An Efficient Two-Step Total Synthesis of the Quaterpyridine Nemertelline

TLDR
Regioselective and univocal Suzuki cross-coupling reactions performed on halopyridinyl boronic acids provide a flexible and versatile route to a multigram scale synthesis of nemertelline, the quaterpyridine neurotoxin isolated from a Hoplonemertine sea worm.
Abstract
Regioselective and univocal Suzuki cross-coupling reactions performed on halopyridinyl boronic acids provide a flexible and versatile route to a multigram scale synthesis of 2,2'-dichloro-3,4'-bipyridine 14, which allows couplings with excess pyridin-3-yl boronic acid to give a new and efficient two-step rapid synthesis of nemertelline, the quaterpyridine neurotoxin isolated from a Hoplonemertine sea worm.

Iridium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of α,ω-diynes with nitriles.

TL;DR: Regioselective cycloaddition of unsymmetrical diyne bearing two different internal alkyne moieties was achieved and could be reasonably explained by considering the different reactivities of the α-position in iridacyclopentadiene.
