Dithiodiketopiperazines are complex polycyclic natural products possessing a variety of interesting biological activities. Despite their interest, relatively few total syntheses have been completed. We herein report the enantioselective, scalable, and divergent total synthesis of two symmetrical pentacyclic dithiodiketopiperazines, (-)-epicoccin G and (-)-rostratin A. A common intermediate was synthesized on a multigram scale from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials using an enantioselective organocatalytic epoxidation and a double C(sp3)-H activation as key steps, with the latter allowing the efficient simultaneous construction of the two five-membered rings. In addition to the cis,cis-fused target (-)-epiccocin G, the more challenging (-)-rostratin A, possessing two trans ring junctions, was obtained for the first time on a 500 mg scale through the optimization of each step and validation on multigram quantities. Both natural products were synthesized with high overall yields (13-20%). This study should facilitate access to this fascinating and yet understudied family of biologically active natural products.

We report herein a Pd(II)/bis-sulfoxide-catalyzed intramolecular allylic C-H acetoxylation of aryl allyl ether, amine, and amino acids with the retention of a labile allyl moiety. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds through a distinct double-bond isomerization from the allylic to the vinylic position followed by intramolecular carboxypalladation and the β-hydride elimination pathway. For the first time, C-H oxidation of N-allyl-protected amino acids to furnish five-membered heterocycles through 1,3-syn-addition is established with excellent diastereoselectivity.
Synthesis of Dipeptides by Boronic Acid Catalysis

We have found that a boronic acid catalyzed amidation of an N -hydroxy amino acid methyl ester with amino acid tert -butyl esters gave N -hydroxy dipeptide derivatives in good yields without any racemization. The protecting groups on the nitrogen atom could be easily removed by heterogeneous hydrogenation conditions.
