Abstract
AbstractMarine‐derived species, in particular, fungi, algae, sponges, and coelenterates are fertile grounds for the discovery of biologically and pharmacologically potent compounds. These molecules are structurally unique and possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. The rigid spiroacetal framework, that is, tetrahydro‐spirofurofuranones is present in cephalosporolides E, F, H, and I, while the macrolactone structure is exemplified by cephalosporolides B, C, D, G, and J. These marine‐derived molecular architectures are appealing to the synthetic community for their stereoselective synthesis. The present review represents a comprehensive overview of all the reported syntheses of these marine‐derived molecules.
