A general strategy for diversifying complex natural products to polycyclic scaffolds with medium-sized rings

A platinum-catalyzed annulation reaction leading to medium-sized rings.

A platinum-catalyzed domino process with intermediate benzopyrylium cations reaches its optimum utility in the formation of 7- and 8-membered rings. With iron(III) chloride, a tetracyclic product is isolated, derived from an oxidative transformation of a metal-carbene intermediate.

Ugi Multicomponent Reaction Based Synthesis of Medium-Sized Rings

An Ugi multicomponent reaction based two-step strategy was applied to generate medium-sized rings. In the first linear expansion phase, a series of diamines reacted with cyclic anhydrides to produce different lengths of terminal synthetic amino acids as the starting material for the second phase. The Ugi-4-center 3-component reaction was utilized to construct complex medium-sized rings (8-11) b...

A ring-distortion strategy to construct stereochemically complex and structurally diverse compounds from natural products.

High-throughput screening is the dominant method used to identify lead compounds in drug discovery. As such, the makeup of screening libraries largely dictates the biological targets that can be modulated and the therapeutics that can be developed. Unfortunately, most compound-screening collections consist principally of planar molecules with little structural or stereochemical complexity, comp...

Diversifying Natural Products with Promiscuous Glycosyltransferase Enzymes via a Sustainable Microbial Fermentation Approach

a paradigm shift away from method-wise teaching to strategy-wise teaching: an investigation of reconstructive strategy versus communicative strategy

چکیده: هدف اصلی این مطالعه ی توصیفی تحقیقی در حقیقت تلاشی پساروش-گرا به منظور رسیدن به نتیجه ای منطقی در انتخاب مناسبترین راهکار آموزشی بر گرفته از چارچوب راهبردی مطرح شده توسط والدمر مارتن بوده که به بهترین شکل سازگار و مناسب با سامانه ی آموزشی ایران باشد. از این رو، دو راهکار آموزشی، راهکار ارتباطی و راهکار بازساختی، برای تحقیق و بررسی انتخاب شدند. صریحاً اینکه، در راستای هدف اصلی این پژوهش، ر...
