Conspectus Bridged and fused rings are commonly found in biologically important
molecules. Current tactics to construct these ring systems are primarily based on stepwise …

The divergent catalytic reactions based on C–C activation of benzocyclobutenones have
been discovered, consisting of a highly enantioselective dearomatic “Cut & Sew” …

Covering: 2006 to 2023 (−)-Galantamine is a natural product with distinctive structural
features and potent inhibitory activity against acetylcholine esterase (AChE). It is clinically …

The first enantioselective total syntheses of (−)-caulamidine D (5) and (−)-isocaulamidine D
(6) were accomplished. Their absolute configurations were unambiguously elucidated …

Herein, we describe the development of a deconstructive strategy for the first asymmetric
synthesis of (−)‐thebainone A, capitalizing on an enantioselective C− C bond activation and …

Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of sesquiterpene penicibilaenes A and B through
a “C–C/C–H” approach. In the “C–C” stage, the Rh-catalyzed “cut-and-sew” transformation …

Here, we describe a transition-metal-free condition that realized the intramolecular
acylfluorination of unactivated olefins. It was designed to access seven-membered-ring …

A reverse concerted metalation–deprotonation (CMD) process has been proposed as a key
step to rationalize our newly discovered Rh-catalyzed C–C/Colefin–H cascade reaction to …

The highly efficient synthesis of chiral indolines fused with an azabicyclo [2.2. 1] heptanone
moiety is achieved by an asymmetric dearomatization reaction of indoles with …

An asymmetric synthetic route to (−)-galanthamine (1), a pharmacologically active
Amaryllidaceae alkaloid used for the symptomatic treatment of early onset Alzheimer's …
