Abstract
Presilphiperfolan-8β-ol synthase (BcBOT2), a substrate-promiscuous sesquiterpene cyclase (STC) of fungal origin, is capable of converting two new farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) derivatives modified at C7 of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) bearing either a hydroxymethyl group or a methoxymethyl group. These substrates were chosen based on a computationally generated model. Biotransformations yielded five new oxygenated terpenoids. Remarkably, the formation of one of these tricyclic products can only be explained by a cationically induced migration of the methoxy group, presumably via a Meerwein-salt intermediate, unprecedented in synthetic chemistry and biosynthesis. The results show the great principle and general potential of terpene cyclases for mechanistic studies of unusual cation chemistry and for the creation of new terpene skeletons.

Abstract
Archangiumide is the first known macrolide natural product comprising an endocyclic allene. For the ring strain that this linear substructure might entail, it was planned to unveil the allene at a very late stage of the projected total synthesis; in actual fact, this was achieved as the last step of the longest linear sequence by using an otherwise globally deprotected substrate. This unconventional timing was made possible by a gold catalyzed rearrangement of a macrocyclic propargyl benzyl ether derivative that uses a -PMB group as latent hydride source to unveil the signature cycloallene; the protecting group therefore gains a strategic role beyond its mere safeguarding function. Although the gold catalyzed reaction per se is stereoablative, the macrocyclic frame of the target was found to impose high selectivity and a stereoconvergent character on the transformation. The required substrate was formed by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) with the aid of a new air-stable molybdenum alkylidyne catalyst.

Abstract
A novel DBU-promoted tandem cyclization reaction of ynones with diazo compounds as the N-terminal electrophiles has been developed. The reaction provides a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of fused eight-membered oxocino[2,3-c] pyrazoles from readily available acyclic starting materials in a single step. This reaction allows the formation of four new bonds and two rings in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner, where two adjacent stereocenters are created simultaneously in an atom-economic manner.

Abstract
A stereoselective and column-economic approach to (+)-penostatins A and C has been developed. The multisubstituted A ring and B/C rings in their unique tricyclic framework are constructed through a Diels-Alder reaction/ozonolysis sequence and an exo intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Using this route, (+)-penostatins A and C can be synthesized in 19 and 20 steps, respectively, with a good overall yield involving only five or six column chromatographic purifications.

Abstract
We report a synthesis of allenylic silyl ethers through iron-catalyzed functionalization of the C(sp2)─H bonds of monosubstituted alkylallenes. In the presence of a cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl based catalyst and triisopropylsilyl triflate as a silylation agent, a variety of aryl aldehydes were suitable coupling partners in this transformation, furnishing a collection of 1,1-disubstituted allenylic triisopropylsilyl ethers as products in moderate to excellent yields as a single regioisomer. Lithium bistriflimide was identified as a critical additive in this transformation. The optimized protocol was scalable, and the products were amenable to further transformation to give a number of unsaturated, polyfunctional derivatives.

Abstract
The control of tetrahedral carbon stereocentres remains a focus of modern synthetic chemistry and is enabled by their configurational stability. By contrast, trisubstituted nitrogen1, phosphorus2 and sulfur compounds3 undergo pyramidal inversion, a fundamental and well-recognized stereochemical phenomenon that is widely exploited4. However, the stereochemistry of oxonium ions-compounds bearing three substituents on a positively charged oxygen atom-is poorly developed and there are few applications of oxonium ions in synthesis beyond their existence as reactive intermediates5,6. There are no examples of configurationally stable oxonium ions in which the oxygen atom is the sole stereogenic centre, probably owing to the low barrier to oxygen pyramidal inversion7 and the perception that all oxonium ions are highly reactive. Here we describe the design, synthesis and characterization of a helically chiral triaryloxonium ion in which inversion of the oxygen lone pair is prevented through geometric restriction to enable it to function as a determinant of configuration. A combined synthesis and quantum calculation approach delineates design principles that enable configurationally stable and room-temperature isolable salts to be generated. We show that the barrier to inversion is greater than 110 kJ mol-1 and outline processes for resolution. This constitutes, to our knowledge, the only example of a chiral non-racemic and configurationally stable molecule in which the oxygen atom is the sole stereogenic centre.

Abstract
The (E/Z)-ocellenynes are C15 dibrominated Laurencia natural products whose structures have been subject to several reassignments on the basis of extensive NMR analysis, biosynthetic postulates, and DFT calculations. Herein, we report the synthesis of both (E)- and (Z)-ocellenyne, which, in combination with single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, allows their absolute configuration to be established and defines the configuration of the syn-12,13-dibromide as being (S, S) in keeping with their proposed biogenesis from the (6S, 7S)-laurediols.

