seco-Labdanes: A Study of Terpenoid Structural Diversity Resulting from Biosynthetic C-C Bond Cleavage.

Published in: Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany) (2021)

The cleavage of a C-C bond is a complexity generating process, which complements oxidation and cyclisation events in the biosynthesis of terpenoids. This process leads to increased structural diversity in a cluster of related secondary metabolites by modification of the parent carbocyclic core. In this review, we highlight the diversifying effect of C-C bond cleavage by examining the literature related to seco-labdanes-a class of diterpenoids arising from such C-C bond cleavage events.
