Propargyl alcohols are widely used in organic reactions. Their great success is rooted in the
presence of multiple functional groups. This review will focus on six types of mechanisms:(i) …

Covering: up to August 2015 Alkaloids account for some of the most beautiful and
biologically active natural products. Although they are usually classified along biosynthetic …

Enamides display a fine balance of stability and reactivity, which is now leading to their
increasing use in organic synthesis. Enamides offer multiple opportunities for the inclusion …

Covering: 1999 to August 2009. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep., 2000, 17, 117 In the

The design and synthesis of spirocycles is a challenging task because it involves the
creation of a quaternary center, which itself is considered to be one of the most difficult tasks …

Covering: up to the end of 2010 Polycyclic structures fused at a central carbon are of great
interest due to their appealing conformational features and their structural implications in …

Formal total syntheses of stemonamine and cephalotaxine bearing the core cyclopenta [1, 2-
