Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of HDDA-Derived Benzynes with Sulfides: Mechanism, Modes, and Three-Component Reactions
TL;DR: Reactions of alkyl sulfides with benzynes thermally generated by the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) cycloisomerization are reported, which constitutes a versatile, three-component coupling process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calyciphylline B-Type Alkaloids: Total Syntheses of (-)-Daphlongamine H and (-)-Isodaphlongamine H.
TL;DR: The first total synthesis of the complex hexacylic Daphniphyllum alkaloid (-)-daphlongamine H has been accomplished using a complexity-building Mannich reaction, efficient cyclizations, and a highly diastereoselective hydrogenation to assemble multigram quantities of the tricyclic core bearing four contiguous stereocenters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site-Selective Cross-Coupling of Polyhalogenated Arenes and Heteroarenes with Identical Halogen Groups.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss strategies for site-selective cross-couplings of polyhalogenated arenes and heteroarenes bearing identical halogens, beginning with an overview of the reaction types that are more traditional in nature, such as electronically, sterically, and directing-group controlled processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calyciphylline B-type Alkaloids: Evolution of a Synthetic Strategy to (−)-Daphlongamine H
TL;DR: These efforts have culmi-nated in the development of the first total synthesis of (-)-daphlongamine H, provided access to its C5-epimer, (-)-isodaphlongamines H, and led to structural revision of deoxyisocalyciphylline B.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA)-Derived Benzynes with Thioamides: Synthesis of Dihydrobenzothiazino-Heterocyclics.
TL;DR: It is postulated that the reaction proceeds via benzothietene and o-thiolatoaryliminium intermediates and that the latter undergoes intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen atom migration to produce the penultimate isomeric iminium zwitterions VI.
