Have it all: The synthesis of homocalixarenes of all sizes has been demonstrated using the triple annulation of bis(carbene) complexes with diynes (see scheme). This strategy in principle should allow access to all homocalixarenes. The generality of the synthetic approach is also demonstrated by the preparation of a pyrrole-containing calixarene. Copyright

For over five decades, owing to their antiapoptotic activities, bongkrekic and isobongkrekic acids have generated interest from the scientific community. Here, we disclose full details of our investigation into the synthesis of isobongkrekic acid, which culminated in its first preparation and features various palladium-catalysed cross-couplings and Takai olefination reactions. Access to bongkrekic acid is also reported by this route. These syntheses involve the preparation and use of new general building blocks which could find wider applications. Iso-bong: A versatile first synthesis of isobongkrekic acid (IBA) has been developed. Key steps include three different palladium cross-couplings and an asymmetric homopropargylation. In-depth synthetic studies reveal the challenges faced in generating the right geometry of each diene.
