The Cephalotaxus genus is well-known owing to the numerous complex, biologically
relevant natural products that can be obtained from its constituent species. The successful …

Cephanolides A–D are cephalotane-type diterpenoids featuring a novel 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic
core embedded with a bridged δ-lactone. The asymmetric and divergent total syntheses of …

Herein, we report the first total syntheses of complex cephalotaxus diterpenoids cephanolide
B and C from commercially available 5-bromo-2-methylanisole. Key to the success of this …

CsCTS, a new diterpene synthase from Cephalotaxus sinensis responsible for forming
cephalotene, the core skeleton of cephalotane‐type diterpenoids with a highly rigid 6/6/5/7 …

Mannolide C is a complex hexacyclic C20 cephalotane‐type diterpenoid featuring a highly
strained 7/6/6/5 tetracyclic core containing eight consecutive stereocenters and two bridging …

Deoxyfortalpinoid F, fortalpinoid A, and cephinoid H are members of the Cephalotaxus
diterpenoids class of natural products, which feature diverse chemical structures and …

Described herein is the first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)‐harringtonolide, a natural
diterpenoid with an unusual tropone imbedded in a cagelike framework. The key …

Seventeen new 17-nor-cephalotane-type diterpenoids, fortalpinoids A–Q (1–17), were
isolated from the seeds of Cephalotaxus fortunei var. alpine. Compound 12 represents the …

Abstract Cephafortunoids A–D (1–4), four new compounds, together with ten known ones (5–
14), were isolated from the branches and leaves of Cephalotaxus fortunei var. alpina. 1 and …

An account of synthetic work directed toward the total synthesis of the cytotoxic cephalotaxus
norditerpenoid, harringtonolide, is disclosed. An initial Lewis Acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder/Ene …
