摘要

Kaurane, especially ent-kaurane diterpenoids are integral parts of terpenoid natural products, and possess various bioactivities, including antibacterial, antitumor, antimalarial and antiviral activities. Additionally, as a result of intramolecular oxidations, cleavages and rearrangements, the tetracyclic ent-kaurane also shows attractive structural diversity. Hence, the total syntheses of ent-kauranes have evoked a great deal of interest in the synthetic community. This review presents the recent advances in the synthesis of ent-kaurane and kauranediterpenoids.
