Abstract Indole diterpenoids constitute a large family of natural products that are characterized by a hybrid molecular architecture consisting of an indole nucleus and diterpenoid moiety. Their pharmacologically and agriculturally important biological properties as well as intriguing molecular architectures have attracted much attention from many synthetic organic chemists. In 2012, we succeeded in the concise total synthesis of a paspalane-type indole diterpenoid, namely paspalinine, by developing a highly efficient indole ring formation protocol. After the report of this total synthesis, 4 research groups achieved the total syntheses of other paspalane- and nodulisporane-type indole diterpenoids using current state-of-the-art methods. This review summarizes the total syntheses of the paspalane- and nodulisporane-type indole diterpenoids that were described in the last 10 years.

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

Pyranone natural products have attracted great attention in recent years from chemists and biologists due to their fascinating stereoisomeric structural features and impressive bioactivities. A large number of stereoselective total syntheses of these compounds have been described in the literature. The natural pyranones with long side chains have recently received significant importance in the synthetic field. In the present article, we aim to review the modern progress of the stereoselective total syntheses of these natural pyranones containing long-chain substituents.

The bengazoles are marine natural products with unique structure, containing two oxazole rings flanking a single carbon. They show very potent antifungal activity. The total syntheses of bengazole C and E are described following a convergent route which involves diastereoselective cycloaddition of an appropriately substituted nitrile oxide with a butane-1,2-diacetal-protected alkenediol as the key step.

Quaternary Carbons

Contiguous quaternary carbons in terpene natural products remain a major challenge in total synthesis. Synthetic strategies to overcome this challenge will be a pivotal prerequisite to the medicinal application of natural products and their analogs or derivatives. In this review, we cover syntheses of natural products that exhibit a dense assembly of quaternary carbons and whose syntheses were uncompleted until recently. While discussing their syntheses, we not only cover the most recent total syntheses but also provide an update on the status quo of modern syntheses of complex natural products. Herein, we review (±)-canataxpropellane, (+)-waihoensene, (–)-illisimonin A and (±)-11-O-debenzoyltashironin as prominent examples of natural products bearing contiguous quaternary carbons.

Lycopodium Alkaloids

The palhinine family of Lycopodium alkaloids were first reported in 2010, which feature an intriguing isotwistane carbon cage and a nine-membered azonane ring. It is noteworthy that the tetracyclic 5/6/6/9 skeleton was unprecedented in Lycopodium alkaloids before their seminal discovery. Over the past decade, extensive synthetic efforts stemming from seven research groups have resulted in two racemic total syntheses to date. This review article takes the opportunity to survey these efforts and achievements so as to promote further research towards the asymmetric total synthesis of palhinine alkaloids.
