Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction between 2-oxyacrylates and aryl bromides was developed, where DavePhos was a unique ligand that efficiently promoted the reaction. The products, 2-oxycinnamates, served as excellent precursors, providing synthetically useful monoaryl pyruvates or ortho ester-protected monoaryl pyruvates depending on the nature of the 2-oxy group. The formation of such ortho esters via alkoxide addition is novel, and computational studies identified a plausible mechanism with an oxyallyl zwitterion as the key intermediate.

Abstract
Through the use of model studies, an approach was conceived towards the synthesis of the taiwanschirin family of natural products. These are structurally complex compounds which represent highly challenging and biologically active targets for total synthesis. This work describes a successful synthesis of the complex taiwanschirin fused [8,6,5] core through a novel alkynylation reaction coupled with an intramolecular Heck reaction used to construct the 8-membered ring.

Abstract
In this review we focus on applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable and efficient substrates to perform various classes of two-component and multi-component organic reactions. The article has classified them according to two aspects, which are: (i) a focus on the reaction medium (solvent-free conditions, aqueous media, and organic solvents); and (ii) an examination of product structures. Reaction accomplishment under solvent-free conditions is an eco-friendly process with the absence of volatile toxic solvents, which puts it in line with green chemistry goals. Water is an interesting choice in organic transformations due to its inexpensiveness and safety. The authors hope their assessment will help chemists to attain new approaches for utilizing alkyl orthoesters in various organic synthetic methods. The review covers the corresponding literature up to the beginning of 2020. In this review we focus on applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable and efficient substrates to perform various classes of two-component and multi-component organic reactions.![]()

Abstract
Lamellarins are marine alkaloids containing fused 14-phenyl-6H-[1]benzopyrano[4',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline or non-fused 3,4-diarylpyrrole-2-carboxylate ring systems. To date, more than 50 lamellarins have been isolated from a variety of marine organisms, such as mollusks, tunicates, and sponges. Many of them, especially fused type I lamellarins, exhibit impressive biological activity, such as potent cytotoxicity, topoisomerase I inhibition, protein kinases inhibition, and anti-HIV-1 activity. Due to their useful biological activity and limited availability from natural sources, a number of synthetic methods have been developed. In this chapter, we present an updated and comprehensive review on lamellarin alkaloids summarizing their isolation, synthesis, and biological activity.

Abstract
Enolate arylation of a protected pyruvate is used as a key step in the short and efficient syntheses of the lamellarins.
Pyruvic acid and other α-keto acids are frequently encountered as intermediates in metabolic pathways, yet their application in total synthesis has met with limited success. In this work, we present a bioinspired strategy that utilizes highly functionalized OBO (oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octyl) orthoester masked α-ketoacids as key intermediates for the construction of both type I and II lamellarin alkaloids. Lamellarin D was synthesized, via a key 1,4-dicarbonyl, in 7 steps and 22% yield from pyruvic acid. Key steps in the synthesis involve one-pot double enolate functionalisation of 1 followed by double annulation to form the target pyrrole/N-vinyl pyrrole core and late-stage direct C–H arylation. Lastly, a novel OBO-masked β-cyano ketone, synthesized from 1, proved to be a valuable intermediate for construction of the type II lamellarin core via HBr-mediated cyclisation. In this way, lamellarin Q was synthesized in 7 steps and 20% yield from pyruvic acid.
