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.

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

AbstractAlkaloids are a large family of natural products that mostly contain basic nitrogen atoms. Because of their intriguing structures and important functions, they have long been popular targets for synthetic organic chemists. China's chemists have made significant progress in the area of alkaloid synthesis over past decades. In this article, selected total syntheses of alkaloids from research groups in mainland China during the period 2011–16 are highlighted.

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.

Pladienolides, an emerging class of naturally occurring spliceosome modulators, exhibit interesting structural features, such as highly substituted 12-membered macrocycles and epoxide-containing diene side chains. The potential of pladienolides as anti-cancer agents is confirmed by H3B-8800, a synthetic analog of this natural product class, which is currently under Phase I clinical trials. Since its isolation in 2004 and the first total synthesis in 2007, a dozen total syntheses and synthetic approaches toward the pladienolide class have been reported to date. This review focuses on the eight completed total syntheses of naturally occurring pladienolides or their synthetic analogs, in addition to a synthetic approach to the main framework of the natural product.

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.
