Abstract
Psychedelics make up a group of psychoactive compounds that induce hallucinogenic effects by activating the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR). Clinical trials have demonstrated the traditional psychedelic substances like psilocybin as a class of rapid-acting and long-lasting antidepressants. However, there is a pressing need for rationally designed 5-HT2AR agonists that possess optimal pharmacological profiles in order to fully reveal the therapeutic potential of these agonists and identify safer drug candidates devoid of hallucinogenic effects. This Perspective provides an overview of the structure-activity relationships of existing 5-HT2AR agonists based on their chemical classifications and discusses recent advancements in understanding their molecular pharmacology at a structural level. The encouraging clinical outcomes of psychedelics in depression treatment have sparked drug discovery endeavors aimed at developing novel 5-HT2AR agonists with improved subtype selectivity and signaling bias properties, which could serve as safer and potentially nonhallucinogenic antidepressants. These efforts can be significantly expedited through the utilization of structure-based methods and functional selectivity-directed screening.

Abstract
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a semisynthetic ergoline alkaloid analogue and hallucinogen, is a potent psychoplastogen with promising therapeutic potential. While a variety of synthetic strategies for accessing ergoline alkaloids have emerged, the complexity of the tetracyclic ring system results in distinct challenges in preparing analogues with novel substitution patterns. Methods of modulating the hallucinogenic activity of LSD by functionalization at previously inaccessible positions are of continued interest, and efficient syntheses of the ergoline scaffold are integral toward this purpose. Here, we report novel C-C bond forming strategies for preparing the ergoline tetracyclic core, focusing on the relatively unexplored strategy of bridging the B- and D-ring systems last. Following cross-coupling to first join the A- and D-rings, we explored a variety of methods for establishing the C-ring, including intramolecular α-arylation, borrowing hydrogen alkylation, and rhodium-catalyzed C-H insertion. Our results led to a seven-step formal synthesis of LSD and the first methods for readily introducing substitution on the C-ring. These strategies are efficient for forming ergoline-like tetracyclic compounds and analogues, though they each face unique challenges associated with elaboration to ergoline natural products. Taken together, these studies provide important insights that will guide future synthetic strategies toward ergolines.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of (+)-isolysergol was completed in 18 steps, and an overall yield of 11% was obtained from (2R)-(+)-phenyloxirane as a chiral pool. Key features of the synthesis include a stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar addition of nitrone with terminal olefin and a Cope elimination to furnish the D ring. A rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular [3 + 2] annulation of a benzene ring with α-imino carbenoid was designed to afford the 3,4-fused indole scaffold at the late stage of the synthesis.

Abstract
A modular synthesis of highly substituted 3-azapyrroles has been developed using a three-step sequence comprising copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), N-H bond insertion, and cyclodehydration. 1-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles (1-STs) can be accessed from common alkyne and sulfonyl azide building blocks by CuAAC using CuTC. Rhodium(II)-acetate-promoted 1-ST denitrogenation results in highly electrophilic rhodium azavinyl carbenes that, here, underwent insertion into the N-H bond of secondary α-aminoketones to form 1,2-aminoalkenes. These products were cyclized and dehydrated using BF3·OEt2 into highly substituted 3-azapyrroles. The three steps (CuAAC, N-H bond insertion, and cyclodehydration) could be telescoped into a one-pot process. The method proved to be highly efficient and tolerated a wide range of substituents.

Abstract
Key transformations in a four-step synthesis of the ergot alkaloid scaffold include a novel cesium carbonate-mediated hydrogen autotransfer alkylation to generate the C(3)-C(4) bond and an intramolecular Heck reaction that directly establishes the C(9)-C(10) alkene of methyl lysergate. An ester reduction and a streamlined experimental procedure establish a readily scalable, expedient total synthesis of all four stereoisomers of lysergol and isolysergol, including the previously unknown (-)-lysergol, for pharmacological evaluation at 5-HT1A and 5HT2A,B,C receptors. A bicyclic scaffold is also characterized for the first time in the intramolecular Heck coupling.

Abstract
Alkaloids are a wide family of basic N-containing natural products, whose research has revealed bioactive compounds of pharmacological interest. Studies on these compounds have focused more attention on those produced by plants, although other types of organisms have also been proven to synthesize bioactive alkaloids, such as animals, marine organisms, bacteria, and fungi. This review covers the findings of the last 20 years (2002–2022) related to the isolation, structures, and biological activities of the alkaloids produced by mushrooms, a fungal subgroup, and their potential to develop drugs and agrochemicals. In some cases, the synthesis of the reviewed compounds and structure−activity relationship studies have been described.

Abstract
The ability of [1,2,3]triazolobenzoxazinones to act as a source of "hidden" diazo group was discovered. These diazo precursors can be easily prepared by the intramolecular cyclization of 2-(5-iodo-1,2,3-triazolyl)benzoic acids. The Cu-catalyzed capture of the hidden diazo group allows for further functionalization through the denitrogenative pathway. The transformations proceed via the formation of either diazoimine or diazoamide intermediates. Novel routes to various anthranilamides as well as thiolated benzoxazinones were developed using the one-pot cyclization/diazo capture procedure.

Abstract
Biomimetic natural product synthesis is generally straightforward and efficient because of its established feasibility in nature and utility in comprehensive synthesis, and the cost-effectiveness of naturally derived starting materials. On the other hand, nonbiomimetic strategies can be an important option in natural product synthesis since (1) nonbiomimetic synthesis offers more flexibility and can demonstrate the originality of chemists, and (2) the structures of derivatives accessible by nonbiomimetic synthesis can be considerably different from those that are synthesised in nature. This review summarises nonbiomimetic total syntheses of indole alkaloids using alkyne chemistry for constructing core structures, including ergot alkaloids, monoterpene indole alkaloids (mainly corynanthe, aspidosperma, strychnos, and akuammiline), and pyrroloindole and related alkaloids. To clarify the differences between alkyne-based strategies and biosynthesis, the alkynes in nature and the biosyntheses of indole alkaloids are also outlined.

Abstract
Biomimetic total syntheses of Festuclavine and Pyroclavine were achieved by a sequential radical coupling. The key steps include intramolecular decarboxylative Giese reaction to form the central C ring and 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (Ns)-directed indole C4-H olefination to introduce the indole C4 component. In addition, D-ring formation was completed by decarboxylative alkenylation and intramolecular SN2 reaction.

Abstract
An efficient rhodium-catalyzed method for direct C-H functionalization at the C4 position of unprotected indoles has been developed. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the concise total syntheses of agroclavine and elymoclavine in a divergent manner. These syntheses feature a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction to assemble the triyclic indole moiety, and a ring-closing metathesis reaction to form the D ring.

Abstract
A new approach for the divergent total synthesis of eight ergot alkaloids is reported. The approach allows the first total syntheses of pyroclavine, pibocin A, 9-deacetoxyfumigaclavine C, and fumigaclavine G and also enables the efficient synthesis of festuclavine, costaclavine, epi-costaclavine, and dihydrosetoclavine. The main feature of the synthesis is the use of an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Larock indole annulation/Tsuji-Trost allylation cascade to assemble the tetracyclic core in one step.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of (+)-lysergol was completed in 12 steps and an overall yield of 13% starting from a known literature precursor. The key step relies on a domino reaction containing a formal anti-carbopalladation, which is terminated by a β-silyl-directed Heck reaction. During this transformation, the two six-membered rings of the ergot scaffold are formed in a completely stereospecific manner.
