Diquinane or bicyclo[3.3.0]octane is a conspicuous structural unit existing in the carbo‐frameworks of a wide range of natural products such as alkaloids and terpenoids. These diquinane‐containing molecules not merely exhibit intriguing architectures, but also showcase a broad spectrum of significant bioactivities, which draw widespread attention from the global synthetic community. In their Minireview on page 4839, H. Li, J. Zhang, and X. She, demonstrate the achievements in this area in the timeline from 2010 to June 2020 and discuss how the diquinane unit is strategically forged in the context of the specific target structure.
