Abstract
Quassinoid natural products have gained considerable recognition for their diverse biological properties and their synthetically challenging, highly oxygenated polycyclic structures. Herein, we discuss strategies and tactics in the total synthesis of quassinoids that have been evolving over the past 15 years. Additionally, recent structure-activity relationships and potential biological mechanisms of actions are briefly summarized.

Abstract
Allelochemicals are secondary metabolites produced from plants and used to prevent and control the invasion of other plants and microorganisms, with broad application prospects in crop protection. Structurally, momilactones belong to 9β-H pimarane diterpenoids, one of rice’s significant allelochemicals with anti-weeds and antibacterial activity. Rare studies have been reported with the synthesis challenges of the unique 9β-H pimarane skeleton. Hence, synthetic strategies of momilactones and related 9β-H pimarane skeleton are reviewed from 1984 to 2021.

Abstract
A synthetic approach to quassinoids is described. The route to the tetracyclic core relies on an efficient and selective annulation between two unsaturated carbonyl components that is initiated by catalytic hydrogen atom transfer from an iron hydride to an alkene. Application of this strategy allows for enantioselective synthesis of quassin, which is prepared in 14 steps from commercially available starting material.

Abstract
A phytochemical investigation on the roots of medicinal plant Eurycoma longifolia resulted in the isolation of 10 new highly oxygenated C20 quassinoids longifolactones G‒P (1–10), along with four known ones (11–14). Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallographic data. Notably, compound 1 is a rare pentacyclic C20 quassinoid featuring a densely functionalized 2,5-dioxatricyclo[5.2.2.04,8]undecane core. Compound 4 represents the first example of quassinoids containing a 14,15-epoxy functionality, and 7 features an unusual α-oriented hydroxyl group at C-14. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferation activities on human leukemia cells. Among the isolates, compounds 5, 12, 13, and 14 potently inhibited the in vitro proliferation of K562 and HL-60 cells with IC50 values ranging from 2.90 to 8.20 μM.

Abstract
A highly concise bioinspired four-step total synthesis of yaoshanenolides A and B possessing tricyclic spirolactone with an unusual 5'H-spiro-[bicyclo[2.2.2]-oct[2]ene-7,2'-furan]-5'-one scaffold is reported. This synthesis features high-yielding aldol-type addition of γ-butyrolactone on to the aldehyde, exocyclic olefination of lactone derivative using Eschenmoser's salt, and highly facial- and endo-selective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of fully functionalized 5-methylene-2(5H)-furanone with natural R-(-)-α-phellandrene. The approach allows access to yaoshanenolides A and B in four linear steps in 11 and 13% overall yield.

Abstract
Polycyclization reactions are among the most efficient synthetic tools for the synthesis of complex, polycyclic molecules in a single operation from simple starting materials. We report in this manuscript a full account on the discovery and development of a novel cationic polycyclization from readily available ynamides. Simple activation of these building blocks under acidic conditions enables the generation of highly reactive activated keteniminium ions, which triggers an unprecedented cationic polycyclization yielding highly substituted polycyclic nitrogen heterocycles possessing up to seven fused cycles and three contiguous stereocenters.

Abstract
The Cs2CO3-mediated annulations ("Deslongchamps annulations") of three spirocyclic benzoquinone monoketals 5b-d with an ester or acyl substituent at C-2 to two tert-butyl esters of γ,δ-unsaturated β-ketocarboxyl acids ("Nazarov reagents"; 2a,b) were monitored 1H NMR spectroscopically. This revealed that a primary product, by all likelihood the Michael adduct, forms fast and prior to the appearance of the Deslongchamps adduct. These primary products form reversibly. This was proved by two crossover and four scavenging experiments. Therein, components already incorporated in one of the mentioned primary products ended up in Deslongchamps adducts different from the one, which would have resulted if the respective primary product had reacted alone. However, these experiments leave open whether our primary products are intermediates en route to Deslongchamps products or whether they represent dead ends.
