Check out our recent approach to sannamycins, featuring dearomative hydroamination of benzene, interesting skeletal reorganization, and novel use of biomass material as a carbohydrate precursor.
Check our synthesis of nimbolide! A streamlined approach enabled by a powerful borylative Heck reaction and a stereochemically interesting alkyl ether formation. Fun fact: two identical twins working on the same molecule...I guess they are trying to keep it in the family😅
Come and join us at GRC Natural Products this summer! We have a fantastic line of speakers from academia and industry. Be a part of the frontiers of science related to the chemistry and biology of bioactive compounds! grc.org/natural-products-and…
