Advances in polycyclization cascades in natural product synthesis

Abstract

Cascade reactions (also known as domino reactions) are arguably the most powerful means to achieve the construction of multiple ring systems in a single step. In this Tutorial Review, highlights in cascade polycyclizations applied to natural product syntheses over the last five years are discussed, including pericyclic, ionic, metal-catalyzed, organocatalytic, and radical processes. Significant developments in each of these fields that have advanced the state-of-the-art are a particular focus, including photochemical and electrochemical methods, novel biomimetic routes, and enantioselective cascades.
