Synthesis of a D Ring‐Functionalized Derivative of the Epiwelwistatin Tetracyclic Core
A 14-oxo derivative of the tetracyclic core of the alkaloid 3-epi-welwistatin was prepared by a regioselective ring expansion of Kornfeld's ketone followed by a Michael-intramolecular aldol anionic…

The Steglich-type intramolecular acyl transfer of bis-oxindole enol carbonate derivatives 9a-c affords selectively the monorearranged products lla-c. In turn, Pd(0)-mediated allyl transfer of the…
Construction of the N1-C3 linkage stereogenic centers by catalytic asymmetric amination reaction of 3-bromooxindoles with indolines.
TLDR
The catalytic asymmetric amination reaction of 3-bromooxindoles with indolines for the construction of the N1-C3 linkage stereogenic centers has been realized for the first time and conveniently led to a formal synthesis of (+)-psychotrimine.
Development of catalytic deacylative alkylations (DaA) of 3-acyl-2-oxindoles: total synthesis of meso-chimonanthine and related alkaloids.
TLDR
An effective deacylative alkylation strategy for the construction of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position is presented, furnishing products with a vicinal quaternARY center in favour of meso-isomer as the major product.
The catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of tryptamine for accessing meso-contiguous quaternary carbon centers of oligomeric cyclotryptamine alkaloids: a formal synthesis of hodgkinsine B
TLDR
A catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of tryptamine via tandem [4 + 2] cycloaddition/cyclization with o-azaxylylene in situ generated from functionalized 3-bromooxindole promoted by chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ni(BF4)2.
Application of diazene-directed fragment assembly to the total synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (+)-desmethyl-meso-chimonanthine and related heterodimeric alkaloids.
TLDR
This paper describes the first application of the methodology for heterodimerization via diazene fragmentation towards the total synthesis of (-)-calycanthidine, meso-chimonanthine, and (+)-desmethyl-meso- chimonanthines, and its unambiguous stereochemical assignment.
