Abstract
The total synthesis of post-Iboga alkaloids poses formidable challenges. So far, three groups have produced notable advancements through their endeavor. Sunkyu Han's group employed a ring-opening functionalization approach to accomplish semi-synthesis. Fu-she Han's group developed an asymmetric Michael/aldol tandem reaction to construct the aza-[3.3.1] bridged skeleton. Namba's group reported a one-pot tandem cyclization strategy to rapidly assemble the pentacyclic core of (±)-tronocarpine. This review focuses on the synthetic advances made from 2019 onward toward type III post-Iboga alkaloids, highlighting key strategic elements and synthetic milestones, and aims to inspire future endeavors in the total synthesis of this unique family.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
