… We first undertook a retrosynthetic analysis of taiwaniadduct D (1), as illustrated in Scheme
1. The initial disconnection takes place at the C6–C14′ bond to provide taiwaniadduct B (2) …

… (7) Since many excellent reviews have been published for these biomimetic syntheses, (8,
9) this review focuses on the nonbiomimetic strategies for the total synthesis of terpenoids. …

… ester to furnish taiwaniadducts C and B (314 and 315), respectively. Subsequently,
carbonyl–ene cyclization of 315 promoted by Me 2 AlCl led to taiwaniadduct D (316, Scheme 35). …

… Taking advantage of a protocol (Na 2 CO 3 (aq), MeOH, 100 C) modified from that
developed for our synthesis of hybridaphniphylline B, (7) we obtained ketone 26 as a single C8 …

… Li and co-workers have accomplished the first total synthesis of taiwaniadducts B (72), C (73),
and D (75), where an Ir-catalyzed asymmetric polyene cyclization was exploited to …

… been successfully used in the total synthesis of natural products. … Taiwaniadducts B, C, and
D. Taiwaniaquinoids are a class of … From a biosynthetic perspective, taiwaniadduct D (37, …

… The first asymmetric total syntheses of taiwaniadducts B, C, and D, isolated from the Taiwanese
evergreen tree Taiwania cryptomeriodes, are reported. Biosynthetically these molecules …

… The LBA strategy has found use in the total synthesis of … cyclization in natural product
synthesis was demonstrated by … form taiwaniadduct C (141) and its regioisomer taiwaniadduct B …

… In summary, we have accomplished the asymmetric total synthesis of arcutinidine (3),
arcutinine (2), and arcutine (25). An expeditious and scalable route to a pentacyclic intermediate …

… Recently our group has also reported total synthesis of taiwaniaquinoids with various … for
synthetic approaches to complex taiwaniadducts B (2a) and taiwaniadduct F (2b) sharing all-…
