Abstract
Rearranged homoisoflavonoids constitute a unique group of natural products, renowned for their structural diversity and complexity. These compounds, derived from modifications in the 3-benzylchroman skeleton, are categorized into four subclasses: brazilin, caesalpin, protosappanin, and scillascillin homoisoflavonoids. This review examines the advancements in the total synthesis of these complex structures, aiming to highlight the challenges and opportunities encountered. A comparative analysis of the strategies employed thus far to synthesize these compounds provides a comprehensive understanding of the progress in this field.

Abstract
Atropisomeric compounds-stereoisomers that arise from the restricted rotation about a single bond-have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their immense potential for applications in a variety of fields, including medicinal chemistry, catalysis and molecular nanoscience. This increased interest led to the invention of new molecular motors, the incorporation of atropisomers into drug discovery programmes and a wide range of novel atroposelective reactions, including those that simultaneously control multiple stereogenic axes. A diverse set of synthetic methodologies, which can be grouped into desymmetrizations, (dynamic) kinetic resolutions, cross-coupling reactions and de novo ring formations, is available for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of various atropisomer classes. In this Review, we generalize the concepts for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of atropisomers within these categories with an emphasis on recent advancements and underdeveloped atropisomeric scaffolds beyond stereogenic C(sp2)-C(sp2) axes. We also discuss more complex systems with multiple stereogenic axes or higher-order stereogenicity.

Abstract
Chiral α-aminophosphonates with adjacent carbon and phosphonate stereogenic centers have been employed as ligands in the copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols, resulting in the production of chiral BINOLs in favorable yields and moderate to good enantiomeric excess. This represents the first application of chiral P-based ligands to enable such a transformation. The synthesis of these chiral α-aminophosphonate ligands offers a significant advantage over approaches that typically necessitate elaborate synthetic processes for chiral ligand production.

Abstract
The selective oxidative coupling of phenol derivatives, involving carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-oxygen (C-O) bond formation, has emerged as a critical approach in the synthesis of natural products. However, achieving precise control over the selectivity in coupling reactions of unsubstituted phenols utilizing solar light as the driving force remains a big challenge. In this study, we report a series of porous Cs3Bi2X9 (X=Cl, Br, I) photocatalysts with tailored band gaps and compositions engineered for efficient solar-light-driven oxidative phenol coupling. Notably, p-Cs3Bi2Br9 exhibited about 73 % selectivity for C-C coupling, displaying a high formation rate of 47.3 μmol gcat -1 h-1 under solar radiation. Furthermore, this approach enables control of the site-selectivity for phenol derivatives on Cs3Bi2X9, enhancing C-C coupling. The distinctive porous structure and appropriate band-edge positions of Cs3Bi2Br9 facilitated efficient charge separation, and surface interaction/activation of phenolic hydroxyl groups, resulting in the kinetically preferred formation of C-C over C-O bond. Mechanistic insights into the reaction pathway, supported by comprehensive control experiments, unveiled the crucial role of interfacial charge transfers and Lewis acid Bi sites in stabilizing phenolic intermediates, thereby directing the regioselectivity of diradical couplings and resulting in the formation of unsymmetrical biphenols.

Abstract
An oxidative strategy for the preparation of dihydrobenzofurans via heterogeneous photocatalysis is reported. This method leverages the surface interaction between the alkenyl phenol and the TiO2 solid surface, which enables direct activation by visible light without the need for pre-functionalization or surface modification. The resulting alkenyl phenoxyl radical is proposed to be selectively captured by a neutral phenol nucleophile, rendering β-5' coupling with excellent chemo- and regio-selectivity. The reaction proceeds under benign conditions, using an inexpensive, nontoxic, and recyclable photocatalyst under visible light irradiation with air as the terminal oxidant at room temperature.

