摘要
From the 19th century to the present, the complex indole alkaloid strychnine has engaged the chemical community. In this Review, we examine why strychnine has been and remains today an important target for directed synthesis efforts. A selection of the diverse syntheses of strychnine is discussed with the aim of identifying their influence on the evolution of the strategy and tactics of organic synthesis. Strychnine thrillers beyond Agatha Christie: The complex indole alkaloid strychnine has engaged the chemical community since the 19th century. This Review examines why strychnine has been and still remains an important target for directed synthesis efforts. Selected syntheses of strychnine are discussed with the aim of identifying their influence on the evolution of the strategy and tactics of organic synthesis.
