During the recent past years, tremendous efforts have been made to establish
enantioselective routes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to their …

Cyclitols are defined as cycloalkanes containing one hydroxyl group on each of three or
more ring atoms; that is, they are cycloalkane polyols, excluding diols. 1 The term inositol is …

The nitroso Diels–Alder (NDA) reaction is an attractive strategy for the synthesis of 3, 6-
dihydro-1, 2-oxazines and 1-amino-4-hydroxy-2-ene derivatives. Herein we report the Cu (I) …

Covering: July 2008 to June 2010. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep., 2009, 26, 363–381
Structurally diverse alkaloids, which show significant biological activities, are abundant in …

This update covers the syntheses of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids since the publication of the
last major review in 2008. A short summary of past syntheses and their step count is …

Alkaloids are not only one of the most intensively studied classes of natural products, their
wide spectrum of pharmacological activities also makes them indispensable drug …

The catalytic CC bond activation by rhodium complexes has found a wide application in
organic synthesis. The course of the reaction is usually controlled by the proper ligand …

The AChE inhibitory activity of alkaloid extracts and compounds has been in the focus of
research on the plants of Amaryllidoideae subfamily since the approval of galanthamine in …

Rapid reaction of NaBH4 with MeOH precludes its use as a solvent for large-scale ester
reductions. We have now learned that a catalytic amount of NaOMe (5 mol%) stabilizes …
