Among the synthetic methods currently being investigated, we are particularly interested in the metal catalyzed chemistry of organoboranes, -stannanes, and –silanes. A central aim of these studies is the use of such compounds in efficient and environmentally benign reactions and strategies. Application of our methods to total synthesis is an essential part of our research
program. Thus once new reaction sequences have been established we apply
them to the synthesis of biologically important natural products
or other pharmaceutically relevant targets. |
