Herein, we report for the first time a "-hydroboration-oxidation product" isolated and characterized under traditional hydroboration-oxidation conditions using cholesterol and diosgenin as substrates. These substrates are excellent starting materials because of the rigidity and different structural environments around the double bond. Further investigations based on experimental evidence, in conjunction with theoretical studies, indicate that the formation of this -species occurs a -hydroboration of the major product to generate the corresponding Δ-structure and the subsequent hydroboration by the β-face. Besides, the corresponding Markovnikov type products have been isolated in synthetically useful yields. The behavior of the reaction under a range of temperatures is also investigated.

We describe the first total syntheses of tabernanthine and ibogaline. Entry to these iboga alkaloid natural products is enabled by a thermal coupling of indoles and aziridines to furnish the requisite nosyl tryptamine starting materials. This route features a Friedel-Crafts type alkylation to form the key indole-isoquinuclidine C-C bond.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical health concern with high morbidity and mortality, while its effective treatment options are limited. Our previous study, identified forsyqinlingine C (FC), a novel C9-monoterpenoid alkaloid from the ripe fruit of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory activity.

The indole skeleton exists widely in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and materials. We disclose here a trifluoromethyl group induced regioselective Larock indole synthetic method from unsymmetric 2-CF-1,3-enynes. The presence of a trifluoromethyl group is determinable for the regioselectivity.

The anti-Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization of terminal, unactivated olefins is an evergreen synthetic challenge in organic chemistry. Several direct and indirect anti-Markovnikov methods have been developed, ranging from the classical hydroboration/oxidation protocol to state-of-the-art photoredox catalytic, transition-metal-complex-catalyzed, and enzymatic procedures. Despite the ever-expanding suite of synthetic capabilities, these methods still have limited generality in their substrate scope, especially with nucleophiles.

A palladium-catalyzed Heck-type cross-coupling reaction of carboranes with alkenes in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) was realized. This reaction shows good B(9) selectivity for -carboranes and is also suitable for - and -carborane. Meanwhile, a series of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted alkenes were compatible substrates to afford the alkenylated products in 16-89% yields.
