In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

Extremophilic fungi have been found to develop unique defences to survive extremes of
pressure, temperature, salinity, desiccation, and pH, leading to the biosynthesis of novel …

Reported here is a concise total synthesis of (−)‐berkelic acid in eight linear steps. This
synthesis features a Catellani reaction/oxa‐Michael cascade for the construction of the …

The spiroketal moiety is an important privileged scaffold that occurs extensively in natural
products, drugs, and bioactive molecules. Naturally occurring spiroketals are numerous …

Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS) consists of generating structurally diverse compounds
from a complexity-generating reaction followed by cyclization steps and appendage …

An unprecedented palladium (II)-catalyzed ortho-alkylation of N-methoxybenzamide with
epoxides has been applied to the total synthesis of the isochroman natural product (–) …

We successfully developed (1) scalable synthesis of the triol segment and (2) regio-and
stereoselective synthesis of the tetracyclic skeleton by tandem spiroacetal/pyran formation …

Development of a synthetic route to the oxaphenalenone (OP) natural products
neonectrolides B–E is described. The synthesis relies on gold-catalyzed 6-endo-dig …

We herein report an eight-step asymmetric synthesis of (–)-berkelic acid. This work features
a sequential Catellani-type reaction/oxa-Michael addition with epoxides as dual …

Seven lignans were isolated from 70% aqueous acetone extracts of the twigs and leaves of
Horsfieldia kingii. Among these, new compounds 1–3 were identified by spectroscopic …
