Abstract
We described the influence of steric hindrance on the 1,4- versus 1,6-Michael addition reaction on 2-(3,3-bis(methylthio)-1-arylallylidene)malononitriles. An efficient and direct synthesis of trisubstituted furans was achieved through the reaction of 2-(3,3-bis(methylthio)-1-arylallylidene)malononitriles and acetone under mild conditions in good to moderate yield by the 1,4-Michael addition. Further exploration of the reaction with a sterically hindered aryl group containing 2-(3,3-bis(methylthio)-1-arylallylidene)malononitriles afforded biaryls by an in situ generated nucleophile through the 1,6-Michael addition. The synthetic utility of furan is further explored. These precursors are easily accessible from aryl methyl ketones. Various functional groups like alkyl, aryl, nitrile, amine, aroyl, and thiomethyl can be directly installed in the benzene and furan rings. A one-pot approach for the construction of a benzene nucleus was also developed. The structure of two compounds was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Cycloaddition reactions play a pivotal role in synthetic chemistry for the direct assembly of cyclic architectures. However, hurdles remain for extending the C4 synthon to construct diverse heterocycles via programmable [4+n]-cycloaddition. Here we report an atom-economic and modular intermolecular cycloaddition using furan-fused cyclobutanones (FCBs) as a versatile C4 synthon. In contrast to the well-documented cycloaddition of benzocyclobutenones, this is a complementary version using FCB as a C4 reagent. It involves a C-C bond activation and cycloaddition sequence, including a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with imines and an Au-catalyzed diastereoselective [4 + 4]-cycloaddition with anthranils. The obtained furan-fused lactams, which are pivotal motifs that present in many natural products, bioactive molecules, and materials, are inaccessible or difficult to prepare by other methods. Preliminary antitumor activity study indicates that 6e and 6 f exhibit high anticancer potency against colon cancer cells (HCT-116, IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.05 μM) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells (KYSE-520, IC50 = 0.89 ± 0.13 μM), respectively.

Abstract
Herein, a novel transition-metal-free thiol-based donor-acceptor organophotocatalyst-assisted, singlet-oxygen-mediated tandem oxidative cyclization for the synthesis of substituted oxazoles in moderate-to-good yields is described. The developed method demonstrates applicability for the synthesis of various substituted quinoxalines in good-to-excellent yields. The metal-free methodology shows a practical route for the synthesis of oxazole and quinoxaline derivatives, which are privileged moieties prevalent in various biologically active compounds and natural products. To the best of our knowledge, both the thiol photocatalyst and synthesis of oxazoles by visible-light irradiation are reported for the first time.

Abstract
Covering: 1998 up to the end of 2023Since its initial disclosure in 1951, the Kornblum DeLaMare rearrangement has proved an important synthetic transformation and has been widely adopted as a biomimetic step in natural product synthesis. Utilising the base catalysed decomposition of alkyl peroxides to yield a ketone and alcohol has found use in many syntheses as well as a key strategic step, including the unmasking of furans, as a biomimetic synthetic tool, and the use of the rearrangement to install oxygen enantioselectively. Since ca. 1998, its impact as a synthetic transformation has grown significantly, especially given the frequency of use in natural product syntheses, therefore this 25 year time period will be the focus of the review.

Abstract
Natural sesquiterpenoid lactones are prominent scaffolds in drug discovery. Despite the progress made in their synthesis, their extensive oxidative decoration makes their chemo- and stereoselective syntheses highly challenging. Herein, we report our effort to mimic part of the oxidase phase used in the costunolide pathway to achieve the protecting-group-free total synthesis of santamarine, dehydrocostus lactone, estafiatin, and nine more related natural sesquiterpenoid lactones by using dioxygen as the sole oxidant.

Abstract
We report a one-step approach for the conversion of β-enaminonitriles to synthetically versatile α-keto amides in moderate to high yields under visible light irradiation photosensitized by porphyrins. The method is mild, cost-effective, and sustainable and requires air as the sole reagent/oxidant. The reaction is believed to proceed via an ene-type pathway initiated by 1O2, followed by dehydration, imine hydrolysis, and subsequent nucleophilic substitution of the cyanide group by amine. The method offers a broad substrate scope and has also been extended for synthesis of α-keto esters with aliphatic alcohols as nucleophiles. The porphyrin recovered after the reaction can be reused multiple times.

