| Research Abstract |
Total syntheses of complex natural products have been studied in this research group. During this investigation, taxane diterpene was one of major synthetic targets, and enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-taxusin and (-)-taxol have been efficiently achieved based on the B ring cyclization methodology of AC fragment.
Other representative natural products synthesized during this research period are radicicol, pironectin, tanabalin, furaquinocine, and polycavernoside.
Synthtic studies on α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid sub-structure, zoanthamine/nor-zoanthamine alkaloids, and ravidomycin were also developed.
