title: Biomimetic Approaches Towards The Synthesis of Complex Dimeric Natural Products.
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.
