Abstract
Development of environmentally benign catalyst systems, especially those derived from readily available nature's pool, in multicomponent synthesis, consolidates multiple facets of green chemistry. Here, an L-proline derived green acid catalyst in the form of L-proline⋅H2SO4 was developed and employed for multicomponent synthesis of coumarin-based spiroindolino-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones from the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin, isatin and urea/thiourea. Preliminary cytotoxicity studies showed that a couple of compounds (M5 and M6) have good cytotoxicity (40-50%) against in Dalton's Lymphoma (DL) cells while demonstrating minimal cytotoxicity (10-12%) for normal non-cancerous cell lines. Molecular docking simulations for the least and most cytotoxic compounds, M3 and M6 respectively, against nineteen tumor target proteins were carried out, and seven of them were identified to test against all the sixteen compounds. Based on the estimated docking score and inhibition constants (Ki), the interaction of the compounds with the tumor target protein, beta-hexosaminidase B (PDB ID: 1NOW) matched closely with in vitro cytotoxicity data.

Abstract
Here we report a concise and divergent synthesis of scabrolide A and havellockate, representative members of polycyclic marine natural product furano(nor)cembranoids. The synthesis features a highly efficient exo-exo-endo radical cascade. Through the generation of two rings, three C-C bonds, and three contiguous stereocenters in one step, this remarkable transformation not only assembles the bowl-shaped, common 6-5-5 fused ring system from simple building blocks but also precisely installs the functionalities at desired positions and sets the stage for further divergent preparation of both target molecules. Further studies reveal that the robust and unusual 6-endo radical addition in the cascade is likely facilitated by the rigidity of the substrate.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the advent of C-H activation has led to a rethink among chemists about the synthetic strategies employed for multi-step transformations. Indeed, deploying innovative and masterful tricks against the numerous classical organic transformations has been the need of the hour. Despite this, the immense importance of C-H activation remains unfulfilled unless the methodology can be deployed for large-scale industrial processes and towards the concise, step-economic synthesis of prodigious natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Lately, the growing potential of C-H activation methodology has indeed driven the pioneers of synthetic organic chemists into finding more efficient methods to accelerate the synthesis of such complex molecular scaffolds. This review aims to draw a general overview of the various C-H activation procedures that have been adopted for synthesizing these vast majority of structurally complicated natural products. Our objective lies in drawing a complete picture and taking the readers through the synthesis of a series of such complex organic compounds by simplified techniques, making it step-economic on a larger scale and thus instigating the readers to trigger the use of such methodology and uncover new, unique patterns for future synthesis of such natural products.

Abstract
We report a concise approach to phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, wherein strained azacyclic alkynes are intercepted in Pd-catalyzed annulations. Two types of strained intermediates were evaluated: a functionalized piperidyne and a new strained intermediate, an indolizidyne. We show that each can be employed, ultimately allowing access to three natural products: tylophorine, tylocrebine, and isotylocrebine. These efforts demonstrate the successful merger of strained azacyclic alkyne chemistry with transition-metal catalysis for the construction of complex heterocycles.

Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
Covering: 1984 up to the end of 2020Hapalindoles, fischerindoles, ambiguines and welwitindolinones are all members of a class of indole alkaloid natural products that have been isolated from the Stigonematales order of cyanobacteria. These compounds possess a polycyclic ring system, unique functional groups and various stereo- and regiochemical isomers. Since their initial isolation in 1984, they have been explored as potential therapeutics due to their wide variety of biological activities. Although numerous groups have pursued total syntheses of these densely functionalized structures, hapalindole biosynthesis has only recently been unveiled. Several groups have uncovered a wide range of novel enzymes that catalyze formation and tailoring of the hapalindole-type metabolites. In this article, we provide an overview of these natural products, their biological activities, highlight general synthetic routes, and provide an extensive review on the surprising biosynthetic processes leading to these structurally diverse metabolites.

