Abstract
This review summarizes the application of high-pressure chemistry in natural product
synthesis. By highlighting reactions that could not be promoted by conventional means
but that proceed readily under high-pressure conditions, we intend to disclose the
benefits of high-pressure-mediated reactions for organic transformations. The individual
syntheses are classified by the reaction type of the key step and are discussed briefly.
