β-dehydrogenation and β-functionalization has been adopted to introduce the 1,3,5-triad stereocenters to the core. The synthesis of penicibilaenes A and B has been completed in 13 and 14 steps, respectively, in the longest linear sequence.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the development of a deconstructive strategy for the first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-thebainone A, capitalizing on an enantioselective C-C bond activation and a C-O bond cleavage reaction. The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric "cut-and-sew" transformation between sterically hindered trisubstituted alkenes and benzocyclobutenones allowed efficient construction of the fused A/B/C rings and the quaternary center of the natural product. The newly optimized conditions show broad substrate scope and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.5:0.5 er). Taking advantage of boron-mediated ether bond cleavage, we completed the synthesis of the morphine alkaloid (-)-thebainone A by two complementary routes.

The reaction demonstrated complementary chemoselectivity to the C-H trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes as well as remarkable functional group compatibility especially toward radical sensitive olefin-, alkyne-, and arylhalide-bearing substrates. The examples of perfluorothio-/selenolated drug molecules indicated application potential of this strategy in drug modification and drug-analogue preparation.

Abstract
Highly selective divergent coupling reactions of benzocyclobutenones and indoles, in which the chemoselectivity is controlled by catalysts, are reported herein. The substrates undergo C2(indole)-C8(benzocyclobutenone) coupling to produce benzylated indoles and benzo[b]carbazoles in the Ni- and Ru-catalyzed reactions. A completely different selectivity pattern C2(indole)-C2(benzocyclobutenone) coupling to form arylated indoles is observed in the Rh-catalyzed reaction. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest C-H and C-C activations in the reaction pathway. Synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated by the selective synthesis of three different types of carbazoles from the representative products.

Abstract
Herein, we report a concise and collective total synthesis of three natural products aranorosinol A, aranorosinol B, and EI-2128-1 and also the known penicimutanolone. A unified strategy was conceived, which divergently accessed all four congeners within 9-11 steps (LLS) from a common intermediate. Bisoxirane-directed 1,2-addition was utilized as a key step to generate the desired configuration of the C8 stereocenter of aranorosinol A and B, 28 years after their first isolation, and these were both assigned as S configurations, while the C4' and C6' configurations of EI-2128-1 were both determined to be R,R-configurations.
