Covering: 2011–2017 Radical cyclizations have a rich history in organic chemistry and have
been particularly generous to the field of natural product synthesis. Owing to their ability to …

This tutorial review highlights the development of radical-based bioinspired synthesis of
terpenes from the initial proposal to the development of modern catalytic methods for …

One of the largest classes of naturally occurring bioactive compounds, the terpenoids, is of
extraordinary pharmacological importance. 1, 2 The sphere of activity of terpenoids covers …

A divergent strategy for assembling pyrone diterpenes is presented. Capitalizing on the
unique stereo-and chemoselectivity features of radical-based chemistry, the core decalin of …

The power of cation-initiated cyclizations of polyenes for the synthesis of polycyclic
terpenoids cannot be overstated. However, a major limitation is the intolerance of many …

The beauty of cascade reactions to bestow us with cumbersome organic scaffolds has made
them a cutting-edge area of research. Although the planning of cascades may require …

Meroterpenoids are natural products of hybrid biosynthetic origins—derived from both
terpenoid and polyketide pathways—with a wealth of biological activities. Given their …

Covering: up to 2011 The biosynthesis of cyclic terpenoids and polyethers involves enzyme-
initiated cascade reactions for ring formation. While the former are obtained by electrophilic …

Herein, we describe the protecting-group-free total synthesis of two structurally diverse
Isodon diterpenoids,(+)-ent-kauradienone (3) and (−)-jungermannenone C (4), in 12 and 14 …

Natural products have long been important inspirations for the development of chemical
methodologies, theories, and technologies, and ultimately, discoveries of new drugs and …
