Abstract
The first and stereoselective synthesis of xylodonin A and 22-hydroxyxylodonin A, two drimane-type sesquiterpenoid natural products, was developed from the readily available (+)-sclareolide. This route features an allylic oxidation and acid-promoted dehydration for construction of the key intermediate 6-hydroxyisodrimenin. Representative analogues were synthesized, and their previously unknown bioactivities were revealed after biological evaluation. The analogue 19a exhibited cytotoxic activity against liver cancer HepG2 cells (IC50: 8.8 vs 5.9 μM) that was comparable to that of the clinical anticancer drug etoposide with lower toxicity to normal liver HL7702 cells (IC50 > 100 μM).

Abstract
As an important bioactive molecular backbone, drimane meroterpenoids have drawn a great deal of attention from both pharmacologists and chemists. Inspired by the prevalidated success of conformational restriction in the discovery of novel pharmaceutical leads, two distinct tetracyclic drimane meroterpenoids, (-)-pelorol and (+)-aureol, were synthesized from the inexpensive starting material (-)-sclareol through 10 and 8 steps with 5.6% and 5.4% overall yield, respectively. The mild conditions, operational facility, and scalability enabled the expedient synthesis and biological exploration of not only natural products themselves but also their mimics. The first agrochemical exploration showed (-)-pelorol and (+)-aureol possessed good antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, with EC50 values of 7.7 and 6.9 μM, respectively. This revealed that tetracyclic drimane meroterpenoids are valuable models for antifungal lead discovery.

Abstract
(-)-cis-α-Ambrinol is a natural product present in ambergris, a substance of marine origin that has been highly valued by perfumers. In this paper, we present a new approach to its total synthesis. The starting material is commercially available α-ionone and the key step is an intramolecular Barbier-type cyclization induced by CpTiCl2, an organometallic compound prepared in situ by a CpTiCl3 reduction with Mn.

Abstract
Marine meroterpenoids have attracted a great deal of attention from synthetic research groups due to their attractive and varied biological activities and their unique and diverse structures. In most cases, however, further biological studies have been severely limited mainly to the scarcity of natural supply and because almost none of the reported syntheses methods has enabled unified access for a large number of marine meroterpenoids with aureane and avarane skeletons. Based on our previous publications and the study of recent manuscripts on marine meroterpenoids, we have conceived a unified strategy for these fascinating marine compounds with aureane or avarane skeletons using available drimane compounds as starting materials. The key step is a biosynthetic sequence of 1,2-hydride and methyl shifts. This strategy is of great synthetic value to access marine meroterpenoids through easy chemical synthetic procedures. Finally, several retrosynthetic proposals are made for the future synthesis of several members of this class of meroterpenoids, focused on consolidating these 1,2-rearrangements as a versatile and unified strategy that could be widely used in the preparation of these marine meroterpenoids.

Abstract
An expeditious access to marine natural products (+)-strongylin A and corallidictyal D is described. A TFA/Et3SiH-induced reductive isomerization of enols I to alkenyl benzenes II followed by a selectivity-controlled cyclization in the presence of HCl and BF3·Et2O affords benzofuran III and benzopyran IV, respectively. The applicability of this HCl-induced cyclization is showcased by a regio- and stereoselective synthesis of corallidictyal D, while BF3·Et2O-promoted cyclization posterior to rearrangement of an alkenyl benzene provides a regioselectively different benzopyran, (+)-strongylin A.

Abstract
A 12-step total synthesis of the natural product dysiherbol A, a strongly anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor avarane meroterpene isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea sp., was elaborated. As key steps, the synthesis features an enantioselective Cu-catalyzed 1,4-addition/enolate-trapping opening move, an Au-catalyzed double cyclization to build up the tetracyclic core-carbon skeleton, and a late installation of the C5-bridgehead methyl group via proton-induced cyclopropane opening associated with spontaneous cyclic ether formation. The obtained pentacyclic compound (corresponding to an anhydride of the originally suggested structure for dysiherbol A) showed identical spectroscopic data as the natural product, but an opposite molecular rotation. CD-spectroscopic measurements finally confirmed that both the constitution and the absolute configuration of the originally proposed structure of (+)-dysiherbol A need to be revised.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of marine anti-cancer meroterpenoids dysideanone B and dysiherbol A have been accomplished in a divergent way. The synthetic route features: 1) a site and stereoselective α-position alkylation of a Wieland-Miescher ketone derivative with a bulky benzyl bromide to join the terpene and aromatic moieties together and set the stage for subsequent cyclization reactions; 2) an intramolecular radical cyclization to construct the 6/6/6/6-tetracycle of dysideanone B and an intramolecular Heck reaction to forge the 6/6/5/6-fused core structure of dysiherbol A. A late-stage introduction of the ethoxy group in dysideanone B reveals that this group might come from the solvent ethanol. The structure of dysiherbol A has been revised based on our chemical total synthesis.

