Covering: 2008–2010 This report describes the recent applications of hypervalent iodine
reagents in the total synthesis of natural products. The large diversity of high-yielding and …

Conclusions The structural diversity of the natural product targets described in this review
illustrates the versatility of Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions. The reactions tolerated …

Covering: 1970 to 2020 By definition total synthesis is the art and science of making the
molecules of living Nature in the laboratory, and by extension, their analogues. Although …

Substituted pyranones and tetrahydropyrans are structural subunits of many bioactive
natural products. Considerable effort is devoted toward the chemical synthesis of these …

Reactions, which permit the selective deprotection of one silyl-protected alcohol in the
presence of another are reviewed. This review covers examples reported in the literature …

Transition metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions are ubiquitous in organic chemistry
providing an impressive technique for C–C bond formation. Whilst many electrophilic …

Biogenic furans are currently discussed as highly attractive alternative feedstock in a post-
fossil society; thus, also the creation of sustainable furan valorization pathways appears of …

The advent of organic synthesis in the 19th century, serendipitous as it was, set in motion a
revolution in science that continues to evolve into increasing levels of sophistication and to …

Oxidation reactions have been extensively studied in the context of the transformations of
biomass-derived furans. However, in contrast to the vast literature on utilizing the …

The Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction has evolved in the last years as one of the most
powerful and reliable method for stereocontrolled olefin synthesis. The reaction has become …
