Recent progress in the total synthesis of pyrrole-containing natural products (2011–2020)

Total syntheses of natural products containing spirocarbocycles.

The structures of natural products from a variety of sources contain spirocycles, two rings that share a common atom. The spiro motif is finding increasing inclusion in drug candidates, and as a structural component in several promising classes of chiral ligands used in asymmetric synthesis. Total syntheses of products containing all-carbon spirocycles feature several common methods of ring clo...

Recent progress on the total synthesis of acetogenins from Annonaceae

An overview of recent progress on the total synthesis of acetogenins from Annonaceae during the past 12 years is provided. These include mono-tetrahydrofurans, adjacent bis-tetrahydrofurans, nonadjacent bis-tetrahydrofurans, tri-tetrahydrofurans, adjacent tetrahydrofuran-tetrahydropyrans, nonadjacent tetrahydrofuran-tetrahydropyrans, mono-tetrahydropyrans, and acetogenins containing only gamma-...

Synthesis of natural products containing the pyrrolic ring.

Natural products as antifouling compounds: recent progress and future perspectives.

Since early 2008, an increasing number of countries have ratified an international treaty to ban the application of antifouling (AF) coatings based on organotin compounds (eg tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin). As a result, the demand for environmentally friendly, non-toxic or low-toxicity AF compounds and technologies (green AF agents) has become an urgent reality. Marine coatings based on Cu...