Abstract
Hapalindoles and related compounds (ambiguines, fischerindoles, welwitindolinones) are a diverse class of indole alkaloid natural products. They are typically isolated from the Stigonemataceae order of cyanobacteria and possess a broad scope of biological activities. Recently the biosynthetic pathway for assembly of these metabolites has been elucidated. In order to generate the core ring system, L-tryptophan is converted into the cis-indole isonitrile subunit before being prenylated with geranyl pyrophosphate at the C-3 position. A class of cyclases (Stig) catalyzes a three-step process including a Cope rearrangement, 6-exo-trig cyclization and electrophilic aromatic substitution to create a polycyclic core. Formation of the initial alkaloid is followed by diverse late-stage tailoring reactions mediated by additional biosynthetic enzymes to give rise to the wide array of structural variations observed in this compound class. Herein, we demonstrate the versatility and utility of the Fam prenyltransferase and Stig cyclases toward core structural diversification of this family of indole alkaloids. Through synthesis of cis-indole isonitrile subunit derivatives, and aided by protein engineering and computational analysis, we have employed cascade biocatalysis to generate a range of derivatives, and gained insights into the basis for substrate flexibility in this system.

Abstract
Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are typically prepared using amines and highly toxic reagents such as thiophosgene, its derivatives, or CS2. In this work, an investigation of a multicomponent reaction (MCR) using isocyanides, elemental sulfur and amines revealed that isocyanides can be converted to isothiocyanates using sulfur and catalytic amounts of amine bases, especially DBU (down to 2 mol%). This new catalytic reaction was optimized in terms of sustainability, especially considering benign solvents such as Cyrene™ or γ-butyrolactone (GBL) under moderate heating (40 °C). Purification by column chromatography was further optimized to generate less waste by maintaining high purity of the product. Thus, E-factors as low as 0.989 were achieved and the versatility of this straightforward procedure was shown by converting 20 different isocyanides under catalytic conditions, while obtaining moderate to high yields (34-95%).

Abstract
Type II intramolecular cycloadditions ([4+2], [4+3], [4+4] and [5+2]) have emerged recently as an efficient and powerful strategy for the construction of bridged ring systems. In general, type II cycloadditions provide access to a wide range of bridged bicyclo[m.n.1] ring systems with high regio- and diastereoselectivity in an easy and straightforward manner. In each section of this review, an overview of the corresponding type II cycloadditions is presented, which is followed by highlights of method development and synthetic applications in natural product synthesis. The goal of this review is to provide a survey of recent advances in the field covering literature up to 2020. The review will serve as a useful reference for organic chemists engaged in the total synthesis of natural products containing bridged bicyclo[m.n.1] ring systems and provide strong stimulus for invention and further advances in this exciting research field.

Abstract
Alkyl chlorides are common functional groups in synthetic organic chemistry. However, the engagement of unactivated alkyl chlorides, especially tertiary alkyl chlorides, in transition-metal-catalyzed C-C bond formation remains challenging. Herein, we describe the development of a TiIII-catalyzed radical addition of 2° and 3° alkyl chlorides to electron-deficient alkenes. Mechanistic data are consistent with inner-sphere activation of the C-Cl bond featuring TiIII-mediated Cl atom abstraction. Evidence suggests that the active TiIII catalyst is generated from the TiIV precursor in a Lewis-acid-assisted electron transfer process.

Abstract
A divergent enantioselective approach to hapalindole-type alkaloids is described. The route features a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketone via DKR to construct the chiral trans-1-indolyl-2-isopropenylcyclohexane skeleton and a switchable sequence of methylation and acetylation/aldol reaction to access a chiral quaternary stereocenter. (+)-Hapalindole Q (1, 13 steps, 5.9% overall yield), (-)-12-epi-hapalindole Q isonitrile (2, 15 steps, 5.5% overall yield), (-)-hapalindole D (3, 14 steps, 2.3% overall yield), and (+)-12-epi-fischerindole U isothiocyanate (4, 14 steps, 3.0% overall yield) were synthesized in 13-15 steps from a commercially available material to demonstrate the application of this approach.

