Conspectus An ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) is a highly reactive chemical motif harnessed
by nature for a variety of purposes. Given its extraordinary reactivity and biological …

Covering: 2009 to 2013. This review covers the 188 novel marine natural products
described since 2008, from deep-water (50–> 5000 m) marine fauna including bryozoa …

Herein, we describe the first catalytic asymmetric intramolecular [4+ 2] cycloaddition of in situ
generated ortho‐quinone methides. In the presence of a confined chiral imidodiphosphoric …

Polar organisms have been found to develop unique defences against the extreme
environment environment, leading to the biosynthesis of novel molecules with diverse …

Covering: up to the end of 2019 Iron-and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases
(Fe/αKGs) represent a versatile and intriguing enzyme family by virtue of their ability to …

Abstract Development of new methods of heterocyclic synthesis is still a topical issue. In this
connection, the trend related to the use of highly reactive o-quinone methides for the …

A visible light-promoted radical (3+ 3) annulation of vinyldiazo compounds and
bromodifluoromethyl alkynyl ketones for the construction of gem-difluoro-masked o-quinone …

This review summarizes the very recent advances in organocatalytic asymmetric
cycloaddition reactions involving ortho‐quinone methides (o‐QMs), a family of versatile …

Herein presented is a review of the reactivity and synthetic utility of ortho-quinone methides
and ortho-quinone methide imines. These versatile intermediates have received significant …

The combination of an in situ formed MnL3 complex (HL= Hacac or R (C O) CH2CO2R)
and a chiral phosphoric acid HX* allows for a fully catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of 4 H …
