Abstract: The diterpenoids possessing a fused 6,5,6-abeo-abietane skeleton (1, Figure 1) have gained interest from synthetic community owing to their significant biological properties in addition to interesting complex architecture.These are a family of carbotricyclic diterpenoids bearing an unusual 4a-methyltetra-(and hexa-) hydrofluorene skeleton with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.A number of abeo-abietanes isolated from different East Asian conifers viz.Taiwanese pine tree Taiwania cryptomerioides and hence they are popularly named as the taiwaniaquinoids.In this review article, we discuss on the biosynthetic proposal as well as recent efforts on the total syntheses of naturally occurring complex taiwaniaquinoids.
