The Grenning Lab Has Designed A Simple Synthesis of Common Terpenoid Cores

“Highly oxidized and complex terpenoid natural products are important drugs for treating diseases. Unfortunately, they can suffer from poor natural abundance and be challenging to synthesize from commodity chemicals. UF Chemistry Department researchers have successfully developed a simple strategy to synthesize related structures with high structural diversity.”
