The possibility of a single-stage solvent-free stereoselective synthesis of a spirocyclic compound from the natural bicyclic monoterpenoid (-)-fenchone and anthranilamide has been shown for the first time. The molecular and crystal structure of (1R,2S,4S)-1,3,3-trimethyl-1'H-spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2'-quinazolin]-4'(3'H)-one, CHNO, was established by X-ray diffraction though the chirality was assumed via the known reactant connectivity and H and C NMR spectroscopy. It has shown that in the molecule, for steric reasons, there is an elongation of the MeC-C(N)N bond to 1.603 (5) Å. The formation of dimers via N-H...O=C hydrogen bonds with an interaction energy of 93.30 kJ mol and through cavities (33.7% of the unit-cell volume) was established in the packing of the molecules. There are no π-stacking interactions in the structure.

Natural products exhibit a wide range of biological activities and are the crucial resources for drug development and compound modification. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s, CYP) are a class of multifunctional and stereoselective biocatalysts that utilize heme as a cofactor and can be employed in the biosynthesis of natural products. With the development of biotechnology, P450s have been widely applied in the synthesis of natural products.

Under visible-light photocatalysis facilitated by cobalt coordination, a highly regio- and stereoselective cycloisomerization reaction of 1,6-enynes has been developed. This method enables the efficient synthesis of various skipped 1,4-diene products with excellent stereoselectivity, using commercially available cobalt catalysts, ligands, and reagents. Notably, the reaction exhibits remarkable regioselectivity (>20:1), stereoselectivity (/ > 20:1), and high yields (58-92%) under mild conditions, along with a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

Nonreducing disaccharides are prevalent in non-mammalian glycans and glycolipids, serving as pivotal structural components in mycobacterial glycans, microbial oligosaccharide and nucleoside antibiotics, as well as biologically active mimetics of bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). As integral components of PAMPs, 1,1'-linked disaccharide-containing biomolecules play important roles in host-pathogen interactions, cellular signaling, and pathogenesis. Accessing complex biomolecules containing nonreducing disaccharides is often hindered by difficulties in isolating them from natural sources, which can result in impure or degraded products, particularly when sensitive functional groups are involved.

Pyruvate ketal is a biologically essential moiety due to its key role as an intermediate in metabolic pathways, serving as a key precursor for the synthesis of various essential biomolecules in organisms. However, the / stereochemistry of pyruvate ketal is difficult to control through chemical methods. In this study, the acid-labile pyruvate ketal linked to the 4- and 6-positions of galactose was cautiously constructed, and the X-ray analysis of the -configured product was successfully obtained.