Abstract
A density functional theoretical (DFT) study is presented, implicating a 1 O2 oxidation process to reach a dihydrobenzofuran from the reaction of the natural homoallylic alcohol, glycocitrine. Our results predict an interconversion between glycocitrine and an iso-hydroperoxide intermediate [R(H)O+ -O- ] that provides a key path in the chemistry which then follows. Formations of allylic hydroperoxides are unlikely from a 1 O2 'ene' reaction. Instead, the dihydrobenzofuran arises by 1 O2 oxidation facilitated by a 16° curvature of the glycocitrine ring imposed by a pyramidal N-methyl group. This curvature facilitates the formation of the iso-hydroperoxide, which is analogous to the iso species CH2 I+ -I- and CHI2 + -I- formed by UV photolysis of CH2 I2 and CHI3 . The iso-hydroperoxide is also structurally reminiscent of carbonyl oxides (R2 C=O+ -O- ) formed in the reaction of carbenes and oxygen. Our DFT results point to intermolecular process, in which the iso-hydroperoxide's fate relates to O-transfer and H2 O dehydration reactions for new insight into the biosynthesis of dihydrobenzofuran natural products.

Abstract
Herein, we report a ligand-controlled palladium-catalyzed method that enables the synthesis of ynones and γ-butenolides with excellent regioselectivity from the same set of readily available aryl iodides, aryl acetylenes, and BrCF2CO2K. In this reaction, the [PdII]═CF2 does demonstrate electrophilicity and can generate CO readily when reacting with H2O. It is environmentally friendly and safe compared to traditional methods, and the current protocol enables us to afford ynones and γ-butenolides in high yields with excellent functionality tolerance. Moreover, esters can also be obtained with corresponding phenols and alcohols utilizing this strategy. The success of late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds further illustrates the synthetic utility of this protocol in material development and drug discovery.

Abstract
With the purpose of incorporating sustainability in chemical processes, there has been a renewed focus on utilizing earth-abundant metal catalysts to expand the repertoire of organic reactions and processes. In this work, we have explored the atom-economic oxidative coupling between two important electron-rich heterocycles - indoles and furans - using commonly available, inexpensive metal catalyst CuCl2·2H2O (<0.25$ per g) to develop an expeditious synthesis of indolyl-furans. Moreover, the reaction proceeded well in the presence of the so-called 'ultimate oxidant' - air, without the need for any external ligand or additive. The reaction was found to be scalable and to work even under partially aqueous conditions. This makes the methodology highly economical, practical, operationally simple and sustainable. In addition, the methodology provides direct access to novel indole-furan-thiophene (IFT)-based electron-rich π-conjugated systems, which show green-yellow fluorescence with large Stokes shift and high quantum yields. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the reaction proceeds through chemoselective oxidation of indole by the metal catalyst followed by the nucleophilic attack by furan.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) mediated photo-oxidations are important reactions involved in numerous processes in chemical and biological sciences. While most of the current research works have aimed at improving the efficiencies of these transformations either by increasing 1O2 quantum yields or by enhancing its lifetime, we establish herein that immobilization of a molecular photosensitizer onto silica surfaces affords significant, substrate dependant, enhancement in the reactivity of 1O2. Probing a classical model reaction (oxidation of Anthracene-9, 10-dipropionic acid, ADPA or dimethylanthracene, DMA) with various spectrofluorimetric techniques, it is here proposed that an interaction between polar substrates and the silica surface is responsible for the observed phenomenon. This discovery could have a direct impact on the design of future photosensitized 1O2 processes in various applications ranging from organic photochemistry to photobiology.

Abstract
In organic chemistry, selecting mild conditions for transformations and saving energy are increasingly important for achieving sustainable development goals. Herein, we describe a red-light-mediated Barton decarboxylation using readily available red-light-emitting diodes as the energy source and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin as the catalyst, avoiding explosive or hazardous reagents or external heating. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction probably proceeds via Dexter energy transfer between the activated catalyst and the Barton ester. Furthermore, a one-pot wavelength-selective reaction within the visible light range is developed in combination with a blue-light-mediated photoredox reaction, demonstrating the compatibility of two photochemical transformations based on mechanistic differences. This one-pot process expands the limits of the decarboxylative Giese reaction beyond polarity matching.

