Abstract:We present a selection of elegant and diverse biomimetic syntheses of complex natural product dimers.
The dimerisation pathways discussed encompass the most prevalent strategies, including: Diels-Alder, Aldol, Mannich,
conjugate addition, oxidative, radical and photochemical approaches; each underpinned through rational biosynthetic
speculation.
