Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are prototypical cation-selective, ligand-
gated ion channels that mediate fast neurotransmission in the central and peripheral …

The last two decades or so have witnessed an upsurge in defining the art of designing
complex natural products and nature-inspired molecules. Throughout these decades …

Chiral perhydroindoles are found in a number of natural products and biologically active
compounds. Therefore, the development of new asymmetric methodology for rapid access to …

An unprecedented organocatalytic asymmetric desymmetrization of para-quinamines
leading to functionalized hydroindoles, a common motif in many alkaloids, has been …

Erythrina L. genus (Fabaceae) comprises about 115 species, and it has been extensively
studied, mainly because of its alkaloids, which have pharmacological properties …

A DBU-catalyzed desymmetric [3+ 2] cycloaddition between para-quinamines and
photogenerated ketenes was developed for the first time. Under the irradiation of low-energy …

A general and scalable access to the aeruginosin family of marine natural products,
exhibiting potent inhibitory activity against serine proteases, is reported. This was enabled …

BACKGROUND The cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) is one of the most invasive pests
of cotton. Many botanical phytochemicals have a long history as a source of insecticides …

A general synthetic methodology toward the erythrina alkaloids has been developed.
Inspired by a proposed biosynthetic mechanism, the medium‐sized chiral biaryl lactam was …

We describe a silver catalyzed [3+ 2] diastereoselective annulation of p‐quinamines and
ketenimine zwitterionic salts, leading to anti‐3‐substituted hydroindolin‐2‐imines under mild …
