In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

Fungi have proved to be a rich and important source of a huge number of secondary
metabolites with a large variety of chemical structures and diverse biological activities …

Fungal meroterpenoids are secondary metabolites from mixed terpene-biosynthetic origins.
Their intriguing chemical structural diversification and complexity, potential bioactivities, and …

Abstract ortho‐Quinone methides (o‐QMs) are emerging as highly useful intermediates, the
inherent reactivity of which can be used in linchpin reactions for the construction of complex …

The strained cyclopropane and/or cyclobutane subunits occurred in many complex natural
products including terpenoids, steroids and alkaloids. Natural products with cyclopropane …

Chiral biphenols were found to catalyze the enantioselective asymmetric addition of aryl-or
alkenylboronates to o-quinone methides. Substituted 2-styryl phenols were obtained in good …

Rhodomyrtusials A–C, the first examples of triketone‐sesquiterpene meroterpenoids
