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., Ermanis, K., & 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...
