TL;DR: In this article, a concise and practical route to the enantiomerically pure des-A B-trienic steroid was developed by thermolysis of the optically active alkenic benzocyclobutene 13 obtained by selective nucleophilic addition of isopropenyl group to the chiral epoxide 9 as a key step.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intramolecular aldol reaction of keto acetals was performed with Me3SiI−(Me3Si)2NH====== leading to spirobicyclic compounds.
Abstract: An intramolecular aldol reaction of keto acetals 1, regioselectively performed with Me3SiI–(Me3Si)2NH leading to spirobicyclic compounds 2 and 3, has been applied to the syntheses of (±)-spirojatamol and (±)-erythrodiene.

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.
