  1. Although the first total synthesis of taxol was accomplished nearly 30 years ago, its complex structure still motivates researchers to invent new synthetic routes. Now, Masayuki Inoue and co-workers (University of #Tokyo #Japan) published a radical-based approach to the #polyketide in the journal #AngewandteChemie

  2. Nowadays, a lot of total #synthesis projects include terpenes with a C-H functionalization strategy.

    In contrast, Alois Fürstner and co-workers (MPG Mülheim) recently presented their synthesis of prorocentin, a complex #polyketide, in #JACS featuring up-to-date transformations and beautifully designed synthetic routes. I added this synthesis now to my collection, have a look 👇

    The #multicellular stage of the #amoeba #Dicyostelium discoideum is partially regulated by an intensely yellow natural substance. The newly identified natural product of the polyketide family prevents the #amoebae #spores from hatching too early.
