1. 1 One has in this connection to mention particularly the excellent series of articles composed every year with great accuracy by R. B. Herbert, in Natural Products Report (e.g. R. B. Herbert, Nat. Prod. Rep., 1999, 16, 1999; for further references see therein) which served in many ways as a guideline in the preparation of this review.
