A Comprehensive History of Arynes in Natural Product Total Synthesis

TL;DR: All reports of total syntheses that utilize arynes in ways that build complexity or introduce motifs essential to the completion of their targets are recounted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in the application of Diels-Alder reactions involving o-quinodimethanes, aza-o-quinone methides and o-quinone methides in natural product total synthesis.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent advances in Diels-Alder reactions involving in situ-generated o-QDMs, o- QMs and aza-o-QMs, highlighting the power and potential of this strategy in organic synthesis and natural product total synthesis.
