Funded Activity Summary

Biomimetic Synthesis of Dimeric Natural Products. The aim of this research is to use nature as a source of inspiration and direction to improve and develop synthetic organic chemistry. Through targeted total syntheses this project will investigate and learn about the highly sophisticated way nature utilises dimerizations to rapidly generate molecular complexity. This project will demonstrate the power of this biomimetic strategy by synthesising a wide variety of complex dimeric natural products including phenylethanoids, alkaloids, lignans, terpenes and coumarins. The expected outcome will be uniquely efficient synthetic strategies that significantly surpass all previous approaches and new synthetic methodology that will be of broad use in organic synthesis.
