Investigations on Biomimetic Dimerization in Natural Product Synthesis

Abstract

Biomimetic dimerization is a fascinating pathway to natural product synthesis. By using structurally inferior monomers, complex molecular architectures can be readily established with distinct efficiency and elegance. In this Account, our investigation on biomimetic dimerization in natural product synthesis has been summarized, which includes our synthetic exploration of linderaspirone A, bi-linderone, parvistemin A, (±)-diperezone, scabellone B, and spiroxins A/C/D.

1 Introduction

2 Biomimetic Dimerization in the Synthesis of Linderaspirone A and Bi-linderone

3 Biomimetic Dimerization in the Synthesis of Parvistemin A and (±)-Diperezone

4 Biomimetic Dimerization in the Synthesis of Scabellone B

5 Dimerization Investigation in the Synthesis of Spiroxins A/C/D

6 Conclusion

Key words

biomimetic synthesis - bioactivity - dimerization - natural product - biosynthetic proposal - oxidative coupling - oxo-6π electrocyclization
