The goal of this project is the discovery of new synthetic methodology for the synthesis of heterocyclic scaffolds that can be diversified for library synthesis. These libraries are subsequently screened for biological...

This project builds on our recent discovery of chiral anthracene templates as stereocontrolling elements in organic synthesis. The overall goal in this work is to apply these templates...

The storied history of natural products as drugs and inspirations for new drug candidates is well known. As synthetic creativity has continued to evolve, the dependence on natural products...

We have been exploring the cobalt-catalyzed [4+2+2] homo Diels-Alder cycloaddition of norbornadienes with butadienes, and the subsequent opening of the highly rigid cycloadducts...
