The first total synthesis of the norcembranoid diterpenoid scabrolide A is disclosed. The route begins with the synthesis of two chiral pool-derived fragments, which undergo a convergent coupling to expediently introduce all 19 carbon atoms of the natural product. An intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction and an enone-olefin cycloaddition/fragmentation sequence are then employed to construct the fused [5–6–7] linear carbocyclic core of the molecule and to complete the total synthesis.

(3aR,7aS)-4-(2-Azidoethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,7a-dihydrobenzo[1,3]dioxole (22) was converted in two steps to trienes23and24, which upon heating underwent intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions to give mixtures of isomeric 11,11-dimethyl-5-oxo-10,12-dioxa-4-azatetracyclo[6.5.2.01,6.09,13]pentadec-14-ene-7-carboxylates25,26and27,28, respectively. These products were separated and identified. For comparison, intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of diene22with maleic anhydride was carried out. Products of this reaction, 1-(2-azidoethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3,5,10-trioxatetracyclo[5.5.2.02,6.08,12]tetradec-13-ene-9,11-diones (29and30) were converted to methyl ester analogues of31and32in a two-step sequence. The stereochemical outcome of these cycloadditions is discussed as well as their possible utilization in organic synthesis, especially in total synthesis of some alkaloids.

Metal-mediated cyclizations are important transformations in a natural product total synthesis. The Pauson-Khand reaction, particularly powerful for establishing cyclopentenone-containing structures, is distinguished as one of the most attractive annulation processes routinely employed in synthesis campaigns. This review covers Co, Rh, and Pd catalyzed Pauson-Khand reaction and summarizes its strategic applications in total syntheses of structurally complex natural products in the last five years. Additionally, the hetero-Pauson-Khand reaction in the synthesis of heterocycles will also be discussed. Focusing on the panorama of organic synthesis, this review highlights the strategically developed Pauson-Khand reaction in fulfilling total synthetic tasks and its synthetic attractiveness is aimed to be illustrated.

The synthesis of steroids and gaining an ultimate understanding of their reactivity was one of Sir Derek Barton’s most notable research areas. This highlight will focus on the construction of the steroid ring system from 2016 to 2018, and will include pathways that eventually led to natural product synthesis. For example, efficient syntheses of ent-pregnanolone sulfate and oestradiol methyl ether will be explained along with the total synthesis of cannogenol-3-O-α-l-rhamnoside.
