The high oxidation state is characterized by the presence of multiple oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, carbonyl groups, and epoxides that are usually tough to construct selectively. In recent years, thanks to the development of efficient strategies and sophisticated methodologies, significant advancements have been made in the total syntheses of highly oxidized natural products (HONPs). In this review, we highlight recent examples of HONPs focusing on tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its derivatives, steroidal alkaloids, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenoids since 2019.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>\u0000 </p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Key Scientists</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In 2005, the Yang group applied the thioureas as ligands in the Pauson−Khand reaction for total synthesis of triterpene natural products. The methodological advances have achieved total syntheses of a series of topologically complex natural products with diverse structural features in the following years. In 2009, the Baran group established a pioneering “two-phase” approach for the total synthesis of highly oxidized terpenes, an innovative strategy has since inspired numerous advancements in the field. In 2011, Xu and Theodorakis achieved the total synthesis of (−)-jiadifenolide, a highly oxidized sesquiterpene from <i>Illicium</i>. In 2012, the Li group applied 6π electrocyclization for total synthesis of natural products containing aromatic rings. In 2014, the Inoue group introduced the α-alkoxy bridgehead radical, facilitating a unified total synthesis of ryanodane diterpenoids. In subsequent years, radical-based convergent strategies were employed for assembling HONPs. The Li group developed the type ΙΙ [5+2] reaction, which can be efficiently applied in the total synthesis of HONPs featuring bridged ring systems. The Reisman group presented the oxidation pattern analysis that guided their synthetic designs for the synthesis of complex, highly oxidized ryanodane and isoryanodane diterpenes. In 2017, the Gao group reported a photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction for constructing related polycyclic rings with elevated oxidation states. In 2018, the Ding group developed an unprecedented oxidative dearomatization-induced (ODI) [5+2] cycloaddition/pinacol- type 1,2-acyl migration cascade to assemble the highly oxygenated bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system, which was subsequently applied to the synthesis of highly oxidized grayanane diterpenoids.

Herein, three COFs with tailored interlayer distances and bond rotations are designed to modulate the ICT behaviours. The targeted COF (TPAZ-TPE-COF) achieved a significantly enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 21.22% in the solid state by restricting bond rotation and enlarging the layer distance. This represents a 3.5-fold and 530.5-fold improvement over TPAZ-PYTA-COF (6.15%), which has a shortened interlayer space, and TPAZ-PATA-COF (0.04%), which exhibits strong bond rotations, respectively. Importantly, TPAZ-TPE-COF also exhibits exceptional sensing performance for iron ions, with a detection limit at the ppb level.
