Abstract
Acremolactone B is a pyridine-containing azaphilone-type polyketide. The first total synthesis of this molecule was achieved on a gram scale, based on an aza-6π electrocyclization-aromatization strategy for construction of the tetra-substituted pyridine ring. A bicyclic intermediate was expeditiously prepared by using [2+2] photocycloaddition and chemoselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, which was further elaborated to a densely substituted aza-triene. An electrocyclization-aromatization cascade was utilized to forge the tetracyclic core of this natural product, and the side chain was introduced through diastereoselective acylation and reduction.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-catalyzed oxidative coupling is an efficient strategy for using simple building blocks to construct complex structural scaffolds of natural products. Among them, heterodimeric coupling between two different monomers is relatively scarce, and the corresponding CYP450s are largely undiscovered. In this study, we discovered a fungal CYP450 (CpsD) and its associated cps cluster from 37208 CYP450s of Pfam PF00067 family member database and subsequently identified a group of new skeleton indole piperazine alkaloids (campesines A-G) by combination of genome mining and heterologous synthesis. Importantly, CYP450 CpsD mainly catalyzes intermolecular oxidative heterocoupling of two different indole piperazine monomers to generate an unexpected 6/5/6/6/6/6/5/6 eight-ring scaffold through the formation of one C-C bond and two C-N bonds, illuminating its first dimerase role in this family of natural products. The proposed catalytic mechanism of CpsD was deeply investigated by diversified substrate derivatization. Moreover, dimeric campesine G shows good insecticidal activity against the global honeybee pest Galleria mellonella. Our study shows a representative example of discovering new skeleton monomeric and dimeric indole piperazine alkaloids from microbial resources, expands our knowledge of bond formation by CYP450s and supports further development of the newly discovered and engineered campesine family compounds as potential biopesticides.

Abstract
The genus Clostridium is a large and diverse group within the Bacillota (formerly Firmicutes), whose members can encode useful complex traits such as solvent production, gas-fermentation, and lignocellulose breakdown. We describe 270 genome sequences of solventogenic clostridia from a comprehensive industrial strain collection assembled by Professor David Jones that includes 194 C. beijerinckii, 57 C. saccharobutylicum, 4 C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum, 5 C. butyricum, 7 C. acetobutylicum, and 3 C. tetanomorphum genomes. We report methods, analyses and characterization for phylogeny, key attributes, core biosynthetic genes, secondary metabolites, plasmids, prophage/CRISPR diversity, cellulosomes and quorum sensing for the 6 species. The expanded genomic data described here will facilitate engineering of solvent-producing clostridia as well as non-model microorganisms with innately desirable traits. Sequences could be applied in conventional platform biocatalysts such as yeast or Escherichia coli for enhanced chemical production. Recently, gene sequences from this collection were used to engineer Clostridium autoethanogenum, a gas-fermenting autotrophic acetogen, for continuous acetone or isopropanol production, as well as butanol, butanoic acid, hexanol and hexanoic acid production.

Abstract
Lithium metal anodes show great promise for use in next-generation secondary batteries, but they suffer from lithium dendrite growth, as well as other issues, which cause safety problems and result in a loss of capacity with time. The use of artificial inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers, such as those comprising Al2O3, is a promising way to mitigate these disadvantages, but the mechanism behind these observed improvements remains poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD), the surface of a Cu electrode was coated with a physicochemically stable and mechanically strong Al2O3 thin film, and the effects of the film coating on the lithium deposition and dissolution behaviour were investigated. When the morphology of the deposits was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, small lithium nuclei (approximately 0.2 μm in diameter) were observed to be deposited uniformly over the entire surface of the uncoated Cu electrode in the initial electrodeposition, and these grew into needle-like crystals from the nuclei. After 60 min of electrodeposition, the needle-like precipitates had aggregated and grown into three-dimensional structures with dendritic form. In contrast, on the surface of the Cu electrode modified with Al2O3 by PLD for 1 h, lithium clusters of about 50 μm in diameter were found to be aggregated and precipitated in the initial stages of electrodeposition. Notably, this is the first report of lithium deposition on Al2O3 thin films. With further cycling, the precipitates grew into two-dimensional flat plates. Analysis of the SEI film formed during the first deposition reaction revealed that the Al2O3 coating reduced the thickness of the SEI compared to that of the uncoated electrode. Therefore, the Al2O3 coating suppressed the decomposition of the electrolyte with the Cu electrode. The use of Al2O3 coatings results in (i) the growth of two-dimensional lithium clusters with an island shape on the Al2O3 thin film, and these could ensure a uniform electron conduction path to the electrode; in addition, (ii) the inhibited electrolyte decomposition caused by the low-surface-area lithium clusters and the low electronic conductivity of the Al2O3 thin film. These improve the coulombic efficiency and cycling behaviour.

