Abstract
A carbonyl-assisted asymmetric 1,2-migratory allylation through in situ generation of vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters is reported to access enantiopure α-amino ketones and amino alcohols with excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. In a remarkable divergence, despite higher steric hindrance, the allylation exclusively occurs on ketones over imines in the first step, followed by a face-selective 1,2-allyl transfer, thus highlighting an exciting interplay between two distinct electrophiles. The methodology distinguishes itself through its adaptability to gram-scale synthesis, showcasing broad functional-group tolerance and stereodivergence. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis led to a deeper understanding of its selectivity and mechanistic framework. Highlighting its transformative potential, the method was applied to the total synthesis of hapalindole alkaloids.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a critical role in cellular signaling and represent interesting targets for therapeutic intervention. 14-3-3 proteins integrate many signaling targets via PPIs and are frequently implicated in disease, making them intriguing drug targets. Here, we review the recent advances in the 14-3-3 field. It will discuss the roles 14-3-3 proteins play within the cell, elucidation of their expansive interactome, and the complex mechanisms that underpin their function. In addition, the review will discuss significant advances in the development of molecular glues that target 14-3-3 PPIs. In particular, it will focus on novel drug discovery and development methodologies that have delivered selective, potent, and drug-like molecules that could open new avenues for the development of precision molecular tools and medicines.

Abstract
We have achieved the first total synthesis of bipolarolides A and B, which possess an intriguing and complex 5/6/6/6/5 caged pentacyclic skeleton with seven contiguous stereocenters. The synthesis features a lithium-halogen exchange/intermolecular nucleophilic addition to link two enantioenriched fragments, two ring-closing metathesis reactions to assemble the five- and eight-membered rings, and a bioinspired Prins reaction/ether formation cascade cyclization to construct the 5/6/6/6/5 caged skeleton.

Abstract
Here, we report concise and divergent total syntheses of fusicoccane members brassicicenes A, R, and T. The key feature of the synthesis is the rapid construction of the 5/8/5 tricyclic core via four steps: aldol reaction, Stork-Danheiser transposition, and ring-closing metathesis from known compounds followed by concise oxidation state adjustment.
