Efficient syntheses of eight key cannabinoids were established and optimized. Predominant
cannabinoids such as cannabigerol (CBG-C5) and cannabidiol (CBD-C5) were prepared …

An efficient and regioselective alkenylation of azaheterocycle N-oxides with alkenes
catalyzed by iodine under metal-and external oxidant-free reaction conditions has been …

Covering: January to December, 2016 previous review Nat. Prod. Rep., 2016, 33, 1227–
1238 This review covers the isolation and chemistry of diterpenoids from terrestrial as …

The pyrazolo-azepino-centred polyheterocyclic fused system is a privileged scaffold, but it
lacks an effective synthetic approach, with modular synthesis being even more scarce …

The thermal degradation of cannabichromene (CBC, 3) is dominated by cationic reactions
and not by the pericyclic rearrangements observed in model compounds. The rationalization …

A terpene‐based biorefinery is described that uses crude sulfate turpentine (CST) and gum
turpentine (GT) to produce mixtures of p‐menthadienes (p‐MeDs) as biorenewable terpene …

Upon treatment with a combination of HFIP and an organic sulfonic acid, alkenes behave as
Brønsted bases and protonate to give carbocations which can be trapped by electron-rich …

Treatment with iodine cleanly converts various p-menthane-type phytocannabinoids and
their carboxylated precursors into cannabinol (CBN, 1a). The reaction is superior to …

A facile gold-catalyzed oxidation terminal alkynes to synthesize substituted
dihydronaphthalen-2 (1 H)-ones 3 and phenanthrenols 5 was realized. Various useful …

Naturally occurring nootkatone, with reported insecticidal and acaricidal properties, has
been used as a lead to generate molecular diversity and, consequently, new insect …
