Article Abstract
A cascade Nazarov cyclization/dicycloexpansions reaction was developed for the precise synthesis of the angularly fused M/5/N (M=5, 6; N=4-9, 13) tricyclic skeletons. The prioritized expansion of the first ring played a critical role in the transformations, due to the release of ring strain, and the nature of the substituents present on the substrate is another influencing factor. This pioneering cascade reaction features broad substrates scope (33 examples), short reaction time, exceptional yields (up to 95 %), and remarkable regioselectivities (>20 : 1). Exploiting the synthetic application of this cascade reaction, we successfully executed a succinct total synthesis of nominal madreporanone for the first time.

The first successful fragment coupling/cationic cascade approach for the synthesis of a complex indoloditerpenoid tubingensin A is described. The synthesis is the first example of a novel disconnection strategy targeting a central quaternary carbon locus. A -Prins/-Nazarov cationic cascade sequence enabled the rapid preparation of a complex intermediate as a single diastereomer, containing the vicinal quaternary centers found in the backbone stereotriad.

We describe a new one-pot synthesis to access richly functionalized tetrahydroindoles and related fused pyrroles. The key to this transformation is a robust cascade cyclization between ene-yne sulfides and azodicarboxylates involving diazacyclobutene formation primed for rapid electrocyclic ring opening to an α-iminothioimidate intermediate, followed by cyclization and aromatization to yield the -heterocycles in good yields. This tactic represents a significant departure from conventional approaches to the tetrahydroindole motif, which typically involve either staging the 140-year-old Paal-Knorr cyclization or leveraging transition metal catalysis.

The family of diterpenoids represents a captivating class of natural products that are of significant interest from both structural and biological perspectives within our community. Here we wish to report a 15-step, enantioselective total synthesis of the diterpenoid fortalpinoid Q. Our approach highlights (1) a Jacobsen's catalytic enantioselective Claisen rearrangement that enabled the single-step formation of two vicinal stereogenic centers, including an all-carbon quaternary center; (2) a mild, oxoammonium salt (TEMPOBF)-promoted dehydrative Nazarov cyclization that swiftly forged the crucial cyclopentadiene moiety via an unfunctionalized tertiary divinyl carbinol (TDC) substrate; and (3) a facile aldol-lactonization cascade that ultimately resolved the last obstacle in the synthesis.

This manuscript describes a study of diverse reaction outcomes that stem from the ionization of -alkynyl-Prins adducts. Experimental results have demonstrated unexpected behavior in the nitrogen-containing systems compared to the analogous oxygen derivatives derived from -Prins/-Nazarov sequences. In-depth experimental studies and computational analysis revealed an intricate mechanism involving competing -Nazarov and -Nazarov pathways.