Abstract
Tyr-derived cyclic peptide natural products are formed by enzymatic manifolds that oxidatively cross-link embedded phenolic side chains of tyrosine (Tyr) and 4-hydroxyphenylglycine residues during their controlled production. Bioactive Tyr-derived cyclic peptides, such as the arylomycins and vancomycins, continue to motivate the development of enzymatic and chemical strategies for their de novo assembly and modification. However, chemical access to these structurally diverse natural cycles can be challenging and step intensive. Therefore, we developed an oxidative procedure to selectively convert Tyr-containing N4-substituted 1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione peptides (urazole peptides) into stable Tyr-linked cyclic peptides. We show that Tyr-containing urazole peptides are simple to prepare and convert into reactive N4-substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione peptides by oxidation, which then undergo spontaneous cyclization under mildly basic aqueous conditions to form a cross-linkage with the phenol side chain of embedded Tyr residues. Using this approach, we have demonstrated access to over 25 Tyr-linked cyclic peptides (3- to 11-residue cycles) with good tolerance of native residue side chain functionalities. Importantly, this method is simple to perform, and product formation can be quickly confirmed by mass spectrometric and 1H NMR spectroscopic analyses.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of glycopeptide antibiotics such as vancomycin and other biologically active biaryl-bridged and diaryl ether-linked macrocyclic peptides includes key enzymatic oxidative phenol macrocyclization(s) of linear precursors. However, a simple and step-economical biomimetic version of this transformation remains underdeveloped. Here, we report highly efficient conditions for preparing biaryl-bridged and diaryl ether-linked macrocyclic peptides based on multicopper(II) clusters. The selective syntheses of ring models of vancomycin and the arylomycin cyclic core illustrate the potential of this technology to facilitate the assembly of complex antibiotic macrocyclic peptides, whose syntheses are considered highly challenging. The unprecedented ability of multicopper(II) clusters to chelate tethered diphenols and promote intramolecular over intermolecular coupling reactions demonstrates that copper clusters can catalyze redox transformations that cannot be accessed by smaller metal catalysts.

Abstract
Enantiomers, where chirality arises from restricted rotation around a single bond, are atropisomers. Due to the unique nature of the origins of their chirality, synthetic strategies to access these compounds in an enantioselective manner differ from those used to prepare enantioenriched compounds containing point chirality arising from an unsymmetrically substituted carbon center. In particular stereodynamic transformations, such as dynamic kinetic resolutions, thermodynamic dynamic resolutions, and deracemizations, which rely on the ability to racemize or interconvert enantiomers, are a promising set of transformations to prepare optically pure compounds in the late stage of a synthetic sequence. Translation of these synthetic approaches from compounds with point chirality to atropisomers requires an expanded toolbox for epimerization/racemization and provides an opportunity to develop a new conceptual framework for the enantioselective synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose the highly enantioselective oxidative cross-coupling of 3-hydroxyindole esters with various nucleophilic partners as catalyzed by copper efflux oxidase. The biocatalytic transformation delivers functionalized 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones with excellent optical purity (90-99 % ee), which exhibited anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines, as shown by preliminary biological evaluation. Mechanistic studies and molecular docking results suggest the formation of a phenoxyl radical and enantiocontrol facilitated by a suited enzyme chiral pocket. This study is significant with regard to expanding the catalytic repertoire of natural multicopper oxidases as well as enlarging the synthetic toolbox for sustainable asymmetric oxidative coupling.

Abstract
A tunable coupling or acetylation of phenol derivatives with diacetyl was enabled through the switch of the atmosphere and solvent induced by visible light under metal-free conditions. Symmetric and asymmetric diphenols or binaphthols were obtained under oxygen in water or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol, whereas phenol acetates were formed under argon in the presence of diacetyl and acetic acid. The possibility to control the chemo- and regioselectivities enriches the synthetic versatility of photoreactions.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions involving radical cyclizations can facilitate the synthesis of complex polycyclic systems that find applications in medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis. Here we employ redox-neutral photocatalysis to affect a radical spirocyclization that transforms biaryls into spirocyclic cyclohexadienones under mild reaction conditions. In a departure from previously reported methods, our work demonstrates the polarity mismatched addition of a nucleophilic radical to an electron rich arene, and allows the regioselective synthesis of 2,4- or 2,5-cyclohexadienones with broad functional group tolerance. By transforming biaryls into spirocycles, our methodology accesses underexplored three-dimensional chemical space, and provides an efficient means of creating quaternary spirocenters that we apply to the first synthesis of the cytotoxic plant metabolite denobilone A.

