Indole Alkaloids: Spirooxindole details the multistep synthesis of natural products using schematic diagrams, providing a quick-and-easy way to review and understand new and novel synthetic strategies to construct structural frameworks of natural products. As a volume in the Visual Guides to Natural Product Synthesis series, this book presents the schematic total syntheses of natural products containing a “spirooxindole” core structure. It covers spirooxindole molecules through visual diagrams, highlighting key steps involved in total, formal and semi-syntheses. Sections cover Brevianamide A and B, Citrinadin A and B, Coerulescine and Horsfiline, Elacomine and Isoelacomine, Gelsemine, Paraherquamide A and B, Rynchophylline, Isorynchophylline, and more.

Visual layouts provide quick-and- easy access to developed synthetic routes towards the targeted spirooxindoles.

Dr. Maliha Uroos completed her PhD in synthetic organic chemistry in 2012 from the University of Nottingham under HEC Faculty Development Scholarship. She was awarded EPSRC post-doctoral fellowship (2012-13) at the University of Nottingham, UK. She was appointed Lecturer at University of the Punjab in 2007 and currently working as Associate Professor (2020 to date) and Director, Centre for Research Ionic Liquid, School of Chemistry, University of the Punjab. Her main focus is synthetic organic chemistry and research interests include synthesis and applications of ionic liquids, synthesis of biologically active molecules, sustainable energy production and development of green processes for setting up bio-refinery from agricultural waste.

Abdul Hameed

Dr. Abdul Hameed Dr. Abdul Hameed completed his PhD in Organic Chemistry from The University of Nottingham, UK. He worked in the area of natural products synthesis. He was a post-doc fellow in Max-Planck Institut für Polymerforschung, Germany in synthetic division headed by Prof. Dr. Klaus Müllen. There he worked on the functionalization of adenylyl cyclsase inhibitors via chemical methods to conjugate them with monoclonal antibody to study their biological potential in Regulatory T cells (Treg). His current research interests are including the development of novel methodologies, their utilization in natural products synthesis, the synthesis heterocyclic compound compounds to evaluate their biological potential.
