TL;DR: A cobalt-triarylphosphine catalyst promotes an annulation reaction of an α,β-unsaturated imine and an internal alkyne to afford a polysubstituted dihydropyridine derivative in good yield under mild conditions.

TL;DR: The first stereoselective synthesis of epimeloscine has been accomplished in 13 total steps with a longest linear sequence of 10 steps.
Abstract: The first stereoselective synthesis of epimeloscine has been accomplished in 13 total steps with a longest linear sequence of 10 steps. The core of the synthesis takes only five steps, the key ones being acylation, stereoselective tandem radical cyclization of a divinylcyclopropane to make two rings, and group-selective ring-closing metathesis of the resulting divinylcyclopentane to make the last ring.

TL;DR: A ligand-promoted catalytic [4+2] annulation reaction using indole derivatives and donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclobutanes is reported, thus providing an efficient and atom-economical access to versatile cyclohexa-fused indolines with excellent levels of diastereoselectivity and a broad substrate scope.
Abstract: A ligand-promoted catalytic [4+2] annulation reaction using indole derivatives and donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclobutanes is reported, thus providing an efficient and atom-economical access to versatile cyclohexa-fused indolines with excellent levels of diastereoselectivity and a broad substrate scope. In the presence of a chiral SaBOX ligand, excellent enantioselectivity was realized with up to 94 % ee. This novel synthetic method is applied as a general protocol for the total synthesis of (±)-akuammicine and the formal total synthesis of (±)-strychnine from the same common-core scaffold.

TL;DR: A novel palladium(0)-catalyzed dearomatizing [2+2+1] spiroannulation of 1-bromo-2-naphthols with aryl iodides and alkynes was developed for the rapid assembly of spiro[indene-1,1'-naphthalen]-2'-ones.
Abstract: A novel palladium(0)-catalyzed dearomatizing [2+2+1] spiroannulation of 1-bromo-2-naphthols with aryl iodides and alkynes was developed for the rapid assembly of spiro[indene-1,1′-naphthalen]-2′-ones. This three-component cascade reaction was realized through consecutive Catellani-type C−H activation, unsymmetrical biaryl coupling, alkyne migratory insertion, and arene dearomatization. The potential utility of our method is illustrated by the one-step construction of the polycyclic skeletons of dalesconols A and B from alkyne-tethered aryl iodides and 1-bromo-2-naphthol.
