Abstract

The third part of a planned review on developments in the field of total and formal total synthesis of the post-secodine indole alkaloids focuses on types of rearranged alkaloids, i.e. on the skeletons with altered connectivities next to the indol(e)ine moiety, especially with a new bond to N-1. It reviews the synthesis of melodane, goniomitine, chippiine/dippinine, lirofoline and tronocarpine alkaloids, as well as alkaloids of secoschizozygane/vallesamidine, schizozygane and isoschizozygane type. It covers the literature from approximately 1991 up to May 2011. A review with 115 references.

Heterocycles from cyclopropanes: applications in natural product synthesis.

Deborah Kerr, Dennis A. Carson (2009)

The construction of heterocyclic compounds from activated cyclopropane derivatives offers an alternative strategy for the preparation of molecules that may be of interest from a structural or biological standpoint. Several newly developed methods provide access to densely functionalized heterocycles in a manner that can be considered useful for both diversity- and target-oriented synthetic approaches. This tutorial review focuses on the latter, describing recent developments and applications of cyclopropane ring-expansion reactions in natural product synthesis.
