Pericyclic reactions have long been considered a biosynthetic rarity. In contrast to their
prominence in the laboratory, they seemed to play only minor roles in Nature. Over the past …

Chiral chromans (Fig. 1) constitute the core of numerous natural products and synthetic
analogs (Scheme 1) displaying an extensive array of biological activities. As such, chiral …

The 1, 4-benzoquinone moiety is a common structural feature in a large number of
compounds that have received considerable attention owing to their broad spectrum of …

This paper describes a new artificial cyclase, optically pure 3-o-fluorobenzyloxy-2-hydroxy-2
'-(p-methoxybemzyl)-1, 1 '-binaphthyl⊙ SnCl4, which is effective for the enantioselective …

A comprehensive overview of the taiwaniaquinoid family of natural products is presented. A
summary of the isolation, biosynthesis, and biological activity of these compounds is …

A scalable, divergent synthesis of bioactive meroterpenoids has been developed. A key
component of this work is the invention of “borono-sclareolide”, a terpenyl radical precursor …

A biosynthetically inspired synthesis of (+)-liphagal has been achieved from (+)-sclareolide
in 13 steps (9% overall yield). The key step is a biomimetic ring expansion of a highly …

Conclusion In conclusion, we have presented here a sample of various strategies and
approaches that have been employed in constructing 1-oxadecalins for a diverse array of …

The quinone/hydroquinone sesquiterpenes of drimane or rearranged drimane skeletons
constitute a wide and diverse group of secondary metabolites of mixed biogenesis. These …
