Conspectus Three-dimensional cage-like natural products represent astounding and long-
term challenges in the research endeavors of total synthesis. A central issue that synthetic …

Vilmoraconitine belongs to one of the most complex skeleton types in the C19-diterpenoid
alkaloids, which architecturally features an unprecedented heptacyclic core possessing a …

The Robinson annulation is a significant reaction for the synthesis of α, β‐unsaturated
ketone ring including the generation of two C− C bonds. It involves a Michael addition of a …

The first asymmetric total synthesis of the hexacyclic veatchine-type C20-diterpenoid
alkaloid (−)-garryine is presented. Key steps include a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective Heck …

The napelline-type alkaloids possess an azabicyclo [3.2. 1] octane moiety and an ent-
kaurane-type tetracyclic skeleton (6/6/6/5) along with varied oxidation patterns embedded in …

The first and asymmetric total syntheses of two C11-oxygenated hetisine-type diterpenoid
alkaloids, namely,(+)-davisinol and (+)-18-benzoyldavisinol, is described. The concise …

A ring distortion approach for the synthesis of an advanced intermediate en route to
rhodomolleins XIV and XLII was described, which led to successful construction of the …

Here, we report the first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-talassimidine and (+)-talassamine,
two hetidine-type C20-diterpenoid alkaloids. A highly regio-and diastereoselective 1, 3 …

A new asymmetric synthesis of the A/E-ring fragment of C18-diterpenoid alkaloids is
described. The crucial contiguous stereogenic centers at C4, C5, and C11 were established …

Abstract The Diels‐Alder adducts of masked ortho‐benzoquinone (MOB) normally perform
high regio‐and stereoselectivity and are generated under mild conditions. The advantages …
