Chemical Society Seminar: Thomas Maimone - Synthetic Studies Toward Complex Natural Products

Tuesday, October 16, 2018 13:00to14:30

Maass Chemistry Building Room 10, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 0B8, CA

Concise total syntheses of biologically active natural products will be disclosed and the enabling synthetic tactics discussed. Emphasis will be placed on a discussion of complex meroterpenes and terpene-derived metabolites. The exploitation of oxidative synthetic processes, as well as new methods for complex polycycle synthesis, will be highlighted.

Tom Maimone
