Stereodivergent Total Syntheses of (+)‐Monomorine I and (+)‐Indolizidine 195B (2021)
Journal Article
Dawood, R. S., & Stockman, R. A. (2021). Stereodivergent Total Syntheses of (+)‐Monomorine I and (+)‐Indolizidine 195B. European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021(27), 3850-3853. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejoc.202100453

A simple and efficient stereoselective total syntheses of two natural products (+)-monomorine I and (+)-indolizidine 195B in high yields starting from a readily available alcohol is described. The key step in this synthetic route exploits the judicio... Read More about Stereodivergent Total Syntheses of (+)‐Monomorine I and (+)‐Indolizidine 195B.

RAFT polymerisation of renewable terpene (meth)acrylates and the convergent synthesis of methacrylate-acrylate-methacrylate triblock copolymers (2021)
Journal Article
Atkinson, R. L., Monaghan, O., Elsmore, M. T., Topham, P. D., Toolan, D. T. W., Derry, M. J., …Howdle, S. M. (2021). RAFT polymerisation of renewable terpene (meth)acrylates and the convergent synthesis of methacrylate-acrylate-methacrylate triblock copolymers. Polymer Chemistry, 12(21), 3177-3189. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1py00326g

Terpenes are ideal candidates for sustainable polymer feedstocks, due to their natural abundance and availability from existing waste streams. Previously, we have shown that a range of terpene(meth)acrylate monomers can be synthesised from the most c...

Iridoid Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Aphids Mimics Iridoid‐Producing Plants (2021)
Journal Article
Partridge, S. J., Withall, D. M., Caulfield, J. C., Pickett, J. A., Stockman, R. A., Oldham, N. J., & Birkett, M. A. (2021). Iridoid Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Aphids Mimics Iridoid‐Producing Plants. Chemistry - A European Journal, 27(25), 7231-7234. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202001356

Biosynthesis of (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)‐nepetalactol (1) and (4aS,7S,7aR)‐nepetalactone (2) in plants involves iridoid synthase (ISY), an atypical reductive cyclase that catalyses the reduction of 8‐oxogeranial into the reactive enol of (S)‐8‐oxocitronellal,...
