Organic Chemistry
The challenges confronting synthetic organic chemists are two-fold: 1) they must refine their craft to improve the overall efficiency of synthetic sequences and endeavors and 2) they must discover or devise state-of-the-science chemical technology in order to address the assembly of novel molecular architectures. In particular, the goals of academic chemical synthesis are to address stereochemical complexity, unusual connectivity/topology, and unknown reactivity. Natural product synthesis has traditionally served as a measure of achievement with such concerns in mind. However, to stave off stagnation in this vibrant research area, chemists must address the synthesis of challenging natural products in new ways. Specifically, the total synthesis of natural products using only clever synthetic design - manifested by artistic orchestration of pre-existing methodologies - is a necessary but insufficient condition for advancing the field; new chemical methods of broad generality must be fashioned and their worth demonstrated in the most demanding of contexts. We expect that our laboratory will offer solutions to longstanding problems in chemical synthesis that blend judicious synthesis planning with new and innovative bond constructions. Our research will expand the scope of known reactivity and possibly enable studies of biological phenomena.
