 Obiettivo del progetto (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.'
