Conspectus Atropisomers, arising from conformational restriction, are inherently chiral due
to the intersecting dissymmetric planes. Since there are numerous applications of …

Many Fungi have a well-developed secondary metabolism. The diversity of fungal species
and the diversification of biosynthetic gene clusters underscores a nearly limitless potential …

Modular polyketide synthases (type I PKSs) in bacteria are responsible for synthesizing a
significant percentage of bioactive natural products. This group of synthases has a …

A modular synthesis of Ru (II)-NHC-diamine complexes from readily available chiral N-
heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and chiral diamines is disclosed for the first time. The well …

Covering: up to January 2017 This review gives a comprehensive overview of the
production of fungal volatiles, including the history of the discovery of the first compounds …

A carboxylate‐directed ortho‐C− H functionalization has been developed and it allows the
regiospecific introduction of allyl residues to benzoic acids. In the presence of a [Ru (p …

Melleins are 3, 4-dihydroisocoumarins mainly produced by fungi, but also by plants, insects
and bacteria. These specialized metabolites play important roles in the life cycles of the …

Because of extraordinary structural diversity and broad biological activities, natural products
have played a significant role in drug discovery. These therapeutically important secondary …

An entirely metal-free catalyst system consisting of an easily prepared recyclable new
TEMPO derived sulfonic salt catalyst, and mineral acids (NaNO2 and HCl) has been …

Volatile compounds released by 50 bacterial strains, 45 of them actinobacteria in addition to
three chloroflexi and two myxobacteria, have been collected by use of a closed-loop …
