Abstract
Concise total syntheses of several 5/7/6 norcembranoids, including ineleganolide, scabrolide B, sinuscalide C, and fragilolide A have been achieved through a fragment coupling/ring closure approach. The central seven-membered ring was forged through sequential Mukaiyama-Michael/aldol reactions using norcarvone and a decorated bicyclic lactone incorporating a latent electrophile. Subsequent manipulations installed the reactive enedione motif and delivered scabrolide B in 11 steps from a chiral pool-derived enone. Finally, ineleganolide, sinuscalide C, and fragilolide A were each accessed in one additional step.

Abstract
Density functional theory (B3LYP-D3(BJ) and ωB97XD) calculations have been used to assess the stereochemical outcomes of the proposed transannular [4 + 2] cycloaddition pathway for the biosynthesis of mandapamate and isomandapamate from macrocyclic intermediates. Calculations reveal that the topological shift between macrocyclic conformers is vital in controlling the stereoselectivity of the downstream steps toward the isomeric mandapamates. A stepwise 4 + 2 type process is energetically favored over a concerted [4 + 2] pathway at room temperature, and is consistent with the stereochemistries found in the natural products.

Abstract
It was recognized only recently that the sister norcembranoids scabrolides A and B have notably different carbotricyclic scaffolds. Therefore, our synthesis route leading to scabrolide A could not be extended to its sibling. Rather, a conceptually new approach had to be devised that relied on a challenging intramolecular alkenylation of a ketone to forge the congested central cycloheptene ring at the bridgehead enone site; the required cyclization precursor was attained by a lanthanide-catalyzed Mukaiyama-Michael addition. The dissonant 1,4-oxygenation pattern was then installed by allylic rearrangement/oxidation of the enone, followed by suprafacial 1,3-transposition. Synthetic scabrolide B was transformed into sinuscalide C by dehydration and into ineleganolide by base-mediated isomerization/oxa-Michael addition, which has potential biosynthetic implications; under basic conditions, the latter compound converts into horiolide by an intricate biomimetic cascade.

Abstract
Herein, we present a highly efficient method for constructing the intricate 5-5-6 fused ring system commonly found in the polycyclic furanobutenolide-derived cembranoid and norcembranoid natural product family with remarkable diastereoselectivity, utilizing an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction as the cornerstone. Notably, employing a propargyl ether tether as the dienophile yields significant enhancements in the transformation process compared to its propargyl ester counterpart, as demonstrated in our previous total synthesis of havellockate. This advancement holds promising implications for future investigations, offering a streamlined pathway for rapidly assembling the tricyclic core characteristic of this diverse family of natural products.

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
Epoxides are oxygen containing heterocycles which are significantly employed as crucial intermediates in various organic transformations. They are considered highly reactive three-membered heterocycles due to ring strain and they undergo epoxide ring opening reactions with diverse range of nucleophiles. Epoxide ring-opening reactions have gained prominence as flexible and effective means to obtain various functionalized molecules. These reactions have garnered substantial attention in organic synthesis, driven by the need to comprehend the synthesis of biologically and structurally important organic compounds. They have also found applications in the synthesis of complex natural products. In this review article, we have summarized the implementation of epoxide ring opening reactions in the synthesis of alkaloids and terpenoids based natural products reported within the last decade (2014-2023).

Abstract
Here, we describe a unique reactivity of isatogen derivatives bearing a hydroxy group at the C3-position (isatogenol) and their synthetic application to highly regio- and stereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions. This method provides facile access to polyfused and highly functionalized heterocycles including consecutive stereocenters. Furthermore, DFT calculations revealed that hydrogen bonding is a key to controlling the regio- and stereoselectivity in the cycloaddition using acrylates.

Abstract
The use of synergistic catalytic strategy can usually circumvent the intrinsic limitations of one catalytic system. In this communication, we disclose a cooperative catalysis strategy of manganese and iminium catalysis to realize selective hydroalkenylation of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Its success stems from the LUMO activation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds with secondary amines as the organocatalyst and the synergistic HOMO activation of alkenylboronic acids with Mn2 (CO)8 Br2 . This protocol exhibits several synthetic advances, e.g., simple operation, good functional group compatibility and good regioselectivity. The theoretical calculation indicates the migratory insertion followed by demetallation-isomerization process is kinetically more favorable than Michael-like nucleophilic addition. The use of proline-derived organocatalyst can deliver the desired products in moderate enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The concise total syntheses of oxidized norcembranoid terpenoids (-)-scabrolide A and (-)-yonarolide have been accomplished in 10 and 11 steps, respectively. The carbocyclic skeleton was efficiently constructed from two chiral-pool-derived fragments, including a [5,5]-bicyclic lactone accessed through a powerful Ni-catalyzed pentannulation of functionalized cyclopentenone with methylenecyclopropane and subsequent fragmentation. Additional features included a Liebeskind-Srogl coupling, induction of a cyclization/elimination cascade by a zinc-amido base, and installation of a sensitive enedione motif by late-stage γ-oxidation.

Abstract
We report the total synthesis of the furanobutenolide-derived diterpenoid (+)-ineleganolide. The synthetic approach relies on a convergent strategy based on the coupling of two enantioenriched fragments, which are derived from (-)-linalool and (+)-norcarvone, respectively. A high-yielding, one-step Michael addition and aldol cascade furnishes a pentacyclic framework as a single diastereomer, thereby overcoming previous challenges in controlling stereochemistry. The endgame features an O2-facilitated C-H oxidation and a samarium diiodide-induced semipinacol rearrangement to furnish the highly rigid central seven-membered ring.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the furanobutenolide-derived cembranoid diterpenoid havellockate is disclosed. Our convergent strategy employs a Julia-Kocienski olefination to join two enantioenriched fragments to produce a diene that is subsequently used in a propiolic acid esterification/Diels-Alder cascade. This sequence generates the fused carbocyclic core of the natural product in short order. A challenging Zn-mediated Barbier allylation then forges the final C-C bond and also establishes two vicinal stereogenic centers. Finally, a Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidation facilitates the formation of the β-hydroxybutanolide to complete the total synthesis.