Abstract
An iron-catalyzed C-H functionalization of simple monosubstituted allenes is reported. An efficient protocol for this process was made possible by the use of a newly developed electron-rich and sterically hindered cationic cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl complex as the catalyst and N-sulfonyl hemiaminal ether reagents as precursors to iminium ion electrophiles. Under optimized conditions, the use of a mild, functional-group-tolerant base enabled the conversion of a range of monoalkyl allenes to their allenylic sulfonamido 1,1-disubstituted derivatives, a previously unreported and contrasteric regiochemical outcome for the C-H functionalization of electronically unbiased and directing-group-free allenes.

Abstract
A sequential enantioselective conjugate addition/hydroalkoxylation between in situ generated ortho-quinomethanes and ynones by combining bifunctional squaramide and DBU catalysis has been developed. A variety of eight-membered cyclic ethers with two contiguous tertiary stereocenters were obtained in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. This reaction not only provides a new strategy for constructing enantioenriched eight-membered cyclic ethers but also demonstrates the practicability of ynones as C4-syntons for the synthesis of chiral medium-membered rings.

Abstract
This first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-srilankenyne (1), a halogenated C15 tetrahydropyran acetogenin isolated from Aplysia oculifera, features a sequence-sensitive process guided by conformational analysis to solve the challenging problem of introducing halogens. A competing semipinacol rearrangement during the installation of C(12)-bromide was suppressed by our A1,3 strain-controlled bromination protocol with support from X-ray crystallographic and computational studies. The C(10)-chloride was then placed by the Nakata chloromesylate-mediated chlorination.

Abstract
The Co(ii)-catalyzed selective C-H alkenylation of picolinamides with 1,3-diynes has been developed. This protocol can be applied to a variety of 1,3-diynes. In addition, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical internal alkynes were well tolerated, affording the corresponding alkenyl arenes. Moreover, control experiments indicated that C-H bond cleavage may be involved in the rate-determining step. Furthermore, a deuterium incorporation product was achieved when deuterated alcohol was employed as the solvent, which suggested that alcohol was essential for the final protonolysis.

Forwards and backwards - synthesis of Laurencia natural products using a biomimetic and retrobiomimetic strategy incorporating structural reassignment of laurefurenynes C-F. Chem Sci 2020; 11:11592-11600. [PMID: 34094406 PMCID: PMC8162873 DOI: 10.1039/d0sc04120c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Laurefurenynes C-F are four natural products isolated from Laurencia species whose structures were originally determined on the basis of extensive nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. On the basis of a proposed biogenesis, involving a tricyclic oxonium ion as a key intermediate, we have reassigned the structures of these four natural products and synthesized the four reassigned structures using a biomimetic approach demonstrating that they are the actual structures of the natural products. In addition, we have developed a synthesis of the enantiomers of the natural products laurencin and deacetyllaurencin from the enantiomer of (E)-laurefucin using an unusual retrobiomimetic strategy. All of these syntheses have been enabled by the use of tricyclic oxonium ions as pivotal synthetic intermediates.

Abstract
Aplydactone is a brominated sesquiterpene isolated from the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela. Structurally, it features a complex cage-like skeleton containing a highly strained tricyclic-[4.2.0.03,8]-4-decanone system. Its unique structural features have fascinated many synthetic chemists. In this review, the synthetic efforts towards aplydactone in the last five years are summarized in two categories including nonbiomimetic synthesis and biomimetic synthesis based on the core synthetic strategy. These syntheses set a classical and instructive example for the syntheses of other marine natural products.

Abstract
For decades, the Laurencia family of halogenated C15-acetogenins has served as a valuable testing ground for the prowess of chemical synthesis, particularly as it relates to generating functionalized 8-membered bromoethers. Herein, we show that a readily modified and predictable approach that generates such rings and an array of attendant stereocenters via a bromenium-induced cyclization/ring-expansion process can be used to synthesize laurendecumallene B and determine the configuration of two of its previously unassigned stereocenters. In particular, this work highlights how the use of the bromenium source BDSB (Et2SBr·SbCl5Br) in non-conventional solvents is essential in generating much of the target's complexity in optimal yields and stereoselectivity. Moreover, the final structural assignment of laurendecumallene B reveals that it has one element of bromine-based chirality that, to the best of our knowledge, is not shared with any other member of the class.

Abstract
Reactive intermediates frequently play significant roles in the biosynthesis of numerous classes of natural products although the direct observation of these biosynthetically relevant species is rare. We present here direct evidence for the existence of complex, thermally unstable, tricyclic oxonium ions that have been postulated as key reactive intermediates in the biosynthesis of numerous halogenated natural products from Laurencia species. Evidence for their existence comes from full characterization of these oxonium ions by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, coupled with the direct generation of 10 natural products on exposure of the oxonium ions to various nucleophiles.
