Cutting-Edge and Time-Honored Strategies for Stereoselective Construction of C-N Bonds in Total Synthesis.

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive survey of methods used for stereoselective construction of carbon-nitrogen bonds during the total synthesis of nitrogen-containing natural products that have appeared in the literature since 2000.

Synthesis of Morphine Alkaloids and Derivatives

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent developments in the total synthesis of morphine alkaloids and some of the semisynthetic derivatives and reviews the methodology required for their preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regiospecific and stereoselective syntheses of (+/-) morphine, codeine, and thebaine via a highly stereocontrolled intramolecular 4 + 2 cycloaddition leading to a phenanthrofuran system.

TL;DR: Total syntheses of the morphine alkaloids are described that use a direct stereoselective formation of the phenanthrofuran system via an intramolecular 4 + 2 cycloaddition of a diene tethered to the 4-position of a 7-methoxybenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid ester.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quest for a practical synthesis of morphine alkaloids and their derivatives by chemoenzymatic methods.

TL;DR: This Account traces the evolution of its authors' approaches to morphine alkaloids and some commercial opiate-derived medicinal agents to offer more than the history of a search for the perfect design solution to a synthetic problem.

A Regio- and Diastereoselective Anodic Aryl-Aryl Coupling in the Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (-)-Thebaine.

TL;DR: A regio- and diastereoselective anodic coupling of 3',4',5'-trioxygenated laudanosine derivatives is presented, which finally enables electrochemical access to (-)-thebaine.
