and apparent structural relationships between individual alkaloids are often based on their …

The principal methods for the synthesis of pyrrolizidine and indolizidine alkaloids and their
unnatural analogs are described. Six main “strategic” approaches in regard to a key step …

A vast array of natural organic compounds, the products of primary and secondary
metabolism, occur in plants. This dictionary provides basic information, including structural …

Alkaloids, represent a group of interesting and complex chemical compounds, produced by
the secondary metabolism of living organisms in different biotopes. They are relatively …

Australine [1], a tetrahydroxy pyrrolizidine alkaloid with a unique sub-stitution pattern, has
been isolated from seeds of Castanospermum australeand shown to be a po-tent and …

A versatile Rh (I)-catalyzed C6-selective decarbonylative C–H alkenylation of 2-pyridones
with readily available, and inexpensive alkenyl carboxylic acids has been developed. This …

The first Pd‐catalyzed enantioselective azidation of unactivated alkenes has been
established by using readily accessible 1‐azido‐1, 2‐benziodoxol‐3 (1H)‐one (ABX) as an …

1-(Benzenesulfonyl-diazoacetyl)-pyrrolidin-2-one was prepared by a diazo transfer of 1-(
