Virtual Lecture: Break-it-to-Make-it Strategies for Chemical Synthesis Inspired by Complex Natural Products
Capabilities
About our Virtual Chemistry Lecture on Complex Natural Products
Lecture held on: March 24, 2021
Natural products continue to inspire and serve as the basis of new medicines. They also provide intricate problems that expose limitations in the strategies and methods employed in chemical synthesis. In this lecture, Prof. Richmond Sarpong discussed several strategies and methods that have been developed in his laboratory and applied to the syntheses of architecturally complex diterpenoid alkaloids, indole alkaloids, and several Lycopodium alkaloids. In addition, new ways to employ C-C bond cleavage in synthesis are presented (i.e., break-it-to-make-it strategies).

About the Virtual Chemistry Lecture Series
Pharmaron’s monthly Virtual Lecture Series, launched in July 2020, provides our team and partners with online educational opportunities. World-class academic researchers are invited to present novel research related to synthetic and medicinal chemistry through this virtual forum. The lectures have been insightful and very well received by the audience and have contributed to cultivating a vibrant learning culture at Pharmaron.
