A large number of significant bioactive natural and synthetic alkyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides are known in the contemporary literature. A broad range of suitably functionalized substrates have been tailored to accomplish concise and efficient syntheses of an array of alkyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides employing a variety of elegant synthetic strategies. This review presents a brief literature account of the isolation and activity of these important target compounds with a special emphasis on their synthesis.
