	abstract = {<p>A fungal metabolite, isocladosporin was isolated from natural fungus, Cladosporium cladosporioides in the mid of 90s. Due to the lack of optical rotation of isolated natural product sample, the absolute configuration of the natural product remained undetermined for more than two decades. Herein, we demonstrated an SAR study of enantiomers of isocladosporin in herbicidal bio-assay against wheat coleoptile. Using this study as a comparative tool we further proposed the plausible absolute configuration of natural isocladosporin for the first time. The assigned configuration was also supported through biogenetic precursors.</p>

	The first enantioselective approach based on a highly stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction for the synthesis of 3-epi-formicin A and 1-epi-formicin B with rare N-acetylcysteamine-containing indenone thioesters is reported. The strategy utilizes a key Diels-Alder reaction to form the core hydrindane system with three contiguous stereocenters in very high levels of diastereo- and regioselectivity and one-pot oxidation/isomerization/dehydrogenation. The scope of this method was tested with different substrates to give cycloadducts in a highly diastereoselective manner.</p>
