This review aims at drawing a parallel between all known monoterpene indole alkaloids oligomers by illustrating the chemical logic underlying their assembly.
Over the past few decades, the advent of C–H activation has led to a rethink among chemists about the synthetic strategies employed for multi-step transformations.
This review highlights structural diversity, biosynthesis, biomimetic synthesis, and biological functions of trimeric natural products. These biosynthetic pathways could lead to the discovery of more bioactive trimers through (bio)synthesis.
This review provides a thorough overview of desymmetrization strategy in natural product total synthesis, highlighting its synthetic principle, advantages, current challenges and opportunities.
Synthesis of unnatural indoles and indolines as key steps in the total synthesis of complex natural products, a recent review.
