TLDR
In this paper, a trialkylsilyl trifluoromethansulfonate was used to produce cyclopentanes 14a and 20a and cyclohexanes 14b and 20b.
Abstract
Treatment of the α,β-unsaturated esters 1, 6 and 8 with trialkylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of a tertiary amine gave, via silyl dienol ethers, the corresponding deconjugated esters 3, 7 and 9 as the major products, respectively. Reaction of bis-α,β-unsaturated esters 12a and 12b with a trialkylsilyl trifluoromethansulfonate in the presence of a tertiary amine caused an intramolecular Michael reaction to produce the cyclopentanes 14a and 20a and the cyclohexanes 14b and 20b. Bicyclic compounds 21a and 21b formed by tandem Michael–Dieckmann or intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction were concurrently obtained. The cyclohexane derivative 14b was converted into the racemate of a sesquiterpene, (±)-ricciocarpin A 22.

Total synthesis of dysidiolide

TL;DR: The cdc25A protein phosphatase inhibitor dysidiolide has been synthesized enantioselectively, starting from the enantiomerically pure ketal enone 2 and using a cationic rearrangement as the key step to produce the fully substituted bicyclic core of the natural product.

Concise synthesis of ricciocarpin A and discovery of a more potent analogue

TL;DR: The key feature of the synthesis is a one-pot, three-step, organocatalytic reductive Michael-Tishchenko cascade that resulted in the synthesis of the natural product, but also of its antipode and four other structural analogues.

Total Synthesis of Cyanolide A in the Absence of Protecting Groups, Chiral Auxiliaries, or Premetalated Carbon Nucleophiles

TL;DR: A total synthesis of cyanolide A is reported in the absence of protecting groups, chiral auxiliaries, or premetalated C-nucleophiles in fewer than half the steps of any previous approach.

Bryophytes, a Source of Biologically Active, Naturally Occurring Material?

TL;DR: In this article, the plant category of mosses (bryophytes) were neglected for a long time and they have now been shown to be a storehouse of naturally occurring materials, including some with novel chemical structures.

Formation of Enolates

TL;DR: The stereochemical outcome of an enolate reaction often depends on the geometry of the enolate and therefore the selective formation of enolates is a key step in many bond-forming processes as mentioned in this paper.
