Abstract
Catalytic C(sp3)-H functionalization has afforded great opportunities to prepare organic substances, facilitating the derivatization of complex drugs and natural molecules. This letter describes an efficient and practical protocol for lanthanum-catalyzed continuous epoxy-ring opening and oxidative dehydrogenative lactonization under visible-light irradiation. Notably, the lanthanum catalyst also acts as a photocatalyst while acting as a Lewis acid in this reaction; therefore, no additional photocatalyst is required. We can conveniently prepare a series of diverse isochromanones with oxygen-containing spirocyclic structural units under a balloon-oxygen atmosphere at room temperature. Mechanistic studies and control experiments reveal that the in situ-generated lanthanum bromide should be crucial in the reaction.

Abstract
Substrates engineered to undergo a 1,4-C-H insertion to yield benzocyclobutenes resulted in a novel elimination reaction to yield ortho-quinone dimethide (o-QDM) intermediates that undergo Diels-Alder or hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions. The analogous benzylic acetals or ethers avoid the C-H insertion pathway completely and, after hydride transfer, undergo a de-aromatizing elimination reaction to o-QDM at ambient temperature. The resulting dienes undergo a variety of cycloaddition reactions with high diastereo- and regio-selectivity. This is one of the few examples of catalytic generation of o-QDM without the intermediacy of a benzocyclobutene and represents one of the mildest, ambient temperature processes to access these useful intermediates. This proposed mechanism is supported by DFT calculations. Moreover, the methodology was applied to the synthesis of (±)-isolariciresinol in 41% overall yield.

Abstract
The development of an intermolecular aza-Diels-Alder (DA) cycloaddition of sultines and imines is reported. By exploiting sultines as o-quinodimethane precursors and aryl imines as dienophiles in the presence of Cu(OTf)2, an aza-DA reaction proceeds to provide a wide variety of 3-aryl tetrahydroisoquionlines in moderate to excellent yield (up to 89%). The synthetic utility of these products was demonstrated in the preparation of tetracyclic N-heterocycles, including a tetrahydroprotoberberine skeleton.

Abstract
New tunable catalytic [2+2] cycloaddition/silane-mediated conjugate transfer reductions of yne-allenones have been developed, by which substituent-diverse cyclobutarenes with generally good yields were selectively synthesized by adjusting Fe-H and Cu-H catalytic systems. Use of the Fe-H system triggers 1,6-conjugate reduction to dihydrocyclobuta[a]naphthalen-4-ols whereas the Cu-H complex enables 1,4-conjugate reduction to cyclobuta[a]naphthalen-4(2H)-ones.

Abstract
The control of chemical functionalization with orthogonal light stimuli paves the way toward manipulating materials with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. To reach this goal, we herein introduce a photochemical reaction system that enables two-color control of covalent ligation via an oxo-Diels-Alder cycloaddition between two separate light-responsive molecular entities: a UV-activated photocaged diene based on ortho-quinodimethanes and a carbonyl dienophile appended to a diarylethene photoswitch, whose reactivity can be modulated upon illumination with UV and visible light.

Abstract
A convergent strategy for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyridines is described. Vinylallenes combine with commercially available arylsulfonyl cyanides in Diels-Alder cycloadditions to generate isopyridine cycloadducts that are converted to pyridines upon further heating or addition of a base. The 2-sulfonylpyridine products undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with oxygen and carbon nucleophiles to provide access to a variety of highly substituted pyridines.

Abstract
Two methods for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyridines are described. In each strategy, a highly reactive vinylallene is generated via an intramolecular propargylic ene reaction in the presence of an azadienophile. Reactions employing ethyl N-(tosyl)iminoacetate furnish an intermediate that undergoes elimination and isomerization upon the addition of DBU. The reaction of the intermediate vinylallene with TsCN leads to the isolation of a 2-sulfonylpyridine that serves as a versatile intermediate undergoing substitution reactions with oxygen and carbon nucleophiles.

