Total synthesis of natural products
The Donohoe group has made advances with many new reactions for the selective functionalisation of organic molecules and tested this methodology in the arena of total synthesis, completing short and efficient synthesis of complex natural products including pericosine B, sylvaticin, cis-sylvaticin, hygromycin, dehydromicrosclerodermin B, secosyrin 1, australite, cyclindricine B, lactacystin-β-lactone, deoxypukolide, muscopyridine, streptonigrin and the berberine alkaloids.
