: Paroxetine is a potent inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and is widely prescribed for the treatment of depression and other neurological disorders. The synthesis of paroxetine and the possibility to prepare derivatives with a specific substitution pattern that may allow their use as biological probes, is an attractive topic especially for medicinal chemists engaged in neurosciences research. Considering the extensive work that was developed in the last decade on the total synthesis of paroxetine, this review summarizes the most important contributions in this field, organized according to the reagent that was used as starting material. Most of the methods allowed to prepare paroxetine in 4-9 steps with an overall yield of 9-66%. Despite the progress made in this area, there is still room for improvement, searching for new eco-friendly and sustainable synthetic alternatives.

Clavaminols are a new class of long-chain 2-amino-3-­alkanols that mostly contain 2R,3S-configurations. Owing to their interesting molecular architectures and promising activities, they have ­become popular targets for synthetic organic chemists. In this review, we highlight 12 total syntheses of clavaminols from different research groups during the period 2009 to 2018.1 Introduction2 Synthetic Approaches toward Clavaminols2.1 Total Synthesis by Chemla and Colleagues (2009)2.2 Total Synthesis by Greck and Colleagues (2010)2.3 Total Synthesis by Sutherland and Zaed (2011)2.4 Total Synthesis by Huang and Colleagues (2011)2.5 Total Synthesis by Kotora and Colleagues (2012)2.6 Total Synthesis by Kumar and Colleagues (2013)2.7 Total Synthesis by Prabhavathi Devi and Colleagues (2013 and 2016)2.8 Total Synthesis by Sarabia and Colleagues (2014)2.9 Total Synthesis by Mohapatra and Colleagues (2016)2.10 Total Synthesis by Lu and Colleagues (2016)2.11 Total Synthesis by Jin and Colleagues (2017)2.12 Total Synthesis by Kumar Pandey and Colleagues (2018)3 Conclusion
