Indole Alkaloids: Spirooxindole

Indole Alkaloids: Spirooxindole details the multistep synthesis of natural products using schematic diagrams, providing a quick-and-easy way to review and understand new and novel synthetic strategies to construct structural frameworks of natural products. As a volume in the Visual Guides to Natural Product Synthesis series, this book presents the schematic total syntheses of natural products containing a spirooxindole core structure. It covers spirooxindole molecules through visual diagrams, highlighting key steps involved in total, formal and semi-syntheses. Sections cover Brevianamide A and B, Citrinadin A and B, Coerulescine and Horsfiline, Elacomine and Isoelacomine, Gelsemine, Paraherquamide A and B, Rynchophylline, Isorynchophylline, and more.

Visual layouts provide quick-and- easy access to developed synthetic routes towards the targeted spirooxindoles.