Abstract
1,2,6-Thiadiazines treated with visible light and 3O2 under ambient conditions are converted into difficult-to-access 1,2,5-thiadiazole 1-oxides (35 examples, yields of 39-100%). Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that 1,2,6-thiadiazines act as triplet photosensitizers that produce 1O2 and then undergo a chemoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition to give an endoperoxide that ring contracts with selective carbon atom excision and complete atom economy. The reaction was optimized under both batch and continuous-flow conditions and is also efficient in green solvents.

Abstract
1,n-dicarbonyls are one of the most fascinating chemical feedstocks finding abundant usage in the field of pharmaceuticals. Besides, they are utilized in a plethora of synthesis in general synthetic organic chemistry. A number of 'conventional' methods are available for their synthesis, such as the Stetter reaction, Baker-Venkatraman rearrangement, oxidation of vicinal diols, and oxidation of deoxybenzoins, synonymous with unfriendly reagents and conditions. In the last 15 years or so, photocatalysis has taken the world of synthetic organic chemistry by a remarkable renaissance. It is fair to say now that everybody loves the light and photoredox chemistry has opened a new gateway to organic chemists towards milder, more simpler alternatives to the previously available methods, allowing access to many sensitive reactions and products. In this review, we present the readers with the photochemical synthesis of a variety of 1,n-dicarbonyls. Diverse photocatalytic pathways to these fascinating molecules have been discussed, placing special emphasis on the mechanisms, giving the reader an opportunity to find all these significant developments in one place.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling between electronic states of different multiplicity can be strongly coupled to molecular vibrations, and this interaction is becoming recognized as an important mechanism for controlling the course of photochemical reactions. Here, we show that the involvement of spin-vibronic coupling is essential for understanding the photophysics and photochemistry of heptamethine cyanines (Cy7), bearing iodine as a heavy atom in the C3' position of the chain and/or a 3H-indolium core, as potential triplet sensitizers and singlet oxygen producers in methanol and aqueous solutions. The sensitization efficiency was found to be an order of magnitude higher for the chain-substituted than the 3H-indolium core-substituted derivatives. Our ab initio calculations demonstrate that while all optimal structures of Cy7 are characterized by negligible spin-orbit coupling (tenths of cm-1) with no dependence on the position of the substituent, molecular vibrations lead to its significant increase (tens of cm-1 for the chain-substituted cyanines), which allowed us to interpret the observed position dependence.

Abstract
Photooxygenation reactions of electron-deficient enaminoesters bearing an oxophilic silyl tether at the α-position of the nitrogen atom using methylene blue (MB) were explored to develop a mild and efficient photochemical strategy for oxidative C-C double bond cleavage reactions via singlet oxygen (1O2). Photochemically generated 1O2, through energy transfer from the triplet excited state of MB (3MB*) to molecular oxygen (3O2), was added across a C-C double bond moiety of enaminoesters to form perepoxides, which rearranged to form dioxetane intermediates. The cycloreversion of the formed dioxetane via both C-C and O-O bond cleavage processes led to the formation of oxamates. Importantly, contrary to alkyl group tether-substituted electron-deficient enaminoesters that typically disfavor photooxygenation, the silyl tether-substituted analogues undergo this photochemical transformation efficiently with the assistance of a silyl tether, which facilitates formation of the perepoxide. The observations in this study provide useful information about photosensitized oxygenation reactions of unsaturated C-C bonds, and, moreover, this photochemical strategy can be utilized as a mild and feasible method for the preparation of diversely functionalized carbonyl compounds including oxamates.

Abstract
High value oxygenated polycycles have been rapidly and efficiently accessed from simple precursors in one pot processes. The reported methodology relies on a new and mild method for butenolide synthesis mediated by thiols. The initial photooxygenation and butenolide synthesis have been merged with subsequent photoredox reactions to achieve rare dual-photocatalyst cascades affording various fused butyrolactones. Ground state Lewis acid activity for methylene blue has been unveiled and then exploited in the synthesis of substituted cyclopentanones.

