Our recent progress toward the synthesis of the furanocembranolide lophotoxin (1) is disclosed. Strategies for the stereoselective incorporation of the C13 stereocenter by a catalytic desymmetrization of a cyclic meso-anhydride, as well as a novel 1,6-addition reaction of organocuprates to unsaturated [1,3]dioxin-4-ones are discussed. Preliminary results on the development of a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,6-addition reaction are also mentioned. Finally, modifications of a previously reported transition-metal-catalyzed cyclization reaction involving α-propargyl β-keto esters allow furan ring formation either under thermal conditions or by microwave irradiation.Key words: 1,6-addition, organocuprates, catalytic desymmetrization, furan cyclization, microwave.

Aromatic heterocycles are ubiquitous building blocks in bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Accordingly, the carborane-fused heterocycles would be potential candidates in drug discovery, nanomaterials, metallacarboranes, as well as photoluminescent materials. In recent years, the transition metal catalyzed B-H activation has been proved to be an effective protocol for selective functionalization of B-H bond of o-carboranes, which has been further extended for the synthesis of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via cascade B-H functionalization/annulation process. This article summarizes the recent progress in construction of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via B-H activation.

Owing to the ‘magic methyl effect’ on a compound’s physical and biological properties, methylation is a strategy frequently used by medicinal chemists in structure–activity relationship studies or in lead optimization. This article highlights the most recent reported methods for the direct methylation of (hetero)arenes, which mainly involve either C–H functionalization or cross-coupling of methylating reagents with (hetero)aryl halides. Methylation of C–H bonds of (hetero)-arenes, which is atom economical, has been explored by several research groups in recent years. Given the unmatchable availability of (hetero)aryl halides, we believe that Ni-catalyzed methylation using iodomethane or deuterated iodomethane as the methyl source is one of the most convenient methods.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings have been recognized as a powerful tool for sustainable syntheses. Despite the fact that remarkable progress was achieved by palladium and nickel catalysis, the high price and toxicity still remained a drawback. Recently, naturally more abundant and less toxic low-valent chromium salts, such as Cr(II) and Cr(III) chlorides, displayed notable unique catalytic reactivity. Thus, recent progress in the field of chromium-catalyzed cross-couplings and related reactions are highlighted in the present short review until December­ 2018.1 Introduction and Early Chromium-Mediated Reactions2 Chromium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings and Related Reactions3 Conclusion
