Computational and experimental studies offer fresh insights into the neglected tetravinylethylene class of compounds. Both the structures and the outcomes of exploratory reactions of the parent hydroc
An arylative ring expansion cascade has been developed for the synthesis of medium-sized carbocycles from fused cyclobutenes. This reaction proceeds through a short-lived cis,trans-cycloalkadiene inte
Salimabromide is an antibiotic polyketide that was previously isolated from the obligate marine myxobacterium Enhygromyxa salina, and its densely functionalized and conformationally rigid tetracyclic
Total syntheses of the structures, 1, 2, and 4, assigned to the biologically active natural products ribisins A, B, and D, respectively, have been achieved using the microbially derived and enantiomer
Described is a concise total synthesis of N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile, the first in a family of complex bicyclo[4.3.1]decane-containing indole alkaloids to yield to synthesis. The complete c
