Radical and Radical-Polar Crossover Logic in Terpenoid Synthesis
The synthesis of complex natural products has shaped the field of organic chemistry, with translational applications spreading further into medicinal, agrochemical, and material sciences. As the largest class of natural products, terpenoids play a variety of roles in mediating antagonistic and beneficial interactions macroscopically, i.e., among organisms, and microscopically, i.e., on a (sub)cellular level. They defend many species of plants, animals, and microorganisms against predators, pathogens, and competitors, and they are involved in conveying messages within these organisms. Facilitating and streamlining the access to the most complex terpenoids, heavily rearranged and highly…
