Covering: 1970 to 2017 Diterpenes with a halimane skeleton constitute a small group of
natural products that can be biogenetically considered as being between labdane and …

Covering: up to 2020 In this review, we present state of the art methods for performing
dehydration reactions in alcohol substrates to deliver alkene products. The dehydration of …

The homolytic cleavage of C–C bonds adjacent to specific functional groups has lately
emerged as a versatile approach for molecular diversification. Despite the ubiquity and …

Covering: January 2009 to December 2010 This review covers the isolation and chemistry of
diterpenoids from terrestrial as opposed to marine sources and includes labdanes …

Ansellane‐type sesterterpenoids including, ansellones A‐G and (+)‐phorbadione are
structurally novel marine secondary metabolites which exhibit anticancer and anti‐HIV …

The synthesis of antifungal natural product drimenal was accomplished. Bio-inspired
optimization protruded chiral 8-(R)-drimane fused oxazinone D as a lead, considering …

A total synthesis of the marine sponge meroterpenoid (+)-aureol has been achieved in 12
steps (6% overall yield) from (+)-sclareolide. Key steps of the synthesis include a …

Nonactivated trienes and aryltrienes were cyclized into polycyclic compounds in good to
excellent yields under bismuth triflate catalysis in a biomimetic fashion. The reaction showed …

The divergent synthesis of (+)‐8‐epi‐puupehedione,(+)‐chromazonarol,(+)‐yahazunol, and
(+)‐yahazunone has been accomplished. The key steps were a palladium‐catalyzed …

The asymmetric synthesis of the marine meroterpenoid dactyloquinone A was accomplished
for the first time. The key advanced intermediate, a 6/6/6/6 tetracyclic core derivative, was …
