Summary: Enzymes are recognized as valuable tools in synthetic chemistry, enabling transformations that conventional organochemical approaches cannot achieve. Their expanding role in biocatalysis has introduced new opportunities for synthetic strategies and retrosynthetic disconnections. This review highlights recent literature examples to demonstrate the strategic uses of enzymes in natural product synthesis and advocates for their inclusion in the standard repertoire for complex small-molecule synthesis.

Summary: Fourteen new 2,3-dialkoxyphenazine derivatives were synthesized via regioselective synthesis, using a synthetic protocol based on Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, reduction of bis(2-nitrophenyl)amine, and tandem-like oxidation. The regioselectivity of these steps and the molecular structure of the compounds were confirmed by NMR and X-ray diffraction. Cytotoxicity assays showed that one of the compounds, 7-(tert-butyl)-3-isobutoxy-2-(octyloxy)phenazine, exhibited cytotoxicity against LoVo human colon adenocarcinoma cell line.

Summary: Schweinfurthins are a group of natural compounds with potential anticancer properties that act through targeting the intracellular distribution of cholesterol via oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP). Through synthesizing analogues and experimental validation, it has been shown that the affinity of these analogues to OSBP correlates with their cytotoxicity. The selected analogue has demonstrated promising anticancer effects in cell experiments and an animal model.

Summary: Five new aconitine-type C-19-diterpenoid alkaloids, apetalrines A-E (1-5), were isolated from Aconitum apetalum. Among them, apetalrine B (2) exhibited good neuroprotective effects by inhibiting cell apoptosis, confirmed through a series of studies including flow cytometry, staining, and Western blotting. Further synthesis and evaluation of derivatives of compound 2 revealed its potential for neuroprotective applications with low cytotoxicity.

Summary: The sp3-rich bridged diazatricycloundecane scaffold was synthesized via gold(i)-catalysed Conia-ene reaction. The resulting scaffold allowed the construction of a library of sp(3)-rich compounds. Among the synthesized compounds, compounds 6e and 6f inhibited the hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) downstream signaling pathway without affecting HIF-1 alpha mRNA expression.

Summary: We report the efficient synthesis of strained hydrocarbon cuneanes from 1,4-disubstituted cubanes using silver(I)-catalyzed rearrangement. Cuneanes can potentially serve as isosteric replacements of trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexanes and 1,3-disubstituted benzenes. A derivative of the anticancer drug sonidegib, with a 1,3-disubstituted cuneane replacing the 1,2,3-trisubstituted benzene, was synthesized, suggesting the potential for cuneanes in medicinal chemistry.

Summary: Developing new procedures with high stereoselectivity for synthesizing tetrahydropyrans is crucial for the synthesis of THP-containing natural products. In this study, we present an interesting protocol using silyl-Prins cyclization of vinylsilyl alcohols to synthesize polysubstituted halogenated tetrahydropyrans, where the Lewis acid type determines the reaction outcome. This methodology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of a known antinociceptive drug.

Summary: This study presents a gold-catalyzed bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethylation of alpha-allenols, allowing the synthesis of sterically congested bis(triflyl)enals with quaternary carbon centers. The reaction pathway is different from the conventional approach, as Au(I) acts as a pi-Lewis base catalyst instead of a pi-Lewis acid, activating the allene and facilitating the unusual addition of a carbon nucleophile from the gold complex belonging to the allenol moiety. Density functional theory calculations were performed to understand this unique pathway.

In this reaction, a unique pathway is observed where Au(I) acts as a pi-Lewis base catalyst instead of a pi-Lewis acid to activate the allene, enabling the unusual addition of a carbon nucleophile. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to analyze this unconventional pathway.

Summary: The base-promoted intramolecular aldol condensation of diastereomeric Michael adducts of levoglucosenone and cyclododecanone yields a mixture of three diastereomers of 12-hydroxy-14,20-dioxatetra-cyclo[9.6.1.1(12)(,17).1(13,16)]icosan-18-one. These products show promise for synthesizing 14-membered macrocyclic compounds, including cembranoids and their analogues.

Summary: Chiral 2-trichloromethyloxazolines were synthesized from levoglucosenone and annulated to a carbohydrate fragment. The compounds were converted to 4-substituted 3-amino-1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-beta-D-marmopyranoses by acid hydrolysis. Intramolecular amination of allyl trichloroacetimidates was used to construct the oxazoline ring. It was found that trichloroacetimidates with an epoxide ring undergo recyclization to form the oxazoline ring spontaneously.
