Starting from double MOM-protected phloroglucinol, the facile total syntheses of bioactive natural products pawhuskin C and schweinfurthin J were accomplished in good overall yields. The Heck, Stille, or Suzuki coupling reactions of two different electron-rich phenolic segments bearing geranylated or farnesylated units were involved in the decisive step. The Sonogashira coupling reaction followed by palladium-catalyzed chemo-and stereoselective cis-reduction of an alkyne unit and subsequent isomerization to give the desired natural products is also described.

A facile synthesis of natural and unnatural arylnaphthalenes has been demonstrated via the unprecedented palladium-promoted [2 + 2 + 2] cocyclization of arynes and unsymmetrical conjugated dienes using the N-heterocyclic carbene as a ligand. The unsymmetrical dienes used herein are actually alpha-coupled acrylate - cinnamate combinations bearing two beta-positive carbons and follow the key [2 + 2 + 2] cocyclization pathway.

A concise account of isolation, characterization, bioactivity, plausible biogenetic pathways, and most importantly, total synthesis of structurally fascinating and biologically imperious indole-based subincanadine alkaloids and their biogenetic congeners are described in the present review with special emphasis on total synthesis and therein an involved set of key reactions.
