Total synthesis of putative montamine and a proposed structural reassignment.

Biomimetic total synthesis of litseaverticillols B, E, I, and J and structural reassignment of litseaverticillol E.

[reaction: see text] The first total synthesis of litseaverticillols B (1), E (2), I (4), and J (5) as well as the structural reassignment of litseaverticillol E (2) have been achieved by means of a biomimetic sequence of transformations during which a [4 + 2]-initiated reaction cascade and an ene reaction, both involving singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), formed key steps. The reassignment of the struc...

Synthesis of (−)‐Cannabimovone and Structural Reassignment of Anhydrocannabimovone through Gold(I)‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization

The first total synthesis of cannabimovone from Cannabis sativa and anhydrocannabimovone was achieved by means of a highly stereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization. The results led to reassignment of the structure of anhydrocannabimovone.

Bioinspired total synthesis and structural revision of yuremamine, an alkaloid from the entheogenic plant Mimosa tenuiflora.

Guided by a biosynthetic hypothesis, a serendipitous total synthesis of yuremamine has resulted in its structural revision from the putative pyrroloindole (1) to the flavonoidal indole (2), which was initially proposed as a biosynthetic intermediate.

Total synthesis and structural reassignment of (+)-dictyosphaeric acid A: a tandem intramolecular Michael addition/alkene migration approach.

Enantioselective total synthesis of the reported structures of (-)-9-epi-presilphiperfolan-1-ol and (-)-presilphiperfolan-1-ol: structural confirmation and reassignment and biosynthetic insights.