Abstract
Atropisomeric compounds are found extensively as natural products, as ligands for asymmetric transition-metal catalysis, and increasingly as bioactive and pharmaceutically relevant targets. Their enantioselective synthesis is therefore an important ongoing research target. While a vast majority of known atropisomeric structures are (hetero)biaryls, which display hindered rotation around a C-C single bond, our group's long-standing interest in the control of molecular conformation has led to the identification and stereoselective preparation of a variety of other classes of "nonbiaryl" atropisomeric compounds displaying restricted rotation around C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-S single bonds.Biocatalytic transformations are finding increasing application in both academic and industrial contexts as a result of a significant broadening of the range of biocatalytic reactions and sources of enzymes available to the synthetic chemist. In this Account, we summarize the main biocatalytic strategies currently available for the asymmetric synthesis of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and nonbiaryl atropisomers. As is the case with more traditional synthetic approaches to these compounds, most biocatalytic methodologies for the construction of enantioenriched atropisomers follow one of two distinct strategies. The first of these is the direct asymmetric construction of atropisomeric bonds. Synthetically applicable biocatalytic methodologies for this type of transformation are limited, despite the extensive research into the biosynthesis of (hetero)biaryls by oxidative homocoupling or cross-coupling of electron-rich arenes. The second of these is the asymmetric transformation of a molecule in which the bond that will form the axis already exists, and this approach represents the majority of biocatalytic strategies available to the synthetic organic chemist. This strategy encompasses a variety of stereoselective techniques including kinetic resolution (KR), desymmetrization, dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT).Nondynamic kinetic resolution (KR) of conformationally stable biaryl derivatives has provided the earliest and most numerous examples of synthetically useful methodologies for the enantioselective preparation of atropisomeric compounds. Lipases (i.e., enzymes that mediate the formation or hydrolysis of esters) are particularly effective and have attracted broad attention. This success has led researchers to broaden the scope of lipase-mediated transformations to desymmetrization reactions, in addition to a limited number of DKR and DYKAT examples. By contrast, our group has used redox enzymes, including an engineered galactose oxidase (GOase) and commercially available ketoreductases (KREDs), to desymmetrize prochiral atropisomeric diaryl ether and biaryl derivatives. Building on this experience and our long-standing interest in dynamic conformational processes, we later harnessed intramolecular noncovalent interactions to facilitate bond rotation at ambient temperatures, which allowed the development of the efficient DKR of heterobiaryl aldehydes using KREDs. With this Account we provide an overview of the current and prospective biocatalytic strategies available to the synthetic organic chemist for the enantioselective preparation of atropisomeric molecules.

