Abstract
1,3-Disubstituted bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) are important motifs in drug design as surrogates for p-substituted arenes and alkynes. Access to all-carbon disubstituted BCPs via cross-coupling has to date been limited to use of the BCP as the organometallic component, which restricts scope due to the harsh conditions typically required for the synthesis of metallated BCPs. Here we report a general method to access 1,3-C-disubstituted BCPs from 1-iodo-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (iodo-BCPs) by direct iron-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl and heteroaryl Grignard reagents. This chemistry represents the first general use of iodo-BCPs as electrophiles in cross-coupling, and the first Kumada coupling of tertiary iodides. Benefiting from short reaction times, mild conditions, and broad scope of the coupling partners, it enables the synthesis of a wide range of 1,3-C-disubstituted BCPs including various drug analogues.

Abstract
The asymmetric syntheses of all members of the Hancock alkaloid family based upon a 2-substituted N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline core are delineated. The conjugate addition of enantiopure lithium N-benzyl- N-(α-methyl- p-methoxybenzyl)amide to 5-( o-bromophenyl)- N-methoxy- N-methylpent-2-enamide is used to generate the requisite C-2 stereogenic center of the targets, while an intramolecular Buchwald-Hartwig coupling is used to form the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline ring. Late-stage diversification completes construction of the C-2 side chains. Thus, (-)-cuspareine, (-)-galipinine, (-)-galipeine, and (-)-angustureine were prepared in overall yields of 30%, 28%, 15%, and 39%, respectively, in nine steps from commercially available 3-( o-bromophenyl)propanoic acid in all cases. Unambiguously corrected 1H and 13C NMR data for the originally isolated samples of (-)-cuspareine, (-)-galipinine, and (-)-angustureine are also reported, representing a valuable reference resource for these popular synthetic targets.

Abstract
The 1H and 13C NMR data of synthetic samples of (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2'-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, the originally proposed structure of the Hancock alkaloid (-)-galipeine, do not match those of the natural product. Herein, the preparation of the regioisomer (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2'-(3″-methoxy-4″-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is reported, the 1H and 13C NMR data of which are in excellent agreement with those of (-)-galipeine. Comparison of specific rotation data enables assignment of the absolute (S)-configuration of the alkaloid, and together, these data engender the structural revision of (-)-galipeine to (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2'-(3″-methoxy-4″-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline.
