“…It is easy to find in the literature, many examples of application in total synthesis of this catalysis through different reactions (Fig XII.2). One of the most extensively explored has been aldol reaction, key step in the syntheses of callipeltoside C [7], convolutamydine A, B, E [8], (+)-przewalskin B [9], ()-salinosporamide A [10], (+)-spongistatin 1 [11], (S)-()-3-butylphthalide [12], and ()-anominine [13] among many other examples. The Mannich reaction, a classical method for the creation of new C-C bonds, can be found in the synthesis of natural products, such as (2S,3R,4S)-4-hidroxyisoleucine [14].…”
