Our synthetic endeavor toward the total synthesis of the reported unprecedented tricyclic skeleton of the sesquiterpene pestalustaine A allowed us to perform divergent cyclizations of a bicyclo[4.4.1]undec‐3‐ene into complex tricyclic architectures and to revise the structure of the natural product.

Protic molecules containing strong O─H or N─H bonds typically resist hydrogen‐atom abstraction because of the high reactivity of the resulting heteroatom‐centered radicals. However, association of the protic molecules with redox‐active Lewis acids can provide powerful hydrogen‐atom donors or proton‐coupled‐electron‐transfer reagents.

Remapping the Synthetic Landscape of α‐Tertiary Alkylamines via Dual‐Functional Catechol
A three‐component assembly strategy has been developed for the modular synthesis of hindered α‐tertiary aliphatic amines from readily available precursors through unlocking the dual role of catechol. The practicality of this methodology has been demonstrated in over 90 examples, including compounds that are otherwise difficult to access, along with ...
