title: Chemical Synthesis of the Echinopine Sesquiterpenoids.
abstract: As new members of the sesquiterpenoid family, echinopines A and B were found to possess an unprecedented [3/5/5/7] carbon framework, which has stimulated considerable interest among the chemistry community since their isolation. This review article documents chronologically the steps towards chemical synthesis of the echinopine sesquiterpenoids, showcasing different strategies by resorting to the toolkit of organic chemistry.
