Recent Advances in Total Synthesis of Alkaloids from α,β‐Unsaturated Aldehydes

Abstract Alkaloids are structurally complex pharmacologically valuable natural products, the synthesis of which attracts the attention of the world scientific community. This review summarizes and highlights the recent advancements in the total synthesis of different family alkaloids (such as Lycopodium, Manzamine, Indole, Amaryllidaceae, as well as other alkaloids) from transformations of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes.