Abstract
By the introduction of the −tBu groups into aza-BODIPY core, di-tert-butyl-substituted aza-BODIPYs at 3,5-sites (tBuazaBDPs) were prepared for the first time. Based on the X-ray analysis of CN-tBuazaBDP, this molecular structure is twisted. Near-infrared dye SMe-tBuazaBDP has the ultra-large Stokes shift (152 nm) in aza-BODIPY system, combining with the twisted intramolecular charge transfer and the free rotation of the −tBu groups at 3,5-sites. Although the barrier-free rotors of the distal −tBu groups in SMe-tBuazaBDP result in low fluorescence quantum yield, the photothermal conversion efficiency is markedly enhanced. SMe-tBuazaBDP nanoparticles with low power laser irradiation were proven to block cancer cell cycle, inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and induce cancer cell apoptosis in photothermal therapy (PTT). The strategy of “direct attachment of −tBu groups to aza-BODIPY core” gives a new design platform for a photothermal therapy agent. Di-tert-butyl-substituted aza-BODIPYs at 3,5-sites (tBuazaBDPs) were prepared for the first time. Near-infrared dye SMe-tBuazaBDP has the ultra-large Stokes shift (152 nm) in aza-BODIPY system. SMe-tBuazaBDP nanoparticles can photothermally induce apoptosis as a potential photothermal therapy agent.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2)-mediated oxidation represents an attractive strategy for incorporation of oxygen atoms from air under mild and environmentally benign conditions. However, the 1O2 reaction with enamine suffers from fragmentation, leading to very unsuccessful transformation. Here, Lewis acid is introduced to intercept [2 + 2] or "ene" reaction intermediates of the 1O2 reaction and enables oxidative dimerization of enamines to produce pyrrolin-4-ones in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies reveal the formation of the imino ketone intermediate from the interaction of 1O2 and enamine, which is able to interact with Lewis acid, relaying the 1O2 reaction in enamine chemistry. For the first time, selective cross-dimerization of two different enamines is achieved. Due to the advantages of mild conditions, high chemoselectivity, and up to 99% yield, a promising strategy has been developed for synthesizing aza-heterocycles under ambient conditions, which can be further applied for the synthesis of imidazolone, quinoxaline, and highly functionalized imine.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species have drawn attention owing to their strong oxidation ability. In particular, the singlet oxygen (1O2) produced by energy transfer is the predominant species for controlling oxidation reactions efficiently. However, conventional 1O2 generators, which rely on enhanced energy transfer, frequently suffer from poor solubility, low stability, and low biocompatibility. Herein, we introduce a hyperbranched aliphatic polyaminoglycerol (hPAG) as a 1O2 generator, which relies on spin-flip-based electron transfer. The coexistence of a lone pair electron on the nitrogen atom and a hydrogen-bonding donor (the protonated form of nitrogen and hydroxyl group) affords proximity between hPAG and O2. Subsequent direct electron transfer after photo-irradiation induces hPAG•+-O2 •- formation, and the following spin-flip process generates 1O2. The spin-flip-based electron transfer pathway is analyzed by a series of photophysical, electrochemical, and computational studies. The 1O2 generator, hPAG, is successfully employed in photodynamic therapy and as an antimicrobial reagent.

Abstract
This work showcases an unprecedented Au(III)-catalyzed cascade cyclization of 2-(4-hydroxyalkynyl)benzoates to access benzannulated [5,5]-oxaspirolactones related to biologically active natural products. This reaction proceeds through an initial 5-endo-dig mode of hydroalkoxylation of the alkynol segment to give the oxocarbenium species (via cyclic enol-ether) followed by the addition of carboxylate onto the oxocarbenium that delivers the oxaspirolactone scaffold. While testing this method's scope, we found that the steric and electronic environment of the hydroxyl group could alter the reaction pathway that delivers isochromenone through a competitive 6-endo-dig mode of attack of the carboxylate onto the tethered alkyne.

