Description
Synthetic Studies of Complex Natural Products
Abstract: Natural products continue to provide inspiration for improved synthetic design processes and novel methodologies, and also serve as potential leads for medicinal chemistry exploration and drug discovery. This talk will highlight efficient total syntheses of biologically active natural products with a focus on the enabling synthetic strategies. The use of complex natural products for non-natural purposes of relevance to chemical biology will also be discussed.
