Research Abstract |
I have studied for the efficient synthesis of bioactive terpenoids (azadirachtin and chamobtusin A). Construction of the full carbon skeleton of azadirachtin has been accomplished by using tandem radical cyclization in very short steps. Total synthesis of chamobtusin A has also been accomplished by using intramolecular aza-Michael cyclization as a key reaction.
