Tropones and tropolones refer to non-benzenoid seven-membered aromatic compounds
with a carbonyl group (Scheme 1), which are also called troponoids or tropolonoids …

Cephanolides A–D are cephalotane-type diterpenoids featuring a novel 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic
core embedded with a bridged δ-lactone. The asymmetric and divergent total syntheses of …

The tetracyclic carbon skeleton of hainanolidol and harringtonolide was efficiently
constructed by an intramolecular oxidopyrylium-based [5+ 2] cycloaddition. An anionic ring …

Herein, we report the first total syntheses of complex cephalotaxus diterpenoids cephanolide
B and C from commercially available 5-bromo-2-methylanisole. Key to the success of this …

The Cephalotaxus genus is well-known owing to the numerous complex, biologically
relevant natural products that can be obtained from its constituent species. The successful …

Mannolide C is a complex hexacyclic C20 cephalotane‐type diterpenoid featuring a highly
strained 7/6/6/5 tetracyclic core containing eight consecutive stereocenters and two bridging …

Ten new cephalotane-type diterpenoids, cephanolides A–J (1–10), and two known
analogues were isolated and characterized from Cephalotaxus sinensis. Compounds 1–3 …

Deoxyfortalpinoid F, fortalpinoid A, and cephinoid H are members of the Cephalotaxus
diterpenoids class of natural products, which feature diverse chemical structures and …

Switchable reaction patterns of β-substituted cyclic enones via amine-based dienamine
activation are reported. While γ-regioselective vinylogous Michael addition was observed …
