We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade r... Read More about Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.

Synthesis, structure and stereodynamics of atropisomeric N-chloroamides (2024)
Journal Article
Campbell, A. D. G., Roper, N. J., Waddell, P. G., Wills, C., Dixon, C. M., Denton, R. M., …Armstrong, R. J. (2024). Synthesis, structure and stereodynamics of atropisomeric N-chloroamides. Chemical Communications, 60(28), 3818-3821. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4cc00268g

Atropisomeric N-chloroamides were efficiently accessed by electrophilic halogenation of ortho-substituted secondary anilides. The stereodynamics of atropisomerism in these novel scaffolds was interrogated by detailed experimental and computational st...
