Building bridges: Strategies for the synthesis of polycyclic natural products

Abstract

The chem. synthesis of natural products provides an exciting platform from which to conduct fundamental research in chem. and biol. An area of ongoing research in our lab. is the synthesis of the ryanoid and isoryanoid natural products. The densely-packed arrays of hydroxyl groups that constitute these polycyclic targets challenge the limits of current technol. and inspire the development of new synthetic strategies and tactics. This seminar will describe our latest progress in our synthetic efforts towards the isoryanoids.
