Graduate Research Assistant
Department of Chemistry Michigan State University
09.1999 - 05.2006
- Accomplished the formal synthesis of fostriecin, an antitumour agent. The synthetic strategy outlined for this natural product was a convergent one that involved a lactone, diene and triol fragment. All three fragments were successfully prepared in high yields. The key step involves a novel aldol reaction between 2-alkynals and methyl [(4S, 5S)-1,5-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-imidazolidinone] methylene tetracarbonyl chromium (0) and its enantiomer.
