The first total synthesis of a chromodorolide marine diterpenoid is described. The core of the diterpenoid is constructed by a bimolecular radical addition/cyclization/fragmentation cascade that unites two complex fragments and forms two C-C bonds and four contiguous stereogenic centers of (-)-chromodorolide B in a single step. This coupling step is initiated by visible-light photocatalytic fragmentation of a redox-active ester, which can be accomplished in the presence of an iridium or a less-precious electron-rich dicyanobenzene photocatalyst, and employs equimolar amounts of the two addends. Computational studies guided the development of this central step of the synthesis and provide insight into the origin of the observed stereoselectivity.

Cascading epoxides: The squalene-derived polyether lactodehydrothyrsiferol (1) has been prepared through a convergent sequence that features an epoxide-opening cascade to construct the tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran subunits. Additional features include a stereodivergent diene diepoxidation, a monodeoxygenation of a triol, and complex fragment couplings through Suzuki and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reactions. Copyright
A convergent approach to coenzyme Q

Syntheses of coenzyme Q3-8 are described, as well as related systems such as plastoquinone-5. Preparation of the higher homologues of the ubiquinones relies on two new conjunctive reagents, or "linchpins", each of which ultimately corresponds to two or three prenyl units. These allow for attachment of a polyprenyl halide at one end, followed by a Ni(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling at the other terminus with a chloromethylated p-quinone.
