Abstract

Oxidative coupling as a highly efficient and economic strategy for carbon-carbon bond formation has been applied in the total syntheses of natural products. Recently, Ma’s group achieved the total syntheses of four complex indole alkaloids by developing a highly versatile LiHMDS/I2 oxidative coupling condition, which merits an important progress in this filed. In this highlight, recent progress of Ma’s group is reviewed.
