	Unmasking the synthetic potential of alkyne functional group of alkynyl alcohols as surrogates of carbonyl compounds, herein we present the first Bronsted acid (TfOH)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2]-annulation of 4-pentyn-1-ols (possessing terminal alkyne) with a-ynone-esters to access tricyclic tetrahydro-oxepino-phthalides. Besides, an unprecedented synthesis of a-acetoaryl or a-alkynyl [5,5]-oxaspirolactones has been demonstrated by employing 4-pentyn-1-ols (possessing an internal alkyne) as an annulation partner, which proceeds through a divergent [2 + 3]-annulation pathway.&lt;/p&gt;

	Unprecedented MsOH-promoted diastereoselective cascade dimerization and intramolecular lactonization of readily accessible alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-ketoesters are presented. The results obtained in this work, control experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the initial enolization and E to Z isomerization/equilibration of olefin (C=C) of substrate alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-ketoesters give a Z-isomer preferentially over an E-isomer. Subsequently, the Z-isomer undergoes intermolecular annulation with alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-ketoesters via domino Michael addition/ketalization/lactonization steps to furnish fused tetracyclic pyrano-ketal-lactone. However, the Z-isomer prefers intramolecular trans-esterification in a competing pathway and gives bicyclic gamma-ylidene-butenolide. The key features of this work include simple Br &amp;amp; oslash;nsted acid catalysis, the formation of three bonds, two rings, and three contiguous stereogenic centers in a single step, DFT calculations, and the assignment of relative stereochemistry through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses.&lt;/p&gt;

	In this study, we unveil the versatility of 4-pentyn-1-ols as carbonyl surrogates for the unprecedented synthesis of diverse oxygen heterocycles, including [5,6,5]-bis-spiroketals (trioxadispiroketals) and [5,6,5]-furano-spiroketals related to bioactive natural products. These reactions commence with the pi-activation-induced intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of 4-pentyn-1-ols, yielding cyclic enol ethers, which undergo subsequent three-component annulation with aldehydes in a [2+2+1+1] fashion, resulting in the formation of [5,6,5]-bis-spiroketals. Notably, the distinctive steric features of alkynyl alcohols, particularly those with a secondary or tertiary alcohol functionality, dictate divergent reaction pathways, leading to the formation of [5,6,5]-furano-spiroketals.&lt;/p&gt;

	Herein, we report the first stereoselective total synthesis of the eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid (-)-peniroqueforin C using a chiral-pool strategy. This synthetic route features the use of readily available (S)-(+)-carvone as a chiral building block, Robinson annulation to construct the decalin system, substrate-controlled stereoselective methylation, single-step annulative construction of a tricyclic gamma-ylidene-butenolide with concomitant alkene transposition, and direct lactone-to-lactam conversion as key transformations.&lt;/p&gt;

	In the present investigation, we have isolated a pneumatophore derived Aspergillus species, from the mangrove Ecosystem. Th fungus was identified based on macromorphological characteristics and further confirmed by precise molecular identification using the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region and identified as Aspergillus niger D-5, Aspergillus sp. NIO-01 and Aspergillus stellatus sp. LM-03. These species were explored for their biologically active metabolites and indented as linoleic acid (1), ethyl linoleate (2), terrain (3), butyrolactone (4), and a new metabolite phenethyl oxopyrane (5) characterized by extensive 1D NMR (1H and 13C) and 2D NMR (HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) analyses, high-resolution mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These species crude extract exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity, and anti-cancerous activities. We first time report, new dahejpyrone (kavapyrone analog, 5) from Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus niger D-5 extract exhibited higher inhibition to Gram positive bacteria and Candida albicans. The isolated molecules from these species need to be characterized to determine their precise biological activities. In conclusion, the land use land cover classes reveal a strong correlation of mangroves with microbial nature.&lt;/p&gt;
