Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic
and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant
developmentsofthelast5–10yearsarepresented,usingselectedexamplestoillus-
trate the principles discussed. A description of the laboratory procedures involved
is often useful to the reader. The coverage is not exhaustive in data, but rather
conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-
specialistreadertounderstandtheinformationpresented.

Preface
Naturalproductchemistryveryoftenstimulatesthedevelopmentofnovelpharma-
ceutical drugs. In fact, the vast majority of new lead structures in medicinal
chemistryarederivedfromframeworksofnaturallyoccurring compounds.Inthis
respect alkaloids lead the way and consequently a breathtaking progress in the
chemistryofalkaloidshastakenplaceoverthelastcentury.Especiallyoverthepast
decades, we can follow the evolution of numerous novel synthetic methodologies
for the total synthesis of biologically active alkaloids. Due to space limitation, of
course only a few aspects of some recent developments in “Alkaloid Synthesis”
couldbehighlightedinthepresentvolumeofTopicsinCurrentChemistry.Insix
contributions,differentresearchteamsfromAustria,Australia,Canada,Japanand
Germanyhavesummarizedimportantachievementsofthepastdecade.
Inthefirstchapter,MarikoKitajimaandHiromitsuTakayamafromtheGradu-
ate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Chiba University in Japan describe the
isolationandasymmetricsynthesisofLycopodiumalkaloids.Thefollowingchapter
isajointcontributionbyUweRinnerfromtheInstituteofOrganicChemistryatthe
University of Vienna in Austria and Tomas Hudlicky from the Department of
Chemistry and Centre of Biotechnology at Brock University in St. Catharines,
Canada. They discuss recent developments inthe synthesisof morphine alkaloids
and derivatives. Thomas Lindel, Nils Marsch and Santosh Kumar Adla from the
Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Technical University of Braunschweig de-
