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
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
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.

Abstract
![]()
Despite numerous
advances in spectroscopic methods through the
latter part of the 20th century, the unequivocal structure determination
of natural products can remain challenging, and inevitably, incorrect
structures appear in the literature. Computational methods that allow
the accurate prediction of NMR chemical shifts have emerged as a powerful
addition to the toolbox of methods available for the structure determination
of small organic molecules. Herein, we report the structure determination
of a small, stereochemically rich natural product from Laurencia majuscula using the powerful combination
of computational methods and total synthesis, along with the structure
confirmation of notoryne, using the same approach. Additionally, we
synthesized three further diastereomers of the L. majuscula enyne and have demonstrated that computations are able to distinguish
each of the four synthetic diastereomers from the 32 possible diastereomers
of the natural product. Key to the success of this work is to analyze
the computational data to provide the greatest distinction between
each diastereomer, by identifying chemical shifts that are most sensitive
to changes in relative stereochemistry. The success of the computational
methods in the structure determination of stereochemically rich, flexible
organic molecules will allow all involved in structure determination
to use these methods with confidence.

Abstract
Red algae of Laurencia continue to provide wide structural diversity and complexity of halogenated C15 acetogenin medium-ring ethers. Here, we described the isolation of three new C15 acetogenins (3–5), and one truncated derivative (6) from Laurencia viridis collected on the Canary Islands. These compounds are interesting variations on the pinnatifidenyne structure that included the first examples of ethynyl oxirane derivatives (3–4). The structures were elucidated by extensive study of NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) data, J-based configuration analysis and DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations. Their antiproliferative activity against six human solid tumor cell lines was evaluated.

Abstract
The total syntheses of 12-epoxyobtusallene IV, 12-epoxyobtusallene II, obtusallene X, marilzabicycloallene C, and marilzabicycloallene D as halogenated C15-acetogenin 12-membered bicyclic and tricyclic ether bromoallene-containing marine metabolites from Laurencia species are described. Two enantiomerically pure C4-epimeric dioxabicyclo[8.2.1]tridecenes were synthesized by E-selective ring-closing metathesis where their absolute stereochemistry was previously set via catalytic asymmetric homoallylic epoxidation and elaborated via regioselective epoxide-ring opening and diastereoselective bromoetherification. Epimeric face-selective oxidation of their Δ12,13 olefins followed by bromoallene installation allowed access to the oppositely configured 12,13-epoxides of 12-epoxyobtusallene II and 12-epoxyobtusallene IV. Subsequent exploration of their putative biomimetic oxonium ion formation-fragmentations reactions revealed diastereodivergent pathways giving marilzabicycloallene C and obtusallene X, respectively. The original configurations of the substrates evidently control oxonium ion formation and their subsequent preferred mode of fragmentation by nucleophilic attack at C9 or C12. Quantum modeling of this stereoselectivity at the ωB97X-D/Def2-TZVPPD/SCRF = methanol level revealed that in addition to direction resulting from hydrogen bonding, the dipole moment of the ion-pair transition state is an important factor. Marilzabicycloallene D as a pentahalogenated 12-membered bicyclic ether bromoallene was synthesized by a face-selective chloronium ion initiated oxonium ion formation-fragmentation process followed by subsequent bromoallene installation.

Abstract
Substrate-controlled asymmetric total syntheses of (+)-microcladallenes A, B, and C have been accomplished based on the proposed structures. The syntheses of microcladallenes A and B confirmed the structures and absolute configurations of both natural products. However, the synthesis of microcladallene C, which includes seven stereogenic centers and an (R)-bromoallene in its compact C15 framework, brought the realization that its proposed structure must be revised. The introduction of C12-bromine into these natural products with retention of configuration relied on TiBr4 -mediated nucleophile-assisting leaving group brominations, the stereochemical outcome of which could be attributed, at least in part, to an oxonium or halonium ion formation-fragmentation sequence through intricate neighboring group participation. In addition, the pivotal β-oriented vicinal cis-dichloride function in microcladallene C was elaborated through a novel tandem Cl2 -induced electrophilic cyclization/imidate chlorination process. The positive rotations of these natural products with an (R)-bromoallene constitute exceptions to Lowe's rule for reasons yet to be determined.

This article describes the application of a first-generation phosphoramidite catalyst to the construction of the most commonly encountered subunits of bromine-containing natural products. The process is compared with previous efforts, and is found to be complementary to existing methods. Application of the process enables bromocarbocyclisations, bromoetherifications, and bromoallene formation using the common laboratory reagent N-bromosuccinimide.

Abstract
Abstract
The marine red alga genus Laurencia is one of the richest producers of unique brominated compounds in the marine environment. The cDNAs for two Laurencia nipponica vanadium-dependent bromoperoxidases (LnVBPO1 and LnVBPO2) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Enzyme assays of recombinant LnVBPO1 and LnVBPO2 using monochlorodimedone revealed that they were thermolabile but their Km values for Br− were significantly lower than other red algal VBPOs. The bromination reaction was also assessed using laurediol, the predicted natural precursor of the brominated ether laurencin. Laurediol, protected by trimethylsilyl at the enyne, was converted to deacetyllaurencin by the LnVBPOs, which was confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry. Native LnVBPO partially purified from algal bodies was active, suggesting that LnVBPO is functional in vivo. These results contributed to our knowledge of the biosynthesis of Laurencia brominated metabolites.

Abstract
The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a series of diynones has been achieved in high conversion and enantiomeric induction. When R(1) is a phenyl group, a competing alkyne reduction takes place; however, when R(1) is an alkyl group, this side-reaction is not observed. The application of the reduction to the total synthesis of the natural product (S)-panaxjapyne A in high enantiomeric excess is described.

Abstract
The originally assigned stereostructures of laurefurenynes A and B have been reassigned on the basis of DFT calculations of NMR chemical shifts, synthesis of model compounds and total synthesis of laurefurenyne B, demonstrating the power of this combined approach for stereostructure elucidation/confirmation.

Abstract
Herein we describe in full our investigations leading to the first total syntheses of ent-dioxepandehydrothyrsiferol and armatol A. Discovery of a bromonium-initiated epoxide-opening cascade enabled novel tactics for constructing key fragments found in both natural products and have led us to revise the proposed biogeneses. Other common features found in the routes include convergent fragment coupling strategies to assemble the natural products' backbones and the use of epoxide-opening cascades for rapid constructions of the fused polyether subunits. Through de novo synthesis of armatol A, we elucidate the absolute and relative configuration of this natural product.
