Asymmetric syntheses of sceptrin and massadine and evidence for biosynthetic enantiodivergence

TL;DR: Through de novo synthesis of sceptrin and massadine, it is shown that sponges may use single-electron oxidation as a central mechanism to promote three different types of cycloaddition and reveals enantiodivergence as a new biosynthetic paradigm for natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dimeric pyrrole–imidazole alkaloids: synthetic approaches and biosynthetic hypotheses

TL;DR: The pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids are a group of structurally unique and biologically interesting marine sponge metabolites that have caught synthetic chemists' attention particularly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric synthesis of ageliferin

TL;DR: An asymmetric synthesis of ageliferin is described, using a Mn(III)-mediated oxidative radical cyclization reaction as the key step to construct the core skeleton of this pyrrole-imidazole dimer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the Underappreciated Hydrolytic Instability of 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene and Related Unsaturated Nitrogenous Bases

TL;DR: The widespread use of amidine and guanidine bases in synthetic chemistry merits a thorough understanding of their chemical properties and the propensity of these reagents to hydrolyze under mild condi....
