A concise and asymmetric total synthesis of five kopsane alkaloids that share a unique heptacyclic caged ring system was accomplished. The key transformation in the sequence involved a remarkable PtCl2‐catalyzed intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition, which allowed for the rapid assembly of pentacyclic carbon skeletons bearing 2,3‐quaternary functionalized indoline. Expeditious construction of diverse indoline scaffolds with excellent control of diastereoselectivity demonstrated the broad scope and versatility of this key transformation.

The total synthesis of five natural products Destruxin B, Pseudodestruxin B, Isaridin A, Cladoamide A, and Cladoamide B was accomplished. These depsipeptides were synthesized though a flow macrocyclization method from...
The synthesis of an appropriately functionalized advanced C(6-28) fragment (3) of the marine macrolide iriomoteolide-2a (1) has been achieved in a highly efficient manner. The C(6)-C(18) fragment of 1 is prepared via a radical cyclization of a vinyl ether intermediate and palladium-promoted hydrostannylation/iodination. Paterson aldol reaction and Peterson olefination are used to construct the C(19)-C(28) fragment. The union of the C(6)-C(18) and C(19)-C(28) fragments is accomplished via a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