Abstract
We report synthetic methodology that permits access to two oxacyclic strained intermediates, the 4,5-benzofuranyne and the 3,4-oxacyclohexyne. In situ trapping of these intermediates affords an array of heterocyclic scaffolds by the formation of one or more new C-C or C-heteroatom bonds. Experimentally determined regioselectivities were consistent with predictions made using the distortion/interaction model and were also found to be greater compared to selectivities seen in the case of trapping experiments of the corresponding N-containing intermediates. These studies demonstrate the synthetic versatility of oxacyclic arynes and alkynes for the synthesis of functionalized heterocycles, while further expanding the scope of the distortion/interaction model. Moreover, these efforts underscore the value of harnessing strained heterocyclic intermediates as a unique approach to building polycyclic heteroatom-containing frameworks.

Abstract
At last count, nearly 5000 halogenated natural products have been discovered. In approximately half of these compounds, the carbon atom to which the halogen is bound is sp(3) -hybridized; therefore, there are an enormous number of natural products for which stereocontrolled halogenation must be a critical component of any synthesis strategy. In this Review, we critically discuss the methods and strategies used for stereoselective introduction of halogen atoms in the context of natural product synthesis. Using the successes of the past, we also attempt to identify gaps in our synthesis technology that would aid the synthesis of halogenated natural products, as well as existing methods that have not yet seen application in complex molecule synthesis. The chemistry described herein demonstrates yet again how natural products continue to provide the inspiration for critical advances in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A method is presented for the direct transformation of a ketone to the corresponding reduced alkyl chloride or bromide. The process involves the reaction of a ketone trityl hydrazone with tBuOCl to give a diazene which readily collapses to the α-chlorocarbinyl radical, reduction of which by a hydrogen atom source gives the alkyl chloride product. The use of N-bromosuccinimide provides the corresponding alkyl bromide. This unique transformation provides a reductive halogenation that complements Barton's redox-neutral vinyl halide synthesis.

Abstract
Covering: 2006 to 2015C-H functionalization remains one of the frontier challenges in organic chemistry and drives quite an active area of research. It has recently been applied in various novel strategies for the synthesis of natural products. It can dramatically increase synthetic efficiency when incorporated into retrosynthetic analyses of complex natural products, making it an essential part of current trends in organic synthesis. In this Review, we focus on selected case studies of recent applications of C-H oxidation methodologies in which the C-H bond has been exploited effectively to construct C-O and C-N bonds in natural product syntheses. Examples of syntheses representing different types of C-H oxidation are discussed to illustrate the potential of this approach and inspire future applications.

Abstract
Alkaloids account for some of the most beautiful and biologically active natural products. Although they are usually classified along biosynthetic criteria, they can also be categorized according to certain structural motifs. Amongst these, the α-tertiary amine (ATA), i.e. a tetrasubstituted carbon atom surrounded by three carbons and one nitrogen, is particularly interesting. A limited number of methods have been described to access this functional group and fewer still are commonly used in synthesis. Herein, we review some approaches to asymmetrically access ATAs and provide an overview of alkaloid total syntheses where those have been employed.

Abstract
A computational study using DFT methods was performed for an array of mono and disubstituted benzynes and indolynes. The inherent distortion present in the geometry-optimized structures predicts the regioselectivity of aryne trapping by nucleophiles or cycloaddition partners. These studies will serve to enable the further use of unsymmetrical arynes in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The Stigonemataceae family of cyanobacteria produces a class of biogenetically related indole natural products that include hapalindoles and ambiguines. In this full account, a practical route to the tetracyclic hapalindole family is presented by way of an eight-step, enantiospecific, protecting-group-free total synthesis of (-)-hapalindole U that features an oxidative indole-enolate coupling. With gram-scale access to hapalindole U, the first total synthesis of an ambiguine alkaloid, (+)-ambiguine H, was completed via an isonitrile-assisted prenylation of an indole followed by a photofragmentation cascade.
