The chemical synthesis of secosterols is an arena for the application of C–H functionalization methods as well as C–C manipulations. Studies on the innate reactivity of synthetic intermediates to undergo C–C scissions and rearrangements can shed light on biosynthetic pathways, or, provide proof for biosynthetic proposals. Examples of the authors work (synthesis of the 14,15-secosterol strophasterol A), as well as examples from current literature (Tian’s synthetic work on 13,14:14,15-disecosterols glaucogenins C and D, and Baran’s synthesis of 9,10-secosterol cortistatin A) are discussed.1 Introduction2 The Synthesis of Strophasterol A Employing the Concept of Innate Reactivity3 Synthetic Work in the Glaucogenin Family of Natural Products4 The Synthesis of Cortistatin A Using a Radical Ring Expansion5 Conclusion

The bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane alkaloids are a vast group of natural products which have been the focus of attention from the scientific community for several decades. This interest stems from their broad range of biological activities, their diverse biosynthetic origins, and their topologically complex structures, which combined make them enticing targets for chemical synthesis. In this article, full details of our synthetic studies into the chemical feasibility of a proposed network of biosynthetic pathways towards the brevianamide family of bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane alkaloids are disclosed. Insights into issues of reactivity and selectivity in the biosynthesis of these structures have aided the development of a unified biomimetic synthetic strategy, which has resulted in the total synthesis of all known bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane brevianamides and the anticipation of an as-yet-undiscovered congener.

<p>Nature's way to construct highly complex molecular entities with virtue as part of biosynthetic pathways is unmatched by any chemical synthesis. Yet, relying on a cascade of native enzymatic transformations to achieve a certain target structure, biosynthesis is also significantly limited in its scope. In this work, non-natural biocatalytic modules are successfully implemented into an artificial metabolism, combining the benefits of traditional retrosynthesis with the elegance and efficacy of biosynthetic networks. In a highly streamlined process, a fully enzymatic total synthesis of the tricyclic angiopterlactone B is achieved.<b></b></p>
