Alkaloids of the Cactaceae — The Classics
Natural Product Communications, 2019 Alkaloids of the Cactaceae have been studied for the last 120 years. The first half of that period provided the “classic” compounds, after which a large number of usually very similar analogs were isolated or determined with modern methods. Although some

A Three‐Step Route to Functionalized Pyrrole‐2,5‐Dicarboxylic Acids from Galactaric Acid
ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Galactaric acid (GalA) has been used as substrate for a library of N‐substituted pyrrole‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acids (PDCAs). Existing routes to N‐substituted PDCAs require many steps or lack product isolation. We present a simple, scalable three‐step synthesis from GalA via a 2‐pyrone salt, giving isolated PDCA derivatives in high yield without ...
