In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

The divergent total syntheses of complex natural products from a common intermediate have
attracted enormous attention in the chemical community in the past few years because it can …

physiological conditions is a common strategy employed by Nature to build molecular …

Inspired by a new biosynthetic hypothesis, we report a biomimetic total synthesis of
atrachinenins A and B that explains their racemic nature. The synthesis exploits an …
