In this Account, we describe our studies on the total synthesis of several natural products using intramolecular Nozaki–Hiyama–Takai–Kishi (NHTK) reactions. In each synthesis, an NHTK reaction is used to efficiently construct a medium-sized ring. These examples demonstrate the utility of the intramolecular NHTK reaction in natural product synthesis.1 Introduction2 Total Synthesis of (+)-Pestalotiopsin A3 Total Synthesis of (+)-Cytosporolide A4 Total Synthesis of (+)-Vibsanin A5 Total Syntheses of (+)-Aquatolide and Related Humulanolides6 Conclusion

Unique Ability

The multistep synthesis of natural products has historically served as a useful and informative platform for showcasing the best, state-of-the-art synthetic methodologies and technologies. Over the last several decades, electrochemistry has proved itself to be a useful tool for conducting redox reactions. This is primarily due to its unique ability to selectively apply any oxidizing or reducing potential to a sufficiently conductive reaction solution. Electrochemical redox reactions are readily scaled and can be more sustainable than competing strategies based on conventional redox reagents. In this chapter, we summarize the examples where electrochemistry has been used in the synthesis of natural products. The chapter is organized by the reaction type of the electrochemical step and covers both oxidative and reductive reaction modes.

Catalytic Asymmetric

A catalytic asymmetric intramolecular Darzens reaction of 2-halomalonate derivatives was developed for the enantioselective preparation of chiral building blocks for epoxide-containing natural products. Among the screened catalysts, some phase-transfer catalysts gave the desired epoxide in moderate enantioselectivity, albeit in low yield. The epoxide product would be useful as versatile chiral building blocks for natural product synthesis.

This review focuses on alkynyl Prins and alkynyl aza-Prins cyclization­ processes, which involve intramolecular coupling of an alkyne with either an oxocarbenium or iminium electrophile. The oxocarbenium or iminium species can be generated through condensation- or elimination-type processes, to achieve an overall bimolecular annulation that enables the synthesis of both oxygen- and nitrogen-containing­ saturated heterocycles with different ring sizes and substitution patterns. Also discussed are cascade processes in which alkynyl Prins heterocyclic adducts react to trigger subsequent pericyclic reactions, including [4+2] cycloadditions and Nazarov electrocyclizations, to rapidly construct complex small molecules. Finally, examples of the use of alkynyl Prins and alkynyl aza-Prins reactions in the synthesis of natural products are described. The review covers the literature through the end of 2019.1 Introduction1.1 Alkyne-Carbonyl Coupling Pathways1.2 Coupling/Cyclization Cascades Using the Alkynyl Prins Reaction2 Alkynyl Prins Annulation (Oxocarbenium Electrophiles)2.1 Early Work2.2 Halide as Terminal Nucleophile2.3 Oxygen as Terminal Nucleophile2.4 Arene as Terminal Nucleophile (Intermolecular)2.5 Arene Terminal Nucleophile (Intramolecular)2.6 Cyclizations Terminated by Elimination3 Synthetic Utility of Alkynyl Prins Annulation3.1 Alkynyl Prins-Mediated Synthesis of Dienes for a [4+2] Cyclo­- addition­-Oxidation Sequence3.2 Alkynyl Prins Cyclization Adducts as Nazarov Cyclization Precursors3.3 Alkynyl Prins Cyclization in Natural Product Synthesis4 Alkynyl Aza-Prins Annulation4.1 Iminium Electrophiles4.2 Activated Iminium Electrophiles5 Alkynyl Aza-Prins Cyclizations in Natural Product Synthesis6 Summary and Outlook

Important biomimetic steps in natural product synthesis have been promoted by transition metals, as exemplified by this beautiful ruthenium-catalyzed rearrangement of an endoperoxide into elysiapyrone A. Such reactions are supposed to occur during the biosynthesis, yet under different catalysis conditions.