Abstract
Difluorocarbene is a simple and versatile one-carbon unit for synthesizing acyclic and cyclic organofluorine compounds. However, the use of difluorocarbene in organic synthesis has been relatively limited because of the harsh conditions required for its generation, the toxicity of the precursors, and undesired dimerization. This feature article provides an account of (i) the generation of free and metal difluorocarbenes from trimethylsilyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate (TFDA) or BrCF2CO2Li/Na and (ii) their application to the facile synthesis of valuable organofluorine compounds. The difluorocarbenes thus generated react with (thio)carbonyl compounds and silyl dienol ethers to provide a wide variety of products such as (a) difluoromethyl (thio)ethers, (b) fluorinated thiophenes, (c) fluorinated thia/oxazoles, (d) fluorinated cyclopentanones and (e) difluoroalkenes.

Abstract
Overcrowded alkenes are expeditiously prepared by the versatile Barton-Kellogg olefination and have remarkable applications as functional molecules owing to their unique stereochemical features. The induced stereodynamics thereby enable the controlled motion of molecular switches and motors, while the high configurational stability prevents undesired isomeric scrambling. Bistricyclic aromatic enes are prototypical overcrowded alkenes with outstanding stereochemical properties, but their stereocontrolled preparation was thus far only feasible in stereospecific reactions and with chiral auxiliaries. Herein we report that direct catalyst control is achieved by a stereoselective Barton-Kellogg olefination with enantio- and diastereocontrol for various bistricyclic aromatic enes. Using Rh2 (S-PTAD)4 as catalyst, several diazo compounds were selectively coupled with a thioketone to give one of the four anti-folded overcrowded alkene stereoisomers upon reduction. Complete stereodivergence was reached by catalyst control in combination with distinct thiirane reductions to provide all four stereoisomers with e.r. values of up to 99:1. We envision that this strategy will enable the synthesis of topologically unique overcrowded alkenes for functional materials, catalysis, energy- and electron transfer, and bioactive compounds.

Abstract
The design of synthetic routes by retrosynthetic logic is decisively influenced by the transformations available. Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation has emerged as a powerful strategy for C-C bond formation, with myriad methods developed for diverse substrates and coupling partners. However, its uptake in total synthesis has been tepid, partially due to their apparent synthetic intractability, as well as a lack of comprehensive guidelines for implementation. This Review addresses these issues and offers a guide to identify retrosynthetic opportunities to generate C-C bonds by C-H activation processes. By comparing total syntheses accomplished using traditional approaches and recent C-H activation methods, this Review demonstrates how C-H activation enabled C-C bond construction has led to more efficient retrosynthetic strategies, as well as the execution of previously unattainable tactical maneuvers. Finally, shortcomings of existing processes are highlighted; this Review illustrates how some highlighted total syntheses can be further economized by adopting next-generation ligand-enabled approaches.

Abstract
Herein we report the first enantioselective total synthesis of 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid-derived meroterpenoids (-)-berkeleyone A and its five congeners ((-)-preaustinoids A, A1, B, B1, and B2) in 12-15 steps, starting from commercially available 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid hydrate. Based upon the recognition of latent symmetry within D-ring, our convergent synthesis features two critical reactions: 1) a symmetry-breaking, diastereoselective dearomative alkylation to assemble the entire carbon core, and 2) a Sc(OTf)3 -mediated sequential Krapcho dealkoxycarbonylation/carbonyl α-tert-alkylation to forge the intricate bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane framework. We also conducted our preliminary biomimetic investigations and uncovered a series of rearrangements (α-ketol, α-hydroxyl-β-diketone, etc.) responsible for the biomimetic diversification of (-)-berkeleyone A into its five preaustinoid congeners.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of gastrodinol, an unprecedented poly-p-cresol-substituted natural product with a rearranged and reconstructed C ring moiety, is reported. Our synthesis features a convergent fragment approach. The Sonogashira coupling reaction forges the two segments together to furnish the conjugated ene-yne. Photocatalytic 6π electrocyclization followed by spontaneous aromatization is used to construct the tetrasubstituted B ring at the late stage. Further study shows that gastrodinol exhibits significant cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines in vitro (IC50 2.5-3.8 μM).

Abstract
An asymmetric intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,3-dienes with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, which was catalyzed by a rhodium(i)-chiral phosphoramidite complex, was developed. This protocol provided a highly enantioselective access to prepare carbonyl substituted cyclohexa-1,4-dienes with up to 96% yield and >99% ee. Notably, a cycloaddition on the 10 g scale gave the product in 92% yield and with 99% ee, which showed great potential for the scale-up synthesis of carbonyl substituted cyclohexa-1,4-dienes. In addition, oxidative aromatizations and hydrolysis of the products were also investigated.