Abstract
In the last two decades, titanocene monochloride has been postulated as a monoelectronic transfer reagent capable of catalyzing an important variety of chemical transformations. In this Perspective, our contributions to this growing field of research are summarized and analyzed. Especially known have been our contributions in C-C bond formation reactions, hydrogen-atom transfer from water to radicals, and isomerization reactions, as well as the development of a catalytic cycle that has subsequently allowed the preparation of a great variety of natural terpenes. It is also worth mentioning our contribution in the postulation of this single-electron transfer agent (SET) as a new green catalyst with a broad range of applications in organic and organometallic chemistry. The most significant catalytic processes developed by other research groups are also briefly described, with special emphasis on the reaction mechanisms involved. Finally, a reflection is made on the future trends in the research of this SET, aimed at consolidating this chemical as a new green reagent that will be widely used in fine chemistry, green chemistry, and industrial chemical processes.

Drimane meroterpenoids have attracted an increasing amount of attention in the discovery of therapeutically important probes, while the laggard synthetic accessibility is a conspicuous challenge. A new paradigm merging decarboxylative borylation and Suzuki coupling was developed as a powerful platform. Key features include the mild conditions, good chemoselectivity, operational facility, scalability, and easy availability of the coupling partners. This practical strategy enables the expedient formal synthesis of a large number of natural products and rapid generation of analogues.

A Concise Route for the Synthesis of Tetracyclic Meroterpenoids: (±)-Aureol Preparation and Mechanistic Interpretation. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:md18090441.

Abstract
A new concise general methodology for the synthesis of different tetracyclic meroterpenoids is reported: (±)-aureol (1), the key intermediate of this general route. The synthesis of (±)-aureol (1) was achieved in seven steps (28% overall yield) from (±)-albicanol. The key steps of this route include a C-C bond-forming reaction between (±)-albicanal and a lithiated arene unit and a rearrangement involving 1,2-hydride and 1,2-methyl shifts promoted by BF3•Et2O as activator and water as initiator.

Abstract
We have developed and rationalized a biomimetic transformation mimicking halimane synthases based on a Lewis acid-catalyzed cascade of cyclizations and rearrangements of epoxypolyprenes. Two rings, three stereogenic centers, and a new double bond were generated in a single chemical operation. Based on this cascade transformation, we achieved a unified strategy toward the stereoselective total syntheses of halimene-type terpenoids and analogues as a proof-of-concept study. This method has been applied to the rapid synthesis of diterpene isotuberculosinol, a virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a representative example.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total syntheses of highly complex hexacyclic meroterpenoids STR-2 and -9 (strongylophorine (STR)) are reported. Key elements of the synthetic route include the use of Robinson-type annulation reaction to construct the tricyclic terpenoid building block and a highly efficient PIDA-mediated 1,3-diaxial sp3 C-H activation to incorporate the requisite δ-lactone moiety. This route also enables the determination of absolute configuration of the synthesized natural products.

Abstract
Structural analogues of anti-cancer natural product, dysideanone, were synthesized starting from Wieland-Miescher ketone derivative. In vitro studies have been conducted to evaluate the anti-cancer potential of these unnatural meroterpenoids against colon cancer. Synthesized carbotetracycles were found to be more active as compared to their acyclic carbinol-derivatives. Unnatural carbotetracycles 4b-e, 4h, 4i and 12 were found to be highly effective against the human colon adenocarcinoma cells with IC50 concentrations of 7.5-20 μM. In this series, the carbotetracyclic catechol 4e (IC50 = 7.5 μM) and quinone 12 (IC50 = 8 μM) were found to be the most potent compounds having the IC50 of less than 10 μM with no cytotoxic effect on the normal cells. Downregulation of Cox-2 and survivin and cell cycle arrest eventually leading to apoptosis were found to be the underlying mechanism of the anti-cancer effect of these unnatural meroterpenoids.

