Abstract
Two novel dissymmetric diterpenoids, biselisabethoxanes A and B (1 and 2), were isolated from the hexane extracts of the gorgonian coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Biselisabethoxane A (1) represents the first example of a marine-derived C40 dimer made of two distinct diterpene fragments, whereas biselisabethoxane B (2) is a fused heterodimer stemming from coupling of two amphilectane-based fragments. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated based on 1D and 2D NMR spectral data analysis. The molecular structure of 1 was subsequently confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. When evaluated for their inhibitory effects in a series of well-established biological activity assays the isolated compounds were shown to moderately inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
The present review is focussed on the structural elucidation of the bicyclic and tricyclic diterpenoid title compounds isolated from Pseudopterogorgia species, displaying a direct structural relationship with the biosynthetic precursor GGPP (regular isoprenoid skeletons). A compilation of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data is presented grouped by similar spin systems. Apparent inconsistencies or potential missassignments are discussed, pointing out convenient revisions of data assignment to improve structure correlations. Some hemisynthetic intermediates in the structural elucidation process are included, as well as data of representative synthetic compounds.

Abstract
Due to their pronounced bioactivity and limited availability from natural resources, metabolites of the soft coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, such as erogorgiaene and the pseudopterosines, represent important target molecules for chemical synthesis. We have now developed a particularly short and efficient route towards these marine diterpenes exploiting an operationally convenient enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydrovinylation as the chirogenic step. Other noteworthy C-C bond forming transformations include diastereoselective Lewis acid-mediated cyclizations, a Suzuki coupling and a carbonyl ene reaction. Starting from 4-methyl-styrene the anti-tubercular agent (+)-erogorgiaene (>98 % ee) was prepared in only 7 steps with 46 % overall yield. In addition, the synthesis of the pseudopterosin A aglycone was achieved in 12 steps with 30 % overall yield and, surprisingly, was found to exhibit a similar anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition of LPS-induced NF-κB activation) as a natural mixture of pseudopterosins A-D or iso-pseudopterosin A, prepared by β-D-xylosylation of the synthetic aglycone.

Abstract
To show the synthetic utility of the catalytic C-C activation of less strained substrates, described here are the collective and concise syntheses of the natural products (-)-microthecaline A, (-)-leubehanol, (+)-pseudopteroxazole, (+)-seco-pseudopteroxazole, pseudopterosin A-F and G-J aglycones, and (+)-heritonin. The key step in these syntheses involve a Rh-catalyzed C-C/C-H activation cascade of 3-arylcyclopentanones, which provides a rapid and enantioselective route to access the polysubstituted tetrahydronaphthalene cores presented in these natural products. Other important features include 1) the direct C-H amination of the tetralone substrate in the synthesis of (-)-microthecaline A, 2) the use of phosphoric acid to enhance efficiency and regioselectivity for problematic cyclopentanone substrates in the C-C activation reactions, and 3) the direct conversion of serrulatane into amphilectane diterpenes by an allylic cyclodehydrogenation coupling.

Abstract
Over the years, Friedel-Crafts (FC) reactions have been acknowledged as the most useful and powerful synthetic tools for the construction of a special kind of carbon-carbon bond involving an aromatic moiety. Its stoichiometric and, more recently, its catalytic procedures have extensively been studied. This reaction in recent years has frequently been used as a key step (steps) in the total synthesis of natural products and targeted complex bioactive molecules. In this review, we try to underscore the applications of intermolecular and intramolecular FC reactions in the total syntheses of natural products and complex molecules, exhibiting diverse biological properties.

Abstract
In this paper, a concise route for the synthesis of 1-vinylindanes is described, including (i) NaBH4-mediated reduction of o-cinnamyl chalcones and (ii) sequential BF3·OEt2-mediated intramolecular annulation of the resulting alkenols. The plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed herein. This protocol provides highly effective stereocontrolled cinnamyl-enone cross-coupling to construct three contiguous trans- trans stereocenters and one ( E)-configured alkenyl or styryl group.

Abstract
A stereogenic center, placed at an exocyclic location next to a chiral carbon in a ring to which it is attached, is a ubiquitous structural motif seen in many bioactive natural products, including di- and triterpenes and steroids. Installation of these centers has been a long-standing problem in organic chemistry. Few classes of compounds illustrate this problem better than serrulatanes and amphilectanes, which carry multiple methyl-bearing exocyclic chiral centers. Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation (AHV) of vinylarenes and 1,3-dienes such as 1-vinylcycloalkenes provides an exceptionally facile way of introducing these chiral centers. This Article documents our efforts to demonstrate the generality of AHV to access not only the natural products but also their various diastereoisomeric derivatives. Key to success here is the availability of highly tunable phosphoramidite Ni(II) complexes useful for overcoming the inherent selectivity of the chiral intermediates. The yields for hydrovinylation (HV) reactions are excellent, and selectivities are in the range of 92-99% for the desired isomers. Discovery of novel, configurationally fluxional, yet sterically less demanding 2,2'-biphenol-derived phosphoramidite Ni complexes (fully characterized by X-ray) turned out to be critical for success in several HV reactions. We also report a less spectacular yet equally important role of solvents in a metal-ammonia reduction for the installation of a key benzylic chiral center. Starting with simple oxygenated styrene derivatives, we iteratively install the various exocyclic chiral centers present in typical serrulatane [e.g., a (+)- p-benzoquinone natural product, elisabethadione, nor-elisabethadione, helioporin D, a known advanced intermediate for the synthesis of colombiasin and elisapterosin] and amphilectane [e.g., A-F, G-J, and K,L pseudopterosins] derivatives. A concise table showing various synthetic approaches to these molecules is included in the Supporting Information. Our attempts to synthesize a hitherto elusive target, elisabethin A, led to a stereoselective, biomimetic route to pseudopterosin A-F aglycones.

