Abstract
The preparation of natural product libraries by total synthesis has become an extremely important and attractive research topic in organic chemistry. In higher plants, secologanin, which belongs to the monoterpene family, is the starting point for derivation into natural products with different skeletons and biological activities. This Account presents a practical total synthesis of secologanin using an asymmetric organocatalytic cascade reaction. In addition, a collective total synthesis of secologanin-related natural products, such as monoterpenoid indole alkaloids and hetero-oligomeric iridoid glycosides, is described from the synthesized secologanin and its derivatives. To date, we have successfully synthesized 39 secologanin-related natural products using bioinspired strategies with reference to biosynthesis, and in this Account, details of the synthetic strategies for 20 of them are presented. By combining these total syntheses into a single Account, we hope to provide a better view of how the pieces connect to one another and how each piece fits together into the overall body of work.
