Practical Organic Synthesis Inspired by Nature

Objective

"The aim of this research is to use nature as a source of inspiration and direction to improve and develop synthetic organic
chemistry. Through targeted total syntheses I will investigate and learn about the highly sophisticated way nature utilizes
dimerizations to rapidly generate molecular complexity. I will demonstrate the power of this biomimetic strategy by
synthesizing a wide variety of complex dimeric natural products including phenylethanoids, alkaloids, lignans, and
coumarins. The expected outcome will be uniquely efficient synthetic strategies that significantly surpass all previous
approaches and new synthetic methodology that will be of broad use in organic synthesis. More generally I will learn how
nature uses relatively simple processes to rapidly generate molecular complexity in a highly selective manner."

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
