Article Abstract
We report an unprecedented domino polycyclization from readily available 2,4-dienals and cyclic α,β-unsaturated imines that is initiated by an iso-Nazarov reaction. This Brønsted acid promoted reaction enables the concomitant formation of four bonds, three cycles, and four contiguous stereogenic centers to yield elaborated structures in a single operation. A range of fused hexacyclic molecules is obtained in a highly diastereoselective manner.

We herein report a palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck/C(sp)-H activation/[4 + 2] decarboxylative cyclization of C2-tethered indoles. In this transformation, the alkylpalladium(II) species generated by indole dearomatization undergoes C-H activation to form ,-palladacycles, which are subsequently trapped by -bromobenzoic acids or cyclic β-bromoacrylic acids, enabling regio- and diastereoselective construction of hexacyclic and octocyclic fused indolines with a broad substrate scope.

Asperustins K-P (-), six unreported chlorinated austocystins, were isolated from NRRL 5856. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Asperustin K () features an unprecedented carbon skeleton with a 6/6/6/5/5/6/6/6 fused octacyclic ring system, while asperustin L () represents a distinctive carbon skeleton with a 6/6/6/5/5/5 hexacyclic ring system.

A Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of iodoalkynones with propargylic ethers bearing indole-tethered unactivated alkenes, followed by an Alder-ene reaction and a Diels-Alder cycloaddition, provides access to various hexacyclic heterocycles containing a dihydropyrido[1,2-]indole scaffold. When similar -propargylic allylic ethers were applied to the reaction, polycyclic compounds containing pyrido[1,2-]indole scaffolds could be obtained after treatment of the fused cyclic products with trifluoroacetic acid. The method features a broad substrate scope, high stereoselectivity, and mild reaction conditions.
