Abstract
The pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloid family consisting of discorhabdins and makaluvamines exhibits antitumor activities derived from their unique highly-fused structures. The total synthesis of them and the key reactions used in the total synthesis of these compounds are described.
Keywords: discorhabdin c, yamamura's synthesis, heathcock's synthesis, white's formal synthesis, makaluvamine a, kraus's synthesis

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
