Flavonoids are a group of natural polyphenolic substances that are abundant in vegetables,
fruits, grains, and tea. Chiral A-ring-containing flavonoids are an important group of natural …

A new synthetic strategy for C7-carbasugars is developed via an intramolecular Morita–
Baylis–Hillman reaction, in which a substituted dial precursor prepared from d-mannose …

A concise formal synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 is described. Key features involve the
coupling of the multisubstituted tetrahydroisoquinoline and phenylalaninol moieties via a …

Abstract Synthesis of (+)-Pericosine B,(+)-Pericosine C,(+)-COTC and a 7-chloro-analogue
of (+)-Gabosine C was achieved via tandem seleno-Michael/aldol reactions as key steps …

The plant Psychotria kirkii hosts an obligatory bacterial symbiont, Candidatus Burkholderia
kirkii, in nodules on their leaves. Recently, a glucosylated derivative of (+)‐streptol,(+) …

Gabosines and their natural analogues, belonging to C7 carbasugars, have attracted great
attention in synthesis due to their rich structural variety and promising biological activities. A …

The first total synthesis of zalypsis and the practical synthesis of phthalascidin (Pt-650) are
achieved through the Pictet-Spengler cyclization coupling strategy. The direct iodination of …

A flexible strategy has been developed to synthesize divergent flavonoids bearing a chiral A-
ring. As two key steps, the coupling via a boron-mediated aldol condensation and the …

A collective synthesis of the C7 epoxyquinones has been achieved by a concise and flexible
strategy, in which the employment of (–)-shikimic acid as starting material permits the rapid …

A stereoselective and column-economic approach to (+)-penostatins A and C has been
developed. The multisubstituted A ring and B/C rings in their unique tricyclic framework are …