Abstract
Axially chiral compounds with rotationally constrained σ-bonds that exhibit atropisomerism are lucrative synthetic targets because of their ubiquity in functional materials and natural products. The metal complex-catalyzed enantioselective fabrication of axially chiral scaffolds has been widely investigated, and thus far, considerable progress has been made. Over the past two decades, we have developed a highly efficient strategy for constructing axially chiral biarenol derivatives using chiral mono- and dinuclear vanadium complexes. These complexes are readily prepared from vanadium(IV) salts and Schiff base ligands (generated from the condensation of (S)-tert-leucine and di- or monoformyl-(R)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives) under O2 and act as highly active catalysts for highly stereoselective C-C bond formation. In particular, the vanadium complex-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols 1 under oxygen or in air, which is a green oxidant, affords the desired axially chiral molecules in high yields and high stereoselectivity (up to quantitative yield and 97% ee), along with water as the sole coproduct. This coupling reaction tolerated various functional groups (such as halogens, alkoxys, and boryls) and avoided overoxidation of coupling products.The key feature of dinuclear vanadium(V) catalysts such as (Ra,S,S)-5a is an outstanding mode of the homocoupling reaction, in which a single molecule of the catalyst activates two molecules of the starting material (e.g., 2-naphthols) simultaneously. With this "dual activation" mechanism, the oxidative coupling promoted by the dinuclear catalyst proceeds in an intramolecular manner. The homocoupling rate using 5 mol % of the dinuclear vanadium(V) complex (Ra,S,S)-5a was measured to be 111 times faster than that of the mononuclear vanadium(IV) complex (S)-4a bearing a half motif of the dinuclear vanadium complex.In the case of the heterocoupling reaction utilizing two different kinds of arenol derivatives, only a starting arenol having lower oxidation potential seems to be activated by the mononuclear vanadium complex. The reaction rate of the heterocoupling using either mono- or dinuclear vanadium complexes showed no difference to give the coupling product in high yields but with a different enantioselective manner; chiral mononuclear vanadium(V) complexes showed better enantioselectivites than that of the dinuclear vanadium(V) complexes. A competing heterocoupling study and a linear correlation between the ee of the mononucaler vanadium catalyst and ee of the heterocoupling suggested that the heterocoupling involves an intermolecular radical-anion coupling pathway.In this Account, we summarize the recent advances in vanadium-catalyzed coupling reactions that produced important chiral molecules, such as biresorcinols, polycyclic biphenols, oxa[9]helicenes, bihydroxycarbazoles, and C1-symmetrical biarenols, and their coupling reaction mechanisms. By pursuing vanadium catalysis, we believe numerous additional transformations as well as a renewed interest in catalytic and chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective aryl-aryl bond constructions will be manifested.

Abstract
Persistent radicals, which are generated from 2-oxindole or benzofuranone dimers, are useful tools for designing the radical-based cross-coupling reaction to provide molecules containing a quaternary carbon. The persistent radical is accessible from both the dimer and monomer; however, the reactivity difference between these substrates for the oxidative cross-coupling reaction is not fully understood, most likely because of the mechanistic complexity. Here, we present details of an aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction using various monomers and catechols. UV-Vis analysis and mechanistic control experiments showed that the monomer is less reactive than the dimer under aerobic conditions. Our Pd(II)-BINAP-μ-hydroxo complex significantly improved the reactivity of the monomers for the aerobic CDC reaction with catechols, yielding results comparable to those of the corresponding dimer. The procedure, which enables the generation of the persistent radical in situ, is particularly useful when employing the monomer that is not readily converted to the corresponding dimer.

Abstract
The photopromoted, Ni-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation esterification of phenols and aromatic aldehydes has been achieved in an oxidant- and external photosensitizer-free manner. This reliable and atom-economical transformation was tolerant to a wide range of functional groups and proceeded efficiently to give various aryl benzoates in moderate to high yields. Additionally, this photocatalytic system displayed high activity for the hydrogen-evolution cross coupling of aliphatic aldehydes and phenols employing dual nickel and aromatic aldehyde catalysis.

Abstract
![]()
Axial chirality features prominently in molecules of
biological
interest as well as chiral catalyst designs, and atropisomeric 2,2′-biphenols
are particularly prevalent. Atroposelective metal-catalyzed cross-coupling
is an attractive and modular approach to access enantioenriched biphenols,
and yet existing protocols cannot achieve this directly. We address
this challenge through the use of enantiopure, sulfonated SPhos (sSPhos), an existing ligand that has until now been
used only in racemic form and that derives its chirality from an atropisomeric
axis that is introduced through sulfonation. We believe that attractive
noncovalent interactions involving the ligand sulfonate group are
responsible for the high levels of asymmetric induction that we obtain
in the 2,2′-biphenol products of Suzuki–Miyaura coupling,
and we have developed a highly practical resolution of sSPhos via diastereomeric salt recrystallization.
