Cyclopentenones are synthetically versatile structures, and their straightforward construction from alkynone substrates by employing synthetically streamlining C-H insertion is conceptually appealing and of high synthetic potential. But, its implementation is very limited. Herein we report a Au-catalyzed version, which affords 2-bromocyclopent-2-en-1-ones with a broad scope and synthetically desirable diastereoselectivities. The proposed key intermediate capable of the observed insertion into unactivated C-H bonds is a fully functionalized gold vinylidene, which is generated via a novel intermolecular strategy. This flexible access of likely gold vinylidenes opens various opportunities to explore their versatile reactivities.
Methylation-dependent acyl transfer between polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase modules in fungal natural product biosynthesis

Biochemical studies of purified and dissected fungal polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) hybrid enzymes involved in biosynthesis of pseurotin and aspyridone indicate that one α-methylation step during polyketide synthesis is a prerequisite and a key checkpoint for chain transfer between PKS and NRPS modules. In the absence of the resulting γ-methyl feature, the completed polyketide intermediate is offloaded as an α-pyrone instead of being aminoacylated by the NRPS domain. These examples illustrate that precisely timed tailoring domain activities play critical roles in the overall programming of the iterative PKS (and NRPS) functions.
