Indole Alkaloids

Indole Alkaloids: Spirooxindole details the multistep synthesis of natural products using schematic diagrams, providing a quick-and-easy way to review and understand new and novel synthetic strategies to construct structural frameworks of natural products. As a volume in the Visual Guides to Natural Product Synthesis series, this book presents the schematic total syntheses of natural products containing a 'spirooxindole core structure. It covers spirooxindole molecules through visual diagrams, highlighting key steps involved in total, formal and semi-syntheses. Sections cover Brevianamide A and B, Citrinadin A and B, Coerulescine and Horsfiline, Elacomine and Isoelacomine, Gelsemine, Paraherquamide A and B, Rynchophylline, Isorynchophylline, and more. Visual layouts provide quick-and- easy access to developed synthetic routes towards the targeted spirooxindoles. - Outlines synthetic strategies for natural products bearing a spirooxindole core structure- Includes schematic diagrams of multistep synthetic routes, highlighting key steps along the way- Describes all routes for the formal synthesis, semi-synthesis and total synthesis of spirooxindole alkaloids
