	Yun Zhang zhangyun@bu.edu Boston University Fall 2003
Why GEX 1A compound bears potent antitumor activities and highly selective phytotoxity How Stereoselective synthesis of GEX 1A based on our [4+2] annulation strategy and asymmetric crotylation strategy by utilizing our newly developed chiral silane reagents And More Expand the application of asymmetric crotylation methodology for the construction of more complex natural product building blocks
