Strategies for the synthesis of Stemona alkaloids: an update

<p>The <em>Stemona</em> alkaloids, which are found in plant species from the family Stemonaceae, represent a tremendously large and structurally-diverse family of natural products. This review presents and discusses a selection of case studies, grouped by alkaloid class, that showcase the key strategies and overall progress that has been made in the synthesis of <em>Stemona</em> alkaloids and related compounds since 2009. Structural reassignments that have been reported over this period are also identified where necessary.</p>