Abstract
Benzocyclobutenones 1a-1g undergo cycloreversion at 150 °C in m-xylene solvent to form transient α-oxo-ortho-quinodimethanes or "ortho-quinoid ketene methides", which engage in intermolecular [4+2] cycloadditions with isatins 2a-2f to form 2-oxindole spirolactones 3a-3l. This process tolerates an array of different functional groups and substitution patterns, and is applicable to unprotected isatins 2b-2f bearing free NH-functionalities. The superior performance of isatins compared to other carbonyl based dienophiles was demonstrated and rationalized with the aid of quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
Psymberin is a marine natural product which has attracted a great deal of interest since its isolation: While the highly cytotoxic compound was detected early on as an ingredient in a marine sponge, it took over a decade and 600 additional samples for the structure to eventually be assigned. In the last eight years fascinating synthetic and biosynthetic investigations have led to a more detailed understanding as well as a new starting point for structure-activity studies towards new antitumor compounds. The Review gives an in-depth insight into the progress in the field of the marine polyketide psymberin and demonstrates how organic synthesis is influencing neighboring scientific subjects.

Abstract
This Account describes how attractive interactions of aromatic rings with other groups can influence and control the stereoselectivity of many reactions. Recent developments in theory have improved the accuracy in the modeling of aromatic interactions. Quantum mechanical modeling can now provide insights into the roles of these interactions at a level of detail not previously accessible, both for ground-state species and for transition states of chemical reactions. In this Account, we show how transition-state modeling led to the discovery of the influence of aryl groups on the stereoselectivities of several types of organic reactions, including asymmetric dihydroxylations, transfer hydrogenations, hetero-Diels-Alder reactions, acyl transfers, and Claisen rearrangements. Our recent studies have also led to a novel mechanistic picture for two classes of (4 + 3) cycloadditions, both of which involve reactions of furans with oxyallyl intermediates. The first class of cycloadditions, developed by Hsung, features neutral oxyallyl intermediates that contain a chiral oxazolidinone auxiliary. Originally, it was thought that these cycloadditions relied on differential steric crowding of the two faces of a planar intermediate. Computations reveal a different picture and show that cycloaddition with furan takes place preferentially through the more crowded transition state: the furan adds on the same side as the Ph substituent of the oxazolidinone. The crowded transition state is stabilized by a CH-π interaction between furan and Ph worth approximately 2 kcal/mol. Attractive interactions with aromatic rings also control the stereoselectivity in a second class of (4+3) cycloadditions involving chiral alkoxy siloxyallyl cations. Alkoxy groups derived from chiral α-methylbenzyl alcohols favor crowded transition states, where a stabilizing CH-π interaction is present between the furan and the Ar group. The cationic cycloadditions are stepwise, while the Hsung cycloadditions are concerted. Our results suggest that this form of CH- π-directed stereocontrol is quite general and likely controls the stereoselectivities of other addition reactions in which one face of a planar intermediate bears a pendant aromatic substituent.

Abstract
We describe a convergent, enantioselective synthesis of (-)-tetracycline (1) from benzoic acid (17 steps, 1.1% yield). Benzoic acid was transformed into the AB precursor 2 in 10 steps (11% yield), as previously described, and the latter compound was activated toward Diels-Alder cycloaddition by the introduction of an alpha-phenylthio group (two steps, 66% yield). Heating of the resulting alpha-(phenylthio)enone (3) with the triethylsilyloxybenzocyclobutene derivative 4 at 85 degrees C gave the endo-Diels Alder adduct 5 in 64% yield. Deprotection and oxidation of the latter intermediate gave the 2-(phenylthio)-1,3-diketone 7, which was oxidized with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The sulfoxide intermediate(s) formed eliminated upon warming to 35 degrees C to give the anyhydrotetracycline derivative 8. Intermediate 8 underwent spontaneous autoxidation at 23 degrees C to form the hydroperoxide keto-9 stereoselectively. Without isolation, hydrogenolysis of 9 in the presence of palladium black gave (-)-tetracycline (42% yield from 7), indistinguishable from an authentic sample.

