RESUMEN
A tandem palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling, propargyl-allenyl isomerization, and [2+2] cycloaddition sequence between electron-deficient haloarenes and 1,8-diynylic ethers is developed. The reaction shows good functional tolerance and proceeds under mild conditions to provide a new profile of benzooxepane-fused cyclobutene derivatives in moderate to high yields with high selectivity. The reaction mechanism is validated both by experimental studies and DFT calculations.
RESUMEN
A novel approach for the synthesis of 1,1,4,5-tetrasubstituted phthalans is developed via a tandem palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling/propargyl-allenyl isomerization/pentadehydro-Diels-Alder cyclization/regioselective nucleophilic addition sequence. The reaction shows good functional tolerance and provides a wide variety of substituted phthalans in moderate to high yields from haloarenes, triynes, and protic nucleophiles, such as amines and alcohols, under very mild conditions.
RESUMEN
A streamlined total synthesis of the naturally occurring antitumor agents trioxacarcins is described, along with its application to the construction of a series of designed analogues of these complex natural products. Biological evaluation of the synthesized compounds revealed a number of highly potent, and yet structurally simpler, compounds that are effective against certain cancer cell lines, including a drug-resistant line. A novel one-step synthesis of anthraquinones and chloro anthraquinones from simple ketone precursors and phenylselenyl chloride is also described. The reported work, featuring novel chemistry and cascade reactions, has potential applications in cancer therapy, including targeted approaches as in antibody-drug conjugates.

Aspidodasycarpine and lonicerine are a pair of epimeric aspidophylline-type alkaloids bearing vicinal quaternary C7 and C16. The first and enantioselective total syntheses of these molecules are described here. A Ru-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation established the first stereocenter. An Au-promoted Toste cyclization was exploited to assemble the bridged tetracyclic core and define the geometry of the exocyclic olefin; electron deficient (p-CF3C6H4)3P was a suitable ligand for this transformation. An aldol condensation followed by an intramolecular indole C3 alkylation constructed the adjacent quaternary C7 and C16 diastereoselectively, leading to a pentacyclic lactol as an advanced common intermediate for synthesizing both alkaloids. The proposed structure of lanciferine, a highly oxidized congener of aspidodasycarpine, was synthesized from the lactol by tuning the oxidation states of various carbons.

Trioxacarcins DC-45-A2, DC-45-A1, A, D, C7â³-epi-C, and C have been synthesized through stereoselective strategies involving BF3·Et2O-catalyzed ketone-epoxide opening and gold-catalyzed glycosylation reactions, and the full structural assignment of trioxacacin C was deciphered via the syntheses of both of its C7â³ epimers. The gathered knowledge sets the foundation for the design, synthesis, and biological evalution of analogues of these natural products as potential payloads for antibody-drug conjugates and other delivery systems for targeted and personalized cancer chemotherapy.

A gold-catalyzed cyclization of 3-(2'-azidoaryl)-1-arylpropargyl carbonates to generate substituted quinolines via a sequence of 3,3-rearrangement, 6-endo-trig cyclization and denitrogenation has been developed. Similar products could be obtained from 3-aryl-1-(2'-azidoaryl)propargyl carbonates under different gold catalytic conditions via a sequential 6-endo-dig cyclization, denitrogenation, and 1,2-H shift process.

A homo-Michael addition reaction of lithium selenolates with 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones and the subsequent reaction with electrophiles such as PhSeBr, NFSI and NCS is reported. Based on the nature of electrophiles, this reaction may afford highly substituted 1,2-allenyl ketones or furans (E(+) = PhSe(+)) and 2-alkynyl ketones (E(+) = F(+), Cl(+), active halides) as the final products, respectively.

A series of dicationic porphyrins were found to specifically recognize loop structures of oligodeoxynucleotides, and to selectively oxidize guanine residues upon photo-irradiation at micromolar concentrations. These compounds could, thus, be employed as promising structural probes for specific secondary DNA structures. The production of singlet oxygen ((1)O2) is responsible for the DNA-modification profiles. Both UV-titration and thermal-melting experiments indicate that the strong affinity of the charged porphyrins towards DNA loops is responsible for these molecular-recognition phenomena.