Abstract
The discovery of a multiple-bond-forming process merging the singlet oxygen-mediated dearomatization of 3,4-disubstitued phenols and diastereo- and regioselective epoxidation is described. This one-pot strategy using a transition metal-free multicatalytic system comprised of rose bengal and cesium carbonate allowed the efficient formation of functionalized epoxyquinol products under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations have been performed to shed the light on the key species involved in this transformation.

Abstract
A new class of phosphorus-containing 1,3-dipoles can be generated by the multicomponent reaction of aldehydes, acid chlorides and the phosphonite PhP(catechyl). These 1,3-dipoles are formally cyclic tautomers of simple Wittig-type ylides, where the angle strain and moderate nucleophilicity in the catechyl-phosphonite favor their cyclization and also direct 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to afford single regioisomers of substituted products. Coupling the generation of the dipoles with 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition offers a unique, modular route to furans from combinations of available aldehydes, acid chlorides and alkynes with independent control of all four substituents.

Abstract
Massarinolin A and purpurolides are bioactive bergamotane sesquiterpenes condensed with a variety of synthetically challenging ring systems: a bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, an oxaspiro[3.4]octane, and a dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane (oxaspirolactone). Herein, we report the first enantioselective total syntheses of massarinolin A, purpurolides B, D, E, and 2,3-deoxypurpurolide C. Our synthesis and computational analysis also led to a structural revision of massarinolin A. The divergent approach features an enantioselective organocatalyzed Diels-Alder reaction to install the first stereogenic center in high ee, a scalable flow photochemical Wolff rearrangement to build the key bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, a furan oxidative cyclization to form the oxaspirolactone, a late-stage allylic C-H oxidation, and a Myers' NBSH-promoted sigmatropic elimination to install the exo methylene group of massarinolin A.

Abstract
We report a highly efficient and selective catalytic system, ABNO (9-azabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonane N-oxyl)/HNO3, for the aerobic oxidation of substituted furans to cis-2-ene-1,4-diones under mild reaction conditions using oxygen as the oxidant. The catalyst system is amenable to various substituted (mon-, di-, and tri-) furans and tolerates diverse functional groups, including cyano, nitro, naphthyl, ketone, ester, heterocycle, and even formyl groups. Based on the control and 18O-labeling experiments, the possible mechanism of the oxidation is proposed.

New Cy5 photosensitizers for cancer phototherapy: a low singlet-triplet gap provides high quantum yield of singlet oxygen. Chem Sci 2021; 12:13809-13816.

Abstract
Highly efficient triplet photosensitizers (PSs) have attracted increasing attention in cancer photodynamic therapy where photo-induced reactive oxygen species (ROSs, such as singlet oxygen) are produced via singlet–triplet intersystem crossing (ISC) of the excited photosensitizer to kill cancer cells. However, most PSs exhibit the fatal defect of a generally less-than-1% efficiency of ISC and low yield of ROSs, and this defect strongly impedes their clinical application. In the current work, a new strategy to enhance the ISC and high phototherapy efficiency has been developed, based on the molecular design of a thio-pentamethine cyanine dye (TCy5) as a photosensitizer. The introduction of an electron-withdrawing group at the meso-position of TCy5 could dramatically reduce the singlet–triplet energy gap (ΔEst) value (from 0.63 eV to as low as 0.14 eV), speed up the ISC process (τISC = 1.7 ps), prolong the lifetime of the triplet state (τT = 319 μs) and improve singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield to as high as 99%, a value much higher than those of most reported triplet PSs. Further in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that TCy5-CHO, with its efficient 1O2 generation and good biocompatibility, causes an intense tumor ablation in mice. This provides a new strategy for designing ideal PSs for cancer photo-therapy. The electron-withdrawing group at the meso-position of Thio-Cy5 could dramatically reduce the singlet–triplet energy gap, and speed up the intersystem crossing process.![]()

Abstract
Herein we report a cascade cocatalysis strategy for the facile construction of chiral γ,γ-disubstituted butenolides. The synthetic manifold employs simple alkynoic acids instead of the preformed silyloxy furans or 5-substituted furan-2(3H)-ones. In situ formed 5-substituted furan-2(3H)-ones by AgNO3 or Ph3PAuCl/AgOTf catalyzed cyclization of alkynoic acids can smoothly engage in the subsequent chiral diphenylprolinol TMS-ether catalyzed Michael and Michael-aldol reactions. The cascade process serves as a general approach to chiral quaternary γ,γ-disubstituted butenolides.

