A facile approach to tryptophan derivatives for the total synthesis of argyrin analogues (2014)
Journal Article

A facile route has been established for the synthesis of indole-substituted (S)-tryptophans from corresponding indoles, which utilizes a chiral auxiliary-facilitated Strecker amino acid synthesis strategy. The chiral auxiliary reagents evaluated were... Read More about A facile approach to tryptophan derivatives for the total synthesis of argyrin analogues.

An appraisal of the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction for the synthesis of novel fluorescent coumarin derivatives (2014)
Journal Article

We report the chemical design and development of 3-aryl-substituted 7-alkoxy-4-methylcoumarins with enhanced fluorogenic properties. The 3-aryl substituents are installed via an optimized Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reaction between a 7-alkox...

Targeting Staphylococcus aureus quorum sensing with nonpeptidic small molecule inhibitors (2014)
Journal Article

A series of 3-oxo-C 12 -HSL, tetramic acid, and tetronic acid analogues were synthesized to gain insights into the structural requirements for quorum sensing inhibition in Staphylococcus aureus. Compounds active against agr were noncompetitive inhibi... Read More about Targeting Staphylococcus aureus quorum sensing with nonpeptidic small molecule inhibitors.
