Abstract
The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-penostatins B and D and the practical synthesis of (+)-penostatins A and C have been accomplished through a flexible strategy. The features of the synthesis are a BF3·OEt2-mediated Diels-Alder reaction of chiral dienophiles and methylcyclopentadienes with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, followed by ozonolysis to install the common trisubstituted cyclopentane intermediate, and a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with easily tunable facial selectivity, followed by sulfonate elimination to construct both enantiomeric tricyclic systems for penostatins A/C and B/D, respectively.

Abstract
A stereoselective and column-economic approach to (+)-penostatins A and C has been developed. The multisubstituted A ring and B/C rings in their unique tricyclic framework are constructed through a Diels-Alder reaction/ozonolysis sequence and an exo intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Using this route, (+)-penostatins A and C can be synthesized in 19 and 20 steps, respectively, with a good overall yield involving only five or six column chromatographic purifications.

Abstract
Flavonoids are a group of natural polyphenolic substances that are abundant in vegetables, fruits, grains, and tea. Chiral A-ring-containing flavonoids are an important group of natural flavonoid derivatives applicable in a wide range of biological activities such as, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibition. The desirable development of chiral A-ring-containing flavonoids by isolation, semi-synthesis or total synthesis in a short duration proves their great value in medicinal chemistry research. In this review, the research progress of chiral A-ring-containing flavonoids, including isolation and extraction, structural identification, pharmacological activities, and synthetic methods, is comprehensively and systematically summarized. Furthermore, we provide suggestions for future research on the synthesis and biomedical applications of flavonoids.

Abstract
A new synthetic strategy for C7-carbasugars is developed via an intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, in which a substituted dial precursor prepared from d-mannose cyclizes smoothly in the presence of DMAP to afford polyhydroxylated cyclohex-1-enecarbaldehyde with good yield. By employment of the cyclization products as key intermediates, the first syntheses of carbasugar ester 1 and epicorepoxydon A, as well as practical syntheses of epoxydines B and C, (-)-MK7607, (-)-streptol, and (-)-gabosine E are achieved.

Abstract
Structure-guided microtuning of an Aspergillus usamii epoxide hydrolase was executed. One mutant, A214C/A250I, displayed a 12.6-fold enhanced enantiomeric ratio (E = 202) toward rac-styrene oxide, achieving its nearly perfect kinetic resolution at 0.8 M in pure water or 1.6 M in n-hexanol/water. Several other beneficial mutants also displayed significantly improved E values, offering promising biocatalysts to access 19 structurally diverse chiral monosubstituted epoxides (97.1 - ≥ 99% ees) and vicinal diols (56.2-98.0% eep) with high yields.

Abstract
Gabosines and their natural analogues, belonging to C7 carbasugars, have attracted great attention in synthesis due to their rich structural variety and promising biological activities. A new diversity-oriented approach for the gabosine-type carbasugars based on a tunable regioselective aldol cyclization of flexible precursor 2 is explored. Two cyclization modes (A and B) of the precursor can be well controlled by switching promoters to selectively produce two resulting cyclohexa(e)nones 3 and 10, both of which are versatile intermediates for various C7 carbasugars. After the conversion of 3 to eight natural carbasugars, the utility of intermediate 10 is illustrated by the first synthesis of (-)-gabosine L, as well as the new synthesis of (-)-gabosine A, (-)-gabosine B, (-)-gabosine N and (-)-gabosine O. The chemical structure and the absolute configuration of (-)-gabosine L are confirmed by its total synthesis.

Abstract
In this work, the first example of a radical stereodivergent reaction directed towards the stereoselective synthesis of both (R*,R*)- and (R*,S*)-2,2'-biflavanones promoted by samarium diiodide is reported. Control experiments showed that the selectivity of this reaction was exclusively controlled by the temperature. It was possible to generate a variety of 2,2'-biflavanones bearing different substitution patterns at the aromatic ring in good-to-quantitative yields, being both stereoisomers of the desired compounds obtained with total or high control of selectivity. A mechanism that explains both the generation of the corresponding 2,2'-biflavanones and the selectivity is also discussed. The structure and stereochemistry determination of each isomer was unequivocally elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.

Abstract
A concise formal synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 is described. Key features involve the coupling of the multisubstituted tetrahydroisoquinoline and phenylalaninol moieties via a regio- and stereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclization as well as the subsequent chemoselective MOM protection of the phenol group, which opens a rapid access to the desirable pentacycle. The synthesis successfully delivered the advanced intermediate with the characteristic macrolactone from sesamol in 23 steps.