Abstract
γ-Butenolides are fundamental frameworks found in many naturally occurring compounds, and they exhibit tremendous biological activities. γ-Butenolides also have proven their potential as useful synthetic intermediates in the total synthesis of natural compounds. Over the years, many γ-butenolide natural products have been isolated, having exocyclic γ-δ unsaturation in their structure. These natural products are collectively referred to as γ-alkylidenebutenolides. Considering the different biological profiles and wide-ranging structural diversity of the optically active γ-butenolide, the development of synthetic strategies for assembling such challenging scaffolds has attracted significant attention from synthetic chemists in recent times. In this report, a brief discussion will be provided to address isolation, biogenesis, and current state-of-the-art synthetic protocols for such molecules. This report aims to focus on synthetic strategies for γ-butenolides from 2010-2020 with a particular emphasis on γ-alkylidenebutenolides and related molecules. Metal-mediated catalytic transformation and organocatalysis are the two main reaction types that have been widely used to access such molecules. Mechanistic considerations, enantioselective synthesis, and practical applications of the reported procedures are also taken into consideration.

Abstract
A one-pot three-component reaction of several 2-ketoaldehydes, secondary amines and terminal alkynes to access 3-aminofurans proceeded well in [bmim][PF6] using a simple and cheap CuI catalyst. The resultant 3-aminofuran products were easily isolated using diethyl ether and the CuI/[bmim][PF6] system was reused six times with a slight decrease in the activity.

Abstract
This review article refers to the discovery of excited molecular oxygen, in particular on its lower singlet excited state (1 Δg , 1 O2 ). After a short report on singlet oxygen generation, the review is focused on the chemistry of this reactive species. Specifically, the three major reactions of 1 O2 with unsaturated organic substrates, namely the [4 + 2] and [2 +2] cycloadditions as well as the ene reaction, are reviewed. The proposed mechanisms of these reactions, through the years, based on experimental and computational work, have been presented. Selected examples of singlet oxygen-synthetic applications are also mentioned. The [60]fullerene and fullereno-materials photosensitized oxidations in homogeneous, as well as in heterogeneous conditions, are also comprehensively discussed. Finally, the self-sensitized photooxidation of open cage fullerenes as well as fullerenes bearing oxidizable groups is reported.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions have been extensively studied in the context of the transformations of biomass-derived furans. However, in contrast to the vast literature on utilizing the stoichiometric oxidants, such as m-CPBA and NBS, catalytic methods for the oxidative furan-recyclizations remain scarcely investigated. Given this, we report a means of manganese-catalyzed oxidations of furan with low loading, achieving the Achmatowicz rearrangement in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant under mild conditions with wide functional group compatibility.

Abstract
Herein, we disclosed a highly efficient strategy of enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-furan-fused carbocycles bearing three-contiguous stereocenters. This transformation is catalyzed by dual catalysis of PtCl4/chiral amines via tandem dehydrogenative annulation/Diels-Alder reaction of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and enals. The in situ generation of the furan-based ortho-quinodimethane intermediates and the iminium activation of enals are crucial to this transformation.

Abstract
The common, key tricyclic core of stemona alkaloids parvistemonine (1) and parvistemoline (2), whose synthetic efforts have not reported yet, was constructed through a new strategy in which three contiguous stereogenic centers were set by using Carreira's asymmetric Ir/amine-catalyzed allylation of aldehyde with α-vinylfurfuryl alcohol and Ellman's sulfinamide chiral auxiliary, respectively. The furan ring was especially designed to act as the precursor of the butyrolactone while establishing the significant chirality.

Abstract
Design and development of a domino cyclative approach for the synthesis of new polycyclic γ-butenolides from β-aryl-Z-enoate propargylic alcohols, through the interception of an intermediate of the Z-enoate-assisted Meyer-Schuster rearrangement, has been reported. A systematic NMR analysis of various derivatives of this class revealed and supported the potential atropisomerism associated with them. These molecules represent first examples of butenolide ring-based atropisomeric compounds in organic chemistry. The synthetic process involves a synchronous construction of both rings with concurrent creation of the potential stereogenic rotational axis.

