“…Activities such as AChE inhibitory, anticancer, cytostatic, antivirus, and antifungal activities have been discovered in these natural products. , Among >600 Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, lycorane is a representative of the lycorine class in which three contiguous chiral centers are embedded in a minimally substituted framework . Despite the extensive effort by various research groups to implement an effective total synthesis of lycorane since the first report by Hill and co-workers in 1962, the published synthetic strategies remain mostly racemic, and the asymmetric syntheses, particularly catalytic asymmetric ones, are limited . Furthermore, in known asymmetric methods, a thorny issue, asymmetric total synthesis for all stereoisomers, could not be tackled.…”