Abstract
Stachyflin, aureol, smenoqualone, strongylin A, and cyclosmenospongine belong to a family of tetracyclic meroterpenoids, which, by nature of their unique molecular structures and various biological properties, have attracted synthetic and medicinal chemists alike. Despite their obvious biosynthetic relationship, only scattered reports on the synthesis and biological investigation of individual meroterpenoids have appeared so far. Herein, we report a highly modular synthetic strategy that enabled the synthesis of each of these natural products and 15 non-natural derivatives. The route employs an auxiliary-controlled Diels-Alder reaction to enable the enantioselective construction of the decalin subunit, which is connected to variously substituted arenes by either carbonyl addition chemistry or sterically demanding sp2-sp3 cross-coupling reactions. The selective installation of either the cis- or trans-decalin stereochemistry is accomplished by an acid-mediated cyclization/isomerization reaction. Biological profiling reveals that strongylin A and a simplified derivative thereof have potent antibiotic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Regiodivergent γ and γ' arylations across an all-carbon quaternary center of cycloalkanols to access enantioenriched fused and bridged carbotetracycles are reported. The conformation of the carbocation guided either sequential stereospecific β-C-Me/γ-C-H-shifts or β-C-Me/γ'-C-H-shifts, providing fused carbotetracyclic analogs of dysideanone or bridged tetracycles, respectively. The reaction is highly stereoselective in building three contiguous stereocenters, where one, two, or three could be all-carbon quaternary centers. Interestingly, mechanistic studies revealed a crucial role of a methyl substituent in controlling regioselectivity.

Abstract
Abstract: This extensive review covers research published between 2010 and 2012 regarding new compounds derived from marine sponges, including 62 species from 60 genera belonging to 33 families and 13 orders of the Demospongia class (Porifera). The emphasis is on the cytotoxic activity that bioactive metabolites from sponges may have on cancer cell lines. At least 197 novel chemical structures from 337 compounds isolated have been found to support this work. Details on the source and taxonomy of the sponges, their geographical occurrence, and a range of chemical structures are presented. The compounds discovered from the reviewed marine sponges fall into mainly four chemical classes: terpenoids (41.9%), alkaloids (26.2%), macrolides (8.9%) and peptides (6.3%) which, along with polyketides, sterols, and others show a range of biological activities. The key sponge orders studied in the reviewed research were Dictyoceratida, Haplosclerida, Tetractinellida, Poecilosclerida, and Agelasida. Petrosia, Haliclona (Haplosclerida), Rhabdastrella (Tetractinellida), Coscinoderma and Hyppospongia (Dictyioceratida), were found to be the most promising genera because of their capacity for producing new bioactive compounds. Several of the new compounds and their synthetic analogues have shown in vitro cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities against various tumor/cancer cell lines, and some of them will undergo further in vivo evaluation.

Abstract
We report a full account on the development of a unique cationic polyene cyclization for the total synthesis of the tetracyclic meroterpenoid (-)-cyclosmenospongine. A highly convergent three-component coupling strategy enabled rapid access to individual cyclization precursors that were tested for their reactivity. The successful transformation generates three rings and sets four consecutive stereocenters in a single operation proceeding in a highly efficient manner to give exclusively the trans-decalin framework. In addition, we found that the enol ether geometry and the relative configuration of C3 and C8 are crucial for the success of the polyene cyclization.

A total synthesis of coumestrol (1) and aureol (2) is described. The Perkin condensation of 2-bromo-4-hydroxylphenylacetic acid (6) and o-hydroxybenzaldehydes (7) gave the corresponding 2'-bromo-3-arylcoumarins (9). A copper-catalyzed consecutive hydroxylation and aerobic oxidative coupling of 9 under microwave conditions facilitated the total synthesis of 1 and 2, respectively, with spectroscopic data highly similar to those of natural products.

Abstract
The cationic cyclization of polyenes constitutes a powerful and elegant transformation, which has been utilized by nature's biosynthetic machinery for the construction of complex polycyclic terpenoids. Previous studies by chemists to mimic this cyclization in the laboratory were limited to different modes of activation using biosynthetic-like precursors, which accommodate only simple methyl-derived substituents. Here we describe the development of an unprecedented and highly efficient polyene cyclization of an aryl enol ether containing substrate. The cyclization was shown to proceed in a stepwise manner to generate three rings and three consecutive stereocenters, two of which are tetrasubstituted, in a single flask. The developed transformation is of great synthetic value and has enabled the convergent assembly of the tetracyclic meroterpenoid (-)-cyclosmenospongine.