Each of the sequences developed makes use of photocatalyzed energy transfer processes, which generate singlet oxygen, to set up the substrates for the second photocatalyzed reaction, wherein electron transfer generates carbon-centered radicals for the cyclizations that give the final complex frameworks. A chemical switch has been developed that can "switch off" one photocatalyst; thus, allowing a second photocatalyst to take over control of the sequence. As a corollary, this strategy represents the first time it has been possible to use multiple photocatalysts in photocascades, and, as such, it expands significantly the reactions that can be included in such cascades and the order in which they can be initiated.

Abstract
A concise and diastereoselective construction of the ABCD ring system of spirochensilide A is described. The key steps of this synthesis are a semipinacol rearrangement reaction to stereoselectively construct the AB ring system bearing two vicinal quaternary chiral centers and a Co-mediated Pauson-Khand reaction to form the spiro-based bicyclic CD ring system. This chemistry leads to the stereoselective synthesis of 13(R)-demethyl spirochensilide A, paving the way for the first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-spirochensilide A.

Abstract
The final phase of the total synthesis of (-)-spirochensilide A is described. A tungsten-mediated cyclopropene-based Pauson-Khand reaction was developed to form the spiral CD ring system with desired stereochemistry at the C13 quaternary center. Other important steps enabling completion of this synthesis included an intermolecular aldol condensation to link the ABCD core with the EF fragment and a Cu-mediated 1,4-addition to stereoselectively install the C21 stereogenic center. The chemistry developed for this total synthesis of (-)-spirochensilide A (1) will aid the synthesis of polycyclic natural products bearing this unique spiral ring system.

Abstract
"Total synthesis endeavors provide wonderful opportunities to discover and invent new synthetic reactions as a means to advance organic synthesis in general. Such discoveries and inventions can occur when the practitioner faces intransigent problems that cannot be solved by known methods and/or when method improvements are desired in terms of elegance, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, practicality, or environmental friendliness" (K. C. Nicolaou et al. from their review in CCS Chem. 2019, 1, 3-37). To date tens of thousands of bioactive compounds have been isolated from plants, microbes, marine invertebrates, and other sources. These chemical structures have been studied by chemists who scanned the breadth of natural diversity toward drug discovery efforts. Drug-likeness of natural products often possesses common features including molecular complexity, protein-binding ability, structural rigidity, and three-dimensionality. Considering certain biologically important natural products are scarce from natural supply, total synthesis may provide an alternative solution to generating these compounds and their derivatives for the purpose of probing their biological functions. Natural products bearing quaternary carbon stereocenters represent a group of biologically important natural entities that are lead compounds in the development of pharmacological agents and biological probes. However, the stereocontrolled introduction of quaternary carbons, with vicinal patterns that substantially expand the complexity of molecular architectures and chemical space in particular, presents distinct challenges because of the high steric repulsion between substituents. Though remarkable advance has been seen for quaternary carbon stereocenter generation, the process remains a daunting challenge given that the formation of highly congested stereocenters increases the difficulty in achieving orbital overlap.In the past two decades, our group has initiated a program to develop synthetic strategies and methods with the aim of advancing the frontiers of the total syntheses of biologically important complex natural products bearing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers. Typical endeavors have involved the use of a Pauson-Khand (PK) reaction as a key step in constructing core structures with all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center(s), with the aid of well-orchestrated thiourea-Co- and thiourea-Pd-catalyzed PK reactions. These methodological advances have enabled us to achieve total syntheses of a series of topologically complex natural products with diverse structural features. These methods will enable the assembly of molecules with improved biological functions and provide tool compounds for elucidation of mechanism of action or identification of potential cellular targets.

Abstract
The first highly enantioselective intermolecular Stetter reaction using simple enones is reported. A series of novel chiral BAC structures were designed and prepared. They were tested in the Stetter reaction with simple aldehydes and enones. The products were generated in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). Surprisingly, a substoichiometric amount of water was crucial to obtain high enantioselectivities. Chiral BACs were also shown to catalyze 1,6-conjugate addition reactions with paraquinone methides enantioselectively.
