Abstract
Halo-cycloetherification of lactam-tethered alkenols enables the construction of oxygen-heterocycles that are fused to nitrogen heterocycles via intramolecular halonium-induced nucleophilic addition. Specifically, tetrahydropyrans (THPs) that are fused to a nitrogen heterocycle constitute the core of several bioactive molecules, including tachykinin receptor antagonists and alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists. Although the literature is replete with successful examples of the halo-cycloetherification of simple mono- or disubstituted primary alkenols, methods for the modular, efficient, regioselective, and stereocontrolled intramolecular haloetherification of sterically encumbered trisubstituted tertiary alkenols are rare. Here, we describe a simple intramolecular bromoetherification strategy that meets these benchmarks and proceeds with exclusive 6-endo regioselectivity. The transformation employs mild and water-tolerant conditions, which bodes well for late-stage diversification. The hindered ethers contain four contiguous stereocenters as well as one halogen-bearing tetrasubstituted stereocenter.

Abstract
Covering: 2013 to June 2022Pheromones are usually produced by insects in sub-microgram amounts, which prevents the elucidation of their structures by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Instead, a synthetic reference material is needed to confirm the structure of the natural compounds. In addition, the provision of synthetic pheromones enables large-scale field trials for the development of environmentally friendly pest management tools. Because of these potential applications in pest control, insect pheromones are attractive targets for the development of synthetic procedures and the synthesis of these intraspecific chemical messengers has been at the core of numerous research efforts in the field of pheromone chemistry. The present review is a quick reference guide for the syntheses of insect pheromones published from 2013 to mid-2022, listing the synthesized compounds and highlighting current methodologies in organic synthesis, such as carbon-carbon coupling reactions, organo-transition metal chemistry including ring-closing olefin metathesis, asymmetric epoxidations and dihydroxylations, and enzymatic reactions.

Abstract
Tetropium fuscum is a harmful forest pest and attacks spruces. The contact sex pheromone of this pest, (S)-11-methyl-heptacosane, and its enantiomer were synthesized via Evans' chiral auxiliaries. The key steps of this approach included acylation of carboxylic acid, diastereoselective methylation of oxazolidinone amide, and Wittig coupling of the aldehyde with chiral phosphonium salt. The synthetic pheromones would have potential utility in the control of this pest.

Abstract
Halolactonization of alkenoic acids enables the construction of oxygen-heterocycles via intramolecular halonium-induced nucleophilic addition. Although the literature is currently inundated with halolactonizations of 5-aryl-4(E)-pentenoic acids that predictably afford the 6-endo cyclization adducts, methods that reliably alter the innate regioselectivity bias to instead deliver the thermodynamically less favored 5-exo cyclization products are relatively rare. Here, we attempt to bridge this gap and have found mild conditions for contra-thermodynamic halolactonization of lactam-tethered 5-aryl-4(E)-pentenoic acids that lead to the formation of trans-fused lactam-γ-lactones. The natural proclivity for these 5-aryl-4(E)-pentenoic acids to undergo 6-endo cyclization is overridden and 5-exo-trig cyclization predominates. The success of the approach hinges on the use of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent and N-methylmorpholine oxide as the catalyst. The lactam-lactone products are synthesized in high diastereoselectivity, modularity, and chemoselectivity. Notably, most of the bicycles contain one benzylic quaternary stereocenter as well as an α-alkoxy quaternary stereocenter. The contra-thermodynamic halolactonization of lactam-tethered 5-aryl-4(E)-pentenoic acids, under solvent- and catalyst-controlled conditions, has facilitated the efficient and stereocontrolled synthesis of halogenated fused γ-lactone-lactams.![]()

S as the catalyst led to predominant 6-endo-trig cyclization and furnished the trans-fused-γ-lactam-δ-lactones. The transformation is modular, regioselective, chemoselective, and diastereoselective. The γ-lactam-δ-lactones bear angular quaternary benzylic stereocenters, which is noteworthy since the presence of a quaternary carbon in bioactive small molecules often promotes an element of conformational restriction that imparts potency, selectivity, and metabolic stability. The generated halogen and lactone motifs are important functional handles for late-stage diversification.

Abstract
This review describes two novel synthetic routes from (S)-pyroglutaminol to (+)-lactacystin, a potent inhibitor of the 20S proteasome and from d-gluconolactone derivative to zaragozic acid C, a potent squalene synthase inhibitor. In lactacystin synthesis, the photoinduced intermolecular C(sp3)-H alkynylation and intramolecular C(sp3)-H acylation chemoselectively and stereoselectively constructed the tetrasubstituted and trisubstituted carbon centers, respectively. In the synthesis of zaragozic acid C, the stereoselective installation of the two contiguous tetrasubstituted carbons was achieved by the photochemical intramolecular C(sp3)-H acylation of a densely oxygenated intermediate.

Abstract
The controversial molecular identification of ( R)-2-methylheptyl isonicotinate (1) has been settled. Despite its significance as a potent anti-microbial agent against several clinically relevant pathogens, the structure of natural product is uncertain so far due to controversial reports. Its structure has been resolved as bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (2) by total syntheses of chain isomers. In addition, we have also revised bis (2-methylheptyl) phthalate (3) as (2) in some reports.

Abstract
An investigation into the use of Lewis base catalysis for the enantioselective chlorolactonization of 1,2-disubstituted alkenoic acids is described. Two mechanistically distinct reaction pathways for catalytic chlorolactonization have been identified. Mechanistic investigation revealed that tertiary amines predominately operate as Brønsted rather than Lewis bases. Two potential modes of activation have been identified that involve donation of electron density of the carboxylate to the C═C bond as well hydrogen bonding to the chlorinating agent. Sulfur- and selenium-based additives operate under Lewis base catalysis; however, due to the instability of the intermediate benzylic chloriranium ion, chlorolactonization suffers from low chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Independent generation of the benzylic chloriranium ion shows that it is in equilibrium with an open cation, which leads to low specificities in the nucleophilic capture of the intermediate.

Abstract
Insect pheromones are some of the most interesting natural products because they are utilized for interspecific communication between various insects, such as beetles, moths, ants, and cockroaches. A large number of compounds of many kinds have been identified as pheromone components, reflecting the diversity of insect species. While this review deals only with chiral methyl-branched pheromones, the chemical structures of more than one hundred non-terpene compounds have been determined by applying excellent analytical techniques. Furthermore, their stereoselective syntheses have been achieved by employing trustworthy chiral sources and ingenious enantioselective reactions. The information has been reviewed here not only to make them available for new research but also to understand the characteristic chemical structures of the chiral pheromones. Since biosynthetic studies are still limited, it might be meaningful to examine whether the structures, particularly the positions and configurations of the branched methyl groups, are correlated with the taxonomy of the pheromone producers and also with the function of the pheromones in communication systems.
