Abstract
Transition metal catalysis plays an essential role in the total synthesis of natural products. Cobalt-mediated asymmetric catalysis has successfully been used as a primary or a secondary step in the total synthesis of natural products, especially terpenoids. Terpenoids represent one of the most prominent families among various categories of natural products, attracting immense attention due to their promising physiological activities. This review summarizes the recent advances toward the total synthesis of terpenoids by cobalt-mediated asymmetric catalysis, which may shed some light on their future synthetic efforts toward natural pesticides such as celanguline, azadirachtin, etc.

Abstract
![]()
We report here the
application of silyl enol ether moieties as
efficient alkene coupling partners within cobalt-mediated intramolecular
Pauson–Khand reactions. This cyclization strategy delivers
synthetically valuable oxygenated cyclopentenone products in yields
of ≤93% from both ketone- and aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers,
incorporates both terminal and internal alkyne partners, and delivers
a variety of decorated systems, including more complex tricyclic structures.
Facile removal of the silyl protecting group reveals oxygenated sites
for potential further elaboration.

Abstract
The Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) is a formal [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition involving an alkyne, an alkene and carbon monoxide mediated by a hexacarbonyldicobaltalkyne complex to yield cyclopentenones in a single step. This versatile reaction has become a method of choice for the synthesis of cyclopentenone and its derivatives since its discovery in the early seventies. The aim of this review is to point out the applications of PKR in the total synthesis of terpenes.
