Abstract
Lophotoxin is a structurally unique and prominent marine furanocembranolide natural product. Despite numerous attempts since its discovery in 1981, the total synthesis of lophotoxin has not yet been achieved to date. This review summarized synthetic efforts and recent progress since 1984 in the synthesis of the lophotoxin skeleton and its analogues. Moreover, strategic perspectives on a range of transannulation approaches for furanocembranoid synthesis were also highlighted herein.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
