Abstract
We herein disclose a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of cyclic Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts with organoboronic acids under mild conditions, which allows for a rapid access to diverse α-alkyl substituted cycloenones. The advantage of this method resides in the employment of functionalized allyl alcohols as the unprecedented electrophilic partners in the absence of external activators.

Abstract
The Diels-Alder reaction stands as one of the most pivotal transformations in organic chemistry. Its efficiency, marked by the formation of two carbon-carbon bonds and up to four new stereocenters in a single step, underscores its versatility and indispensability in synthesizing natural products and pharmaceuticals. The most significant stereoselectivity feature is the "endo rule". While this rule underpins the predictability of the stereochemical outcomes, it also underscores the challenges in achieving the opposite diastereoselectivity, making the exo-Diels-Alder reactions often considered outliers. This review delves into recent examples of exo-Diels-Alder reactions, shedding light on the factors inverting the intrinsic tendency. We explore the roles of steric, electrostatic, and orbital interactions, as well as thermodynamic equilibriums in influencing exo/endo selectivity. Furthermore, we illustrate strategies to manipulate these factors, employing approaches such as bulky substituents, s-cis conformations, transient structural constraints, and innovative control physics. Through these analyses, our aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to predict and design exo-Diels-Alder reactions, paving the way for new diastereoselective catalyst systems and expanding the chemical scope of Diels-Alder reactions.

Abstract
An NHC-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective [3 + 2] annulation of α-bromoenals with bisoxindoles is developed, affording efficient access to various spirocyclic bisoxindole alkaloids. This protocol tolerates a broad substrates scope, with various spirocyclic bisoxindoles obtained in generally excellent enantioselectivities. More importantly, two contiguous sterically congested all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are successfully created during this process.

Abstract
An 8-step synthesis of a known pentacyclic intermediate toward the natural product pleurotin (1) is described. Pleurotin and related benzoquinone natural products are of great interest for their powerful anticancer and antibiotic activities. The route features a regio- and diastereoselective intermolecular photoenolization/Diels-Alder cycloaddition and an alkoxy-radical-induced hydrogen atom transfer-mediated C-H epimerization to construct pleurotin's carbon framework with appropriate relative stereochemical relationships. The synthesis concludes with a ring-forming benzylic C-H oxidation to deliver oxepane 19.

Abstract
A diastereo- and enantioselective photoenolization/Mannich (PEM) reaction of ortho-alkyl aromatic ketones with benzosulfonimides was established by utilizing a chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2 complex as the Lewis acid catalyst. It afforded a series of benzosulfonamides and the corresponding ring-closure products, and a reversal of diastereoselectivity was observed through epimerization of the benzosulfonamide products under continuous irradiation. On the basis of the control experiments, the role of the additive LiNTf2 in achieving high stereoselectivity was elucidated. This PEM reaction was proposed to undergo a direct nucleophilic addition mechanism rather than a hetero-Diels–Alder/ring-opening sequence. A possible transition state model with a photoenolization process was proposed to explain the origin of the high level of stereoinduction. A diastereo- and enantioselective photoenolization/Mannich (PEM) reaction of (2-alkylphenyl) ketones with benzosulfonimides is realized by a chiral N,N′-dioxide/NiII complex catalyst.![]()

Abstract
An asymmetric photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction between electron-rich 2-methylbenzaldehydes and unsaturated γ-lactones was developed to directly construct the basic tricyclic core of aryltetralin lactone lignans. This methodology enabled the first asymmetric total synthesis of aglacins A, B, and E and revision of the absolute configuration of these natural lignans. The strategy was also used to prepare the naturally occurring aryldihydronaphthalene-type lignans (-)-7,8-dihydroisojusticidin B and (+)-linoxepin in four and six steps, as well as 27 natural-product-like molecules containing a C8' quaternary center. We believe that the synthetic aglacins and small-molecule library provide new opportunities to carry out the SAR studies of the podophyllotoxin family of natural products.
