TL;DR: In this article, a tandem Katsuli-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and enantiospecific ring expansion of 2-alkyl(or 2-aryl)-2-cyclopropylideneethanols (1a-i) afforded chiral 1-alky(or 1-aryl)1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutanones (3a)-i) in high yields and high enantiomeric excess.
Abstract: A tandem Katsuli-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and enantiospecific ring expansion of 2-alkyl(or 2-aryl)-2-cyclopropylideneethanols (1a-i) afforded chiral 1-alkyl(or 1-aryl)-1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutanones (3a-i) in high yields and high enantiomeric excess. These compounds are potentially valuable synthons for the enantioselective creation of the quaternary carbons. Hence, this enabled us to accomplish a concise and enantioselective total synthesis of both (+)- and (-)-α-cuparenones

TL;DR: The Diels-Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which, arguably, has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire. With myriad applications of this magnificent pericyclic reaction, often as a crucial element in elegant and programmed cascade sequences facilitating complex molecule construction, the Diels-Alder cycloaddition has afforded numerous and unparalleled solutions to a diverse range of synthetic puzzles provided by nature in the form of natural products. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Alder's birth, selected examples of the awesome power of the reaction he helped to discover are discussed in this review in the context of total synthesis to illustrate its overall versatility and underscore its vast potential which has yet to be fully realized.