Abstract
Here we report a convenient synthesis of thionoesters by base-catalyzed transesterification. Benzyl and alkyl thionobenzoates and thionoheterobenzoates were efficiently prepared using various alcohols catalyzed by the corresponding sodium alkoxide. This methodology features a broad substrate scope, good to excellent yields, short reaction times, while simultaneously driving the reaction toward completion through the removal of the methanol byproduct. We also report the conversion of a small collection of thionobenzoates into the corresponding α,α-difluorobenzyl ethers to demonstrate the conversion of alcohols into difluorobenzyl or difluoroheterobenzyl ethers, a process that could prove useful for lead optimization in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Aplysiasecosterol A (1) is a structurally unusual 9,11-secosteroid isolated from the sea hare Aplysia kurodai. We have accomplished the first and asymmetric total synthesis of 1 in a convergent fashion. The left-hand segment bearing three adjacent stereocenters was constructed through desymmetrizing reduction, ketalization, and radical cyclization. A strategy of asymmetric 2-bromoallylation followed by spontaneous desymmetrizing lactolization enabled a more expeditious access to this segment. The right-hand segment was prepared through two different approaches: one featuring Myers alkylation and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and the other relying upon Aggarwal lithiation-borylation and Zweifel-Evans olefination. The two fragments were coupled by a Reformatsky type reaction. The three consecutive stereocenters embedded in the central domain of 1 were generated by an iron-mediated, hydrogen atom transfer based radical cyclization reaction.

Abstract
The pool of abundant chiral terpene building blocks (i.e., "chiral pool terpenes") has long served as a starting point for the chemical synthesis of complex natural products, including many terpenes themselves. As inexpensive and versatile starting materials, such compounds continue to influence modern synthetic chemistry. This review highlights 21st century terpene total syntheses which themselves use small, terpene-derived materials as building blocks. An outlook to the future of research in this area is highlighted as well.

Abstract
We report a concise total synthesis of dictyodendrin F and the first total syntheses of dictyodendrins H and I in six steps. In these syntheses, aryl ynol ethers were employed as the key building blocks to introduce aryl and heteroaryl rings in the dictyodendrins. This rapid synthesis utilized a novel hetero-[2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction between two aryl ynol ethers to yield a cyclobutenone ring. The cyclobutenone was sequentially converted into a highly substituted carbazole via a retro-4π/6π-electrocyclization-N-acylation cascade reaction to provide the dictyodendrin core. Consecutive intramolecular oxidative coupling and deprotection gave dictyodendrins F, H, and I.

Abstract
The total synthesis of epoxyeujindole A, a structurally unusual indole diterpenoid isolated from Eupenicillium javanicum, has been accomplished for the first time. The synthesis features a late-stage cationic cyclization strategy, which took advantage of an electron-rich olefinic substrate. The CDE ring system was assembled via an enantioselective conjugate addition/alkylation, a Luche cyclization, and a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction. The heavily substituted A ring was constructed through a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and a cationic cyclization, and the bridged fused B ring was formed through a Prins reaction.

Abstract
Complete structural elucidation of natural products is often challenging due to structural complexity and limited availability. This is true for present-day secondary metabolites, but even more for exceptionally preserved secondary metabolites of ancient organisms that potentially provide insights into the evolutionary history of natural products. Here, we report the full structure and absolute configuration of the borolithochromes, enigmatic boron-containing pigments from a Jurassic putative red alga, from samples of less than 50 μg using microcryoprobe NMR, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations and reveal their polyketide origin. The pigments are identified as spiroborates with two pentacyclic sec-butyl-trihydroxy-methyl-benzo[gh]tetraphen-one ligands and less-substituted derivatives. The configuration of the sec-butyl group is found to be (S). Because the exceptional benzo[gh]tetraphene scaffold is otherwise only observed in the recently discovered polyketide clostrubin from a present-day Clostridium bacterium, the Jurassic borolithochromes now can be unambiguously linked to the modern polyketide, providing evidence that the fossil pigments are almost originally preserved secondary metabolites and suggesting that the pigments in fact may have been produced by an ancient bacterium. The borolithochromes differ fundamentally from previously described boronated polyketides and represent the first boronated aromatic polyketides found so far. Our results demonstrate the potential of microcryoprobe NMR in the analysis of previously little-explored secondary metabolites from ancient organisms and reveal the evolutionary significance of clostrubin-type polyketides.

Abstract
A stereocontrolled total synthesis of the indole diterpenoid natural product paspaline is described. Key steps include a highly diastereoselective enzymatic desymmetrization, substrate-directed epoxidation, Ireland-Claisen rearrangement, and diastereotopic group selective C-H acetoxylation to assemble the target with excellent stereofidelity. The route and results described herein outline complementary conceptual disconnections in the arena of steroid natural product synthesis.
