The first total synthesis of the resveratrol tetramers vitisin A and vitisin D is reported. Electrochemical generation and selective dimerization of persistent radicals is followed by thermal isomerization of the symmetric C8b-C8c dimer to the C3c-C8b isomer, providing rapid entry into the vitisin core. Computational results suggest that this synthetic approach mimics Nature's strategy for constructing these complex molecules. Sequential acid-mediated rearrangements consistent with the proposed biogenesis of these compounds afford vitisin A and vitisin D. The rapid synthesis of these complex molecules will enable further study of their pharmacological potential.

A Cu-catalyzed O-alkylation of phenol derivatives using alkylsilyl peroxides as alkyl radical precursors is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild reaction conditions and the use of two different ligands with a Cu catalyst provides a wide range of products. A mechanistic study suggested that the reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism. This journal is

Halogenated aromatic compounds are the cores of many pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical products but they are commonly prepared using electrophilic halogenation reactions in non-green chlorinated solvents under harsh conditions. A separate problem happens in the aromatic halogenation of thioarenes because they readily undergo oxidative side-reactions. Herein we report an environmentally benign electrophilic bromination of aromatics using an indole-catalytic protocol, which is suitable for a wide range of substrates including thioarenes.
