Now welcome, the most inspiring book today from a very professional writer in the world, asymmetric organocatalysis in natural product syntheses. This is the book that many people in the world waiting for to publish. After the announced of this book, the book lovers are really curious to see how this book is actually. Are you one of them? That's very proper. You may not be regret now to seek fo...

In this review we cover various approaches to meta- and paracyclophanes involving popular reactions. Generally, we have included a strategy where the reaction was used for assembling the cyclophane skeleton for further functionalization. In several instances, after the cyclophane is made several popular reactions are used and these are not covered here. We included various natural products rela...

Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products from Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230. The most active of these jadomycin analogues showed good activity against a variety of staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

A short, convergent and general strategy for stereoselective total synthesis of biologically active α-substituted γ-hydroxymethyl γ-lactone based natural products cananginone C and debilisone A has been developed. The salient features of this synthesis include Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling, Evans allylation, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and γ-lactonization. The originally proposed structu...

Structure revision of the recently characterized natural products, decurrensides A-E, is described. The revision is aided by fast and accurate computations of proton spin-spin coupling constants. While the (13)C chemical shifts calculations could reveal the misassignment of the original structures, the calculated spin coupling constants possess much higher structural information content, inform...

The first total synthesis of acetylhomoagmatine, a natural product isolated form the methanolic extracts from the sponge Cliona celata, is performed in four steps in a very high yield.
