A concise and highly stereoselective total synthesis of the Daphniphyllum alkaloids (−)‐
daphenylline has been accomplished. The synthesis was started from (S)‐carvone and …

Whereas most organic molecules can be synthesized from progressively simpler substrates,
syntheses of complex organic targets often involve counterintuitive sequence of steps that …

The Robinson annulation represents a tandem process including the Michael addition and
intramolecular Aldol condensation, affording biscyclo [4.4. 0]-1-decen-3-one skeleton with …

Copper-catalyzed radical methylation of 1, 3-diketones with tert-butyl peroxybenzoate in air
is described, providing a general pathway to α-methyl 1, 3-diketones in moderate to good …

We present a novel and effective photocatalytic method for the methylation of β‐diketones
with controllable degrees of deuterium incorporation via development of new methyl …

A stereocontrolled approach to the cis-decalin framework of clerodane diterpenes and
biologically active quinone sesquiterpenes is reported. Starting from an inexpensive …

Abstract A novel and stereoselective 1, 2-rearrangement of Swaminathan ketone derivatives
bearing a 7-membered ring under solvolysis conditions afforded new bicyclic structures …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a coordination architecture with a Fe (II)
center obtained by subcomponent self-assembly in water. The complex is based on very …

A chiral tricyclic terpene possessing a 6, 6, 6-tricyclic framework and a 3, 3-dimethyl-7-
oxooctylidenyl side chain undergoes a double ring-closing reaction to give two chiral …

The first total synthesis of isospongian diterpenoid (±)‐polyrhaphin D has been
accomplished in 9 steps with 19% overall yield starting from the Wieland–Miescher ketone …