Abstract
We have investigated the solid-state photobehavior of a broad set of pyridine-3-carboxaldehydes 1-5. The introduction of a heteroatom into mesitaldehydes as in aldehydes 1 raises the question of conformational preference in the solid state. The preferred conformations have been unequivocally established from X-ray crystal structure analyses of two of the aldehydes, 1c and 2c; it is shown that intramolecular hydrogen bonding could be utilized to achieve conformational control. In contrast to mesitaldehydes, which undergo efficient photocyclization to benzocyclobutenols in the solid state, the heteroatom analogues 1b and 1c exhibit a perceptible color change (from colorless to pale yellow for 1b and yellow-orange for 1c) upon UV irradiation; the color attributed to (E)-enols is persistent for several hours. Continued irradiation leads to an intractable polymeric material. The AM1 calculations, which have been reliably applied to the thermal cyclization of xylylenols to benzocyclobutenols, reveal that the (E)-enols of 1 are more stable than those of the mesitaldehydes relative to their corresponding benzocyclobutenols. The stabilization is interpreted as arising from the possibility of engaging the heteroatom in resonance delocalization. That the contribution from such a role of the nitrogen atom is so pronounced is elegantly demonstrated by forming the fluoroborate salts; 1a-HBF(4) and 1b-HBF(4) readily exhibit highly red-shifted absorption upon exposure to UV radiation as a result of stabilization of the photoenols. Notably, such a remarkable stabilization via electronic control of the photoenols is unprecedented. All of the 2-methoxy- and 2-chloro-substituted aldehydes 2-5 exhibit photochromism. Ab initio calculations show that the methoxy group in aldehydes 2 and 3 stabilizes the (E)-enols via O[bond]H...O hydrogen bonding as compared to those of 1 by 5-6 kcal/mol relative to their corresponding benzocyclobutenols. Thus, the presence of methoxy and halo groups at position 2 serves not only to direct the formyl oxygen toward the methyl group for H-abstraction but also to stabilize the (E)-enols.

Abstract
The regioselectivities of Diels-Alder reactions of 1-methoxy-4-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene and the corresponding o-xylylene with acrylonitrile were explored with density functional theory. The transition state of the reaction of the diene with acrylonitrile was studied in both the gas phase and in a low dielectric (epsilon = 2.247) solvent. The regioselectivities of these reactions are predicted to be controlled by the direct electrostatic interactions between the diene and dienophile substituents. The electron-donating capacities of methoxy and trimethylsiloxy substituents are shown to be very similar and to not contribute to regioselectivity control. A prediction is made that the cycloadditions of the o-xylylene will be unselective, while 1-methoxy-4-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene will give a small preference ( approximately 5:1) in favor of the proximal methoxy and cyano groups. The thermochromic behavior of trans-disubstituted disiloxy benzocyclobutene was also explored.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The reaction of o-quinodimethanes (oQDMs) with alkoxy alkynyl Fischer carbene complexes is highly dependent on the carbene complex. Thus, for arylalkynyl carbene complexes, the initial [4 + 2]-cycloadduct evolves opening a new entry to the benzo[b]fluorene skeleton, which is present in many natural products. However, for alkenylalkynyl carbene complexes, the reaction takes place through the double bond, instead of the triple bond, in an unprecedented fashion, leading to new functionalized alkynyl carbene complexes.

Abstract
The (4R)-hydroxylated analogues of annonaceous acetogenin mimicking compound 2 were designed and synthesized structurally on the basis of the naturally occurring annonaceous acetogenin bullatacin, which was discovered as a typical member of the novel family of polyketides with potent cytotoxicity, antitumoral, and other biological activities. The preliminary screenings show that the IC(50) values of 2 were 1.6 x 10(-3) and 8 x 10(-2) microg/mL against HT-29 and HCT-8, respectively. A remarkable enhancement effect was observed by the activity comparison of 1c and its (4R)-hydroxylated analogue 2.
