Description In this Review, we present illustrative examples of recent synthesesof complex natural products completed through the latestage convergent coupling of fragments of similar size in either i) an annulation reaction or ii) a short, small ring-forming reaction sequence. The term we use to describe these criteria is late-stage annulative convergency. We focus on such bond-pair retrosynthetic disconnections because they can be more challenging to recognize and often result in a greater degree of structural simplification. While not covered here, the general benefits of a convergent strategy apply equally to single-bond couplings or larger ring constructions (e.g., linear and macrocyclic molecules). The Review covers the literature from 2000 through the end of 2015 and is intended to present highlights of late-stage annulative convergency rather than an exhaustive coverage of total syntheses with convergent features.
