This volume presents research work carried out over a wide front of natural product chemistry. It includes the synthesis of dendrobatid alkaloids, aspidosperma and related alkaloids and some natural products via aliphatic nitro derivatives, cannabinoids, brassinosteroids, quinocarcin and its relate compounds, mannostatins and cyclophellitols and derivatives of grandiflorenic acid and some related diterpines. The text also presents marine cyclic halo ether compounds, oxidative ring transformation furylcarbinols and stereoselective synthesis of C-branded nucleoside analogues. Work on novel polysaccharides from microorganisms and plants, the dereplication of plant-derived natural products, siderophores from fluorescent pseudomonas is also presented.
Recent advances in the synthesis of dendrobatid alkaloids; synthesis of some aspidosperma and related alkaloids; synthesis of natural products via aliphatic nitroderivatives; steroespecific cann synthesis - the application of new techniques to a classical problem; methods for construction of si of brassinosteroids; totla synthesis of quinocarcin and its related compounds; synthesis of mannosta and cyclophellitols, new cyclitol inhibitors for glycoside metabolism of glyvoproteins and glycolipi molecular rearrangements in the derivatives of grnadiflorenic acid [(-)-kaura-9(11), 16-diene-19-oic and some related diterpenes; total syntheses of cyclic halo ether componds from marine origin; oxida ring transformation of 2-furylcarbinols in natural product syntheses; stereoselective synthesis of C branded nucleoside analogues; bioactive marine macrolides; hormones in the red swamp crayfish; the structure and antigenicity of novel polysaccharides from microorganisms and plants; the dereplicatio plant-derived natural products; siderophones from fluorescent pseudomonas.
