Abstract
Covering: 2011 to 2022The natural world is a prolific source of some of the most interesting, rare, and complex molecules known, harnessing sophisticated biosynthetic machinery evolved over billions of years for their production. Many of these natural products represent high-value targets of total synthesis, either for their desirable biological activities or for their beautiful structures outright; yet, the high sp3-character often present in nature's molecules imparts significant topological complexity that pushes the limits of contemporary synthetic technology. Dearomatization is a foundational strategy for generating such intricacy from simple materials that has undergone considerable maturation in recent years. This review highlights the recent achievements in the field of dearomative methodology, with a focus on natural product total synthesis and retrosynthetic analysis. Disconnection guidelines and a three-phase dearomative logic are described, and a spotlight is given to nature's use of dearomatization in the biosynthesis of various classes of natural products. Synthetic studies from 2011 to 2021 are reviewed, and 425 references are cited.

Abstract
Iron-catalyzed oxidative synthesis of N-aryl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) toward tetrahydroisoquinoline-based derivatives is reported. A wide range of α-amino nitriles and tetrahydroisoquinolinones are synthesized in moderate to good yields. This approach involves a new organic nitrile source, a cheap iron catalyst under an oxygen atmosphere, and temperature-controlled divergent synthesis and features complete selectivity and operational simplicity.

Potent Antibiotic Lemonomycin: A Glimpse of Its Discovery, Origin, and Chemical Synthesis. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27134324.

Abstract
Lemonomycin (1) was first isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces candidus in 1964. The complete chemical structure was not elucidated until 2000 with extensive spectroscopic analysis. Lemonomycin is currently known as the only glycosylated tetrahydroisoquinoline antibiotic. Its potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and complex architecture make it an ideal target for total synthesis. In this short review, we summarize the research status of lemonomycin for biological activity, biosynthesis, and chemical synthesis. The unique deoxy aminosugar-lemonose was proposed to play a crucial role in biological activity, as shown in other antibiotics, such as arimetamycin A, nocathiacin I, glycothiohexide α, and thiazamycins. Given the self-resistance of the original bacterial host, the integration of biosynthesis and chemical synthesis to pursue efficient synthesis and further derivatization is in high demand for the development of novel antibiotics to combat antibiotic-resistant infections.

Abstract
The biologically active, naturally occurring 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-quinone (THIQ) family members isolated from Actinomycetes and marine organisms have been studied thoroughly over the past five decades. Among them, marine natural products along with their reduced compounds, such as renieramycins and ecteinascidins, have attracted interest due to their fantastic structures and meager availability in nature as well as their potent antitumor profiles. As part of our search for new anticancer metabolites through the isolation and characterization of anticancer THIQ compounds from Thai marine animals, we have developed a fascinating THIQ natural product chemistry and medicinal chemistry based on knowledge of the chemistry of saframycin antibiotics as well as their isolation, characterization, transformation, partial synthesis, and total synthesis. This review mainly presents our contributions during 1999-2019 to the field of research on biologically active renieramycin along with ecteinascidin marine natural products.

Abstract
An electron donor-acceptor complex-initiated α-cyanation of tertiary amines has been described. The reaction protocol provides a novel method to synthesize various α-amino nitriles under mild conditions. The reaction can proceed smoothly without the presence of photocatalysts and transition metal catalysts, and either oxidants are unnecessary or O2 is the only oxidant. The practicality of this method is showcased not only by the late-stage functionalization of natural alkaloid derivatives and pharmaceutical intermediate, but also by the applicability of a stop-flow microtubing reactor.

Abstract
Marine natural products are known for their diverse chemical structures and extensive bioactivities. Renieramycins, the member of tetrahydroisoquinoline family of marine natural products, arouse interests because of their strong antitumor activities and similar structures to the first marine antitumor agent ecteinascidin-743, approved by the European Union. According to the literatures, researches on the pharmacological activities of renieramycins mainly focus on their antitumor activities. In addition, by structural modification, derivatives of renieramycins show stronger antiproliferative activity and less accidental necrosis activity on cells. Nevertheless, the difficulties in extraction and separation hinder their further development. Hence, the synthetic chemistry work of renieramycins plays a key role in their further development. In this review, currently reported researches on the synthetic chemistry, pharmacological activities and structural modification of renieramycins are summarized, which will benefit future drug development and innovation.

Abstract
A formal total synthesis of the antitumor marine natural product (rac)-renieramycin T, which possesses a characteristic ecteinascidin-type A ring in the renieramycin-saframycin core skeleton, was elaborated. The key steps in the synthesis of (rac)-renieramycin T are a modified Pictet-Spengler cyclization of dialkylated oxomalonate derivatives and decarboxylation via a monocarboxylic acid derivative followed by stereocontrolled protonation of the enol intermediate. A key intermediate in our previous synthesis of renieramycin T was used, and the formal synthesis was accomplished in 21 steps from a known piperazine-2,5-dione derivative.

Abstract
Three renieramycin-type antitumor alkaloids, (-)-jorunnamycins A (1) and C (2) and (-)-jorumycin (3), have been synthesized by a new convergent approach, which features a highly regio- and stereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclization to couple the isoquinoline and the trisubstituted phenylalaninol partners. This synthetic strategy opens an economical access to these important antitumor alkaloids with high yields: (-)-jorunnamycin A, as a common precursor to other renieramycin-type alkaloids and their analogues, is obtained with 18.1% overall yield from l-tyrosine.

Abstract
Saframycins, safracins, renieramycins, cribrostatins, and esteinascidins are 6,15-iminoisoquino[3,2-b]3-benzazocine compounds that constitute the largest subgroup among the antitumor antibiotics belonging to the tetrahydroisoquinoline family. Their structural complexity has led to widespread synthetic attention to obtain them in both racemic and enantiopure forms. Publication in 1996 of the first total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 by Corey's group was an important milestone, but the development of preparative protocols for these structures has continued, offering new possibilities to exploit the biological activity of the above-mentioned natural products and their analogues. This minireview is intended to update this progress following a methodological rather than a chronological organization. Besides of a brief description of the different strategies evolved from retrosynthetic analyses, which have been organized according to the order of bonding events that will link the precursors, semisynthetic approaches and a brief account of the total syntheses of ecteinascidin 743, have been analyzed.

Abstract
The semisynthetic process initially described for the synthesis of 1 (ET-743) has been extended to the preparation of other natural ecteinascidins. For the synthesis of 2 (ET-729) a demethylation of a N-Me intermediate was carried out by a selective oxidation with MCPBA. Other natural ecteinascidins (ET-745, ET-759B, ET-736, ET-637, ET-594) were accessible from key intermediate 25. The described methodologies allow for the preparation of a wide variety of ecteinascidins by procedures that can be easily scaled up.

Abstract
[formula: see text] A short synthesis of saframycin A is described which begins with a readily available intermediate previously utilized for the total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743. A key step in this synthesis is the use of 1-fluoro-3,5-dichloropyridinium triflate to oxidize a phenolic ring to a 1,4-benzoquinone unit while simultaneously cleaving a methoxymethyl ether of a different phenolic ring to the corresponding phenol (4-->5). The common intermediate (2) for the synthesis of saframycin A (1) and ecteinascidin 743 also allowed the synthesis of two hybrids of these structures (6 and 7). Whole cell bioassays for antitumor activity using lung, colon, melanoma, and prostate-derived tumor cell lines allowed a clear correlation of structure with biological activity in this series.
