The term functionalized isocyanides refers to all those isocyanides in which a neighbouring
functional group can finely tune the reactivity of the isocyano group or can be exploited in …

Gold catalysis is an extremely enthusiastic field of investigation in the catalysis area. The
development of alternative, highly inventive, precompetitive techniques based on gold …

The total synthesis of lundurines A–C has been accomplished in racemic and enantiopure
forms in 11–13 and 12–14 steps, respectively, without protection/deprotection of functional …

This digest manuscript delineates recent developments in the context of sulfur-and selenium-
catalyzed oxidative and isohypsic functionalization reactions of simple alkenes. The …

The total synthesis of seven members of the lapidilectine and grandilodine family of
alkaloids has been accomplished in racemic and enantiopure form without protection …

The total syntheses of selected natural products using different versions of the Ugi
multicomponent reaction is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The revision covers the …

A regioselective synthesis of indole‐3‐carboxylic acid esters from anilines and diazo
compounds has been realized by making use of the pyrimidyl group‐assisted rhodium …

A total synthesis of (±)‐lundurines A and B is described. These natural products have a
unique hexacyclic skeleton which includes a cyclopropane‐fused indoline. A stereospecific …

The first manganese-catalyzed cyclopropanation of indoles is reported in moderate to
excellent yield with methyl-2-diazo-2-arylacetates. This new strategy involved acetyl …

The first total synthesis of the opened-type Kopsia alkaloid grandilodine B is reported. Four
stereocenters of this alkaloid, three of them quaternary, are stereoselectively generated by a …
