Article Abstract
A cascade Claisen rearrangement of a well-organized maltol propargyl ether for the construction of polysubstituted salicylaldehydes is reported. This reaction features high atom economy (100 %), as well as catalyst-free and gram-scale conditions. Based on this novel methodology, the total synthesis of hemigossypol, gossypol, and their analogues has been realized.

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (-)-Psychotriadine Featuring [3,3]-Rearrangement and Stereo-Controllable Ring-Contraction.

The first asymmetric total syntheses of (-)-psychotriadine () and its putative congener tetrahydropsychotriadine () were accomplished in 12 and 13 steps, respectively, featuring Meerwein-Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement and Fischer indolization/Plancher rearrangement cascade. A stereochemically controllable dearomative ring contraction was utilized to create the vicinal quaternary stereocenters. The absolute configuration was confirmed through X-ray crystallography and >200 mg of (90% enantiomeric excess (ee)) was obtained.

Computer-aided substrate design is an effective approach to developing new reactions. Here, we report the dearomative Claisen-type rearrangement along with the construction of a quaternary carbon via comprehensive evaluation of the transition states of virtual substrates. The experimental rearrangement of 2,4,6-trimethyl benzyl alkynyl ether occurs as designed.

The recruitment of catabolic β-oxidation enzyme cascades and their reaction logic for natural product biosynthesis remains underexplored, representing a significant opportunity for synthetic biology to engineer novel pathways for structurally unique metabolites. In this study, the first functional reconstitution of the fungal β-oxidative cascade responsible for assembling the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA) is reported. Through in vitro enzyme assays, five peroxisomal enzymes are identified that cooperatively mediate two iterative rounds of side-chain cleavage of the biosynthetic precursor MFDHMP-3C and revealed a key oxidative strategy for pharmacophore formation of MPA.

A microwave-assisted cascade conjugate addition-intramolecular cinnamoyl transfer ("cut and sew") strategy involving 2-hydroxyphenyl--quinone methides (HPQMs) and curcumins, yielding cinnamoyl cinnamates bearing a diarylalkyl moiety in excellent yields and with broad substrate versatility, is reported. Mechanistic studies revealed a cascade Michael-hemiketalization-retro-Claisen reaction resulting in the C-C(CO) bond cleavage of curcumin. Furthermore, the cinnamoyl transfer products are amenable for a variety of synthetic transformations, highlighting their significance and synthetic utility.

We report a new method for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of α-allene quaternary centers in fully substituted cyclohexanones at the α-positions. This reaction involves asymmetric 1,2-carbonyl addition to 2--propargyl enones using a mixture of Grignard reagents and the PMP-H8-BINOL ligand. The resulting magnesium alkoxide chelate intermediate then activated the propargyl vinyl ether moiety, thereby triggering a cascade propargyl Claisen rearrangement in a diastereoselective manner.
