“…These alkaloids have attracted great interest from synthetic chemists . After Heathcock’s pioneering work, the groups led by Carreira, A. Li, Smith, Fukuyama, Hanessian, Dixon, Zhai, Qiu, Xu, Gao, Sarpong, C. Li, and Lu have completed the remarkable total syntheses of a number of Daphniphyllum alkaloids. Notably, the yuzurine-type subfamily (Figure , 1 ), one of the largest subfamilies in Daphniphyllum alkaloids, includes ∼50 members .…”
