Strategies for the total synthesis of complex natural products that contain two or more contiguous stereogenic quarternary carbon atoms in their intricate structures are reviewed with twelve representative examples. Emphasis has been put on the methods to create quarternary carbon stereocenters, including syntheses of the same natural product from different groups, thereby showcasing diversity of thought and individual creativity. A compendium of selected natural products containing two or more contiguous stereogenic quarternary carbon atoms and key reactions in their total or partial syntheses is provided in the Supporting Information section. While biosynthetically easily accomplished by Nature’s evolutionary machinery with an arsenal of enzymatic processes among others, the incorporation of multiple quaternary carbon centers in natural products by total synthesis is one of the most daunting challenges that have faced synthetic chemists for decades. The period spanning the last 50 or more years has seen phenomenal progress in this area as evidenced by the first synthesis of thujopsene by Dauben in 1953, and the last synthesis of hyperforin by Maimone in 2015. In this review we highlight strategies used by different research groups toward the stereocontrolled total synthesis of a selected group of natural products that contain two or more contiguous quaternary carbon atoms