Abstract
The pool of abundant chiral terpene building blocks (i.e., "chiral pool terpenes") has long served as a starting point for the chemical synthesis of complex natural products, including many terpenes themselves. As inexpensive and versatile starting materials, such compounds continue to influence modern synthetic chemistry. This review highlights 21st century terpene total syntheses which themselves use small, terpene-derived materials as building blocks. An outlook to the future of research in this area is highlighted as well.

Abstract
Pseudopterosins and pseudopteroxazole are intriguing marine natural products that possess notable antimicrobial activity with a commensurate lack of cytotoxicity. New semi-synthetic pseudopteroxazoles, pseudopteroquinoxalines and pseudopterosin congeners along with simple synthetic mimics of the terpene skeleton were synthesized. In order to build structure-activity relationships, a set of 29 new and previously reported compounds was assessed for invitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. A number of congeners exhibited antimicrobial activity against a range of Gram-positive bacteria including Mycobacteriumtuberculosis H37Rv, with four displaying notable antitubercular activity against both replicating and non-replicating persistent forms of M.tuberculosis. One new semi-synthetic compound, 21-((1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl)-pseudopteroxazole (7a), was more potent than the natural products pseudopterosin and pseudopteroxazole and exhibited equipotent activity against both replicating and non-replicating persistent forms of M.tuberculosis with a near absence of invitro cytotoxicity. Pseudopteroxazole also exhibited activity against strains of M.tuberculosis H37Rv resistant to six clinically used antibiotics.

Abstract
Rapid one-pot methodologies to prepare pseudopteroxazole (1) and novel congeners from abundant natural pseudopterosins have been devised. This is highlighted here with the first synthesis of the marine natural product homopseudopteroxazole (2) utilizing a novel, silver(I)-mediated catechol to benzoxazole transformation. Pseudopteroxazoles and isopseudopteroxazoles exhibit potent activity against a range of important Gram-positive pathogens including Mycobacterium spp. and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. Several non-natural pseudopteroxazoles exhibited strong activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, thereby displaying a broader spectrum of antibiotic activity compared to pseudopteroxazole.

Abstract
Marine diterpene glycosides (MDGs) respresent a small but highly significant group of the much larger class of marine diterpenes. The three well-studied examples of MDGs are eleutherobins, pseudopterosins and fuscosides, all of which exhibit extremely promising biological activity. The eleutherobins are potent anti-mitotic agents, and the pseudopterosins and fuscosides are potent anti-inflammatory agents. This review discusses the structures and biological activities of these compounds, as well as their biosynthesis and synthesis.

The synthesis and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of a series of pseudopterosin analogues are presented. Synthetic tricyclic catechol aglycons with different substitution patterns were monofucosylated or -xylosylated. Anti-inflammatory activity was conserved over a wide range of structural modifications. The most active synthetic compound 33 reduced phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced inflammation in the mouse ear by 72% at 50 μg/ear. This corresponds to 80% of the activity of natural pseudopterosin A.

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of the central core of helioporins, seco-pseudopterosins and pseudopterosins in racemic form is reported, using a Suzuki coupling (A-ring formation)-Friedel-Crafts acylation sequence, followed by synthetic elaboration of the resulting tetralone derivative. Key steps of the method are a totally diastereoselective cuprate conjugate addition and a final, spontaneous Friedel-Crafts acylation.

Abstract
trans-7,8-dimethoxy-11,12-dehydrocalamenene, a projected intermediate for the total synthesis of marine serrulatane and amphilectane diterpenes, was efficiently synthesized. Starting from a styrene, asymmetric Rh-catalyzed hydroboration using a novel chiral P,P-bidentate ligand afforded an organoboron intermediate (93% ee) which was directly used for C-C bond formation (double homologation, Suzuki coupling). The 1,4-trans-disubstituted tetralin skeleton was selectively formed by a Friedel-Crafts-type cationic cyclization under strictly aprotic conditions (Me2AlCl) to suppress a remarkable proton-catalyzed disproportionation via diastereoselective hydride transfer.

