Abstract
Recent developments related to the total syntheses of spermidine and spermine alkaloids are reviewed. Those alkaloids are kukoamine A 11, maytennine 30, celacinnine 31, celallocinnine 32, celafurine 33, celabenzine 34, dihydroperiphylline 35, (±) -dihydropalustrine 73, 75, lunarine 76, lunaridine 77, codonocarpine 79, and (-) -homaline 93. This article is constructed by following chapters : (i) acyclic spermidine and spermine alkaloids, (ii) macrocyclic spermidine alkaloids, (iii) macrocyclic spermine alkaloids, (iv) observations on biosyntheses, and (v) new synthetic methods of macrocyclic aminolactams.
