Synthetic approaches toward sesterterpenoids

Nat Prod Rep. 2012 Jul;29(7):752-79. doi: 10.1039/c2np20005h. Epub 2012 Jun 1.

Abstract

Sesterterpenoids account for many bioactive natural products, often with unusual and complex structural features, which makes them attractive targets for synthetic chemists. This review surveys efforts undertaken toward the synthesis of sesterterpenoids, focusing on completed total syntheses and covering ca. 50 natural products in total.