Abstract
These studies were conducted to determine the discrepancies between the spectroscopic data of the isolated and synthetic samples of the marine natural product (+)-elisabethadione. Attempts at the re-isolation of (+)-elisabethadione from Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae were unsuccessful, but during these efforts, two related natural products of O-methylelisabethadione (8) and O-methyl-nor-elisabethadione (9) were discovered. The total syntheses of these new natural products were accomplished by using the combined C-H activation/Cope rearrangement as the key step and the previously synthesized elisabethadione was converted to O-methylelisabethadione. These studies confirmed that the synthetic sample of (+)-elisabthadione was assigned the correct structure. The considerable differences in the data between the synthetic and natural samples of (+)-elisabethadione lead to the conclusion that the structure of the natural material was either miss-assigned or the published spectral data were incorrect. During the course of these studies, questions arose about the assigned structure of another natural product, elisabethamine, which was proposed to be an aminohydroquinone. Attempts at the synthesis of this compound revealed that the aminohydroquinone structure was unstable in air as it was readily oxidized to the quinone.

Abstract
Amphilectosins A and B have been identified from the organic extract of Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae collected in the Florida Keys, along with seco-pseudopterosins and pseudopterosins. The structures of the amphilectosins, "C-12-C-13 dehydro seco-pseudopterosins", suggested that these metabolites provide the biosynthetic link between the seco-pseudopterosins (serrulatane diterpenes) and pseudopterosins (amphilectane diterpenes). This biosynthetic relationship was confirmed through various radiolabeling experiments. Incubation studies with the amphilectosins revealed the selective transformation of amphilectosin A to pseudopterosin Y and the transformation of amphilectosin B to pseudopterosin F, which suggests that the alpha/beta stereochemistry for the isobutenyl group in the pseudopterosins arises from the selective ring closure of the cis- and trans-amphilectosins.

Abstract
As part of an ongoing program to explore the chemical constituents of Caribbean marine invertebrates, a family of 13 new diterpene glycosides, pseudopterosins P-Z (1-11) and seco-pseudopterosins H (12) and I (13), have been isolated from the organic extracts of two collections of the sea whip Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae procured near the Colombian Southwestern Caribbean Sea. The structures of compounds 1-13, including absolute stereochemistry, have been proposed on the basis of comprehensive spectral analyses, chemical transformations, specific rotation, and TLC chromatographic analyses. Pseudopterosin Q (2) inhibited thromboxane B2 (TXB2) (IC50 = 4.7 microM) and superoxide anion (O2-) (IC50 = 11.2 microM) generation from E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated rat neonatal microglia in vitro. In contrast, pseudopterosins P (1), U (6), V (7), W (8), and X (9) as well as seco-pseudopterosins H (12) and I (13) demonstrated minimal effects on both TXB2 and O2- release. In addition, some of the new compounds displayed strong antituberculosis, antiviral, antimalarial, and anticancer activity.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The tricyclic benzothiazine 15 was prepared in a straightforward fashion via a completely stereoselective intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation. This compound represents a potential precursor to the antitubercular agent, pseudopteroxazole. Its synthesis proceeded via a completely selective, intramolecular addition of a sulfoximine-stabilized carbanion to an alpha,beta-unsaturated ester, followed by functional group manipulations.

Abstract
A concise, enantiospecific synthesis of pseudopteroxazole (3), which had originally been assigned structure 1, has been accomplished starting from S-(-)-limonene. The known cyclohexanone 5 was converted in five steps to the alpha,beta-enone 8 by a modified Robinson annulation. Transformation of 8 to the orthogonally protected amino phenol 11 was accomplished by a new modification of the Wolff-Semmler rearrangement. The synthesis was completed by cationic cyclization to form 14 diastereoselectively and subsequent introduction of the terminal oxazole subunit.

Abstract
[formula: see text] Starting from a nonracemic planar-chiral arene tricarbonyl chromium complex, the serrulatane diterpenoid (+)-20-methoxy-serrulat-14-en-7,8-diol was synthesized in a highly stereoselective fashion. The key step of the synthesis is an endo-selective conjugate nucleophilic addition of lithio-methylphenyl sulfone to a 1-ethylidene-tetralin-Cr(CO)3 derivative. By employing different substrates and nucleophiles it was shown that the surprising and rather general endo selectivity must result from a unique complex induced proximity effect under participation of the Cr(CO)3 moiety.

Abstract
An enantiospecific synthesis of structure 1, previously assigned to the antitubercular marine natural product pseudopteroxazole, has been accomplished as outlined in Scheme 1. Coupling of diene acid 3 and amino phenol 4 produced the amide 5, which was subjected to a novel oxidative intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to generate the tricyclic lactam 6a stereoselectively. This product was transformed via intermediates 7-11 into the diene 13. Cationic cyclization of 13 afforded two diastereomeric tricyclic amphilectanes which were separated and transformed by parallel four-step sequences into 1 and 2, respectively. Neither 1 nor 2 were identical with pseudopteroxazole, indicating a need for revision of the structure, probably to 16.
