Many compounds derived from living organisms have found a use in crop protection. These
compounds have formed the basis of chemical synthesis programmes to derive new …

The directed aldol reaction allows the construction of new carbon–carbon bonds in a regio‐,
diastereo‐, and enantioselective manner. The kinetically controlled, boron‐mediated aldol …

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a prototypical small molecule natural product that can form ion
channels in living eukaryotic cells and has remained refractory to microbial resistance …

Marinomycins A− C (1− 3), and their monomeric analogues monomarinomycin A (m-1) and
iso-monomarinomycin A (m-2), were synthesized by a convergent strategy from key building …

Allylic boron compounds have gained a prominent position as a useful class of synthetic
reagents in the past 25 years. Their general structures, 1 and 2, and their utility in carbonyl …

A century after their discovery, phosphonates have become important compounds
recognized both for their use as efficient reagents in organic synthesis and for their …

Natural products possess a broad diversity of structure and function, and they provide
inspiration for chemistry, biology, and medicine. In this review article, we highlight and place …

Structurally complex polyketide natural products, isolated from a variety of marine and
terrestrial sources, continue to provide a valuable source of rewarding targets for the …

It was reported for the first time that hot water as a mildly acidic catalyst efficiently promoted
1, n-rearrangement (n= 3, 5, 7, 9) of allylic alcohols. In some cases, the rearrangement …
