- Guest Post: A Philosophical Consideration Of Total Synthesis
This post comes from outside the Baran lab. A very talented undergraduate (Wade Miller) from the University of Pennsylvania sent us his paper from an assignment in philosophy class regarding the relevance of total synthesis in the modern era....
- Hey! We Used C-h Activation To Make A Natural Product!
Once upon a time, we were interested making fumitremorgin A... Phil's interest in verruculogen and fumitremorgin A has been long standing (see: Austamine and Okaramine), but strangely the endoperoxide-containing indole alkaloids haven't...
- Electrochemical Synthesis Of Dixiamycins
Phil Baran upon learning about electrochemistry UPDATE: Our paper was highlighted on Deadspin! UPDATE 2: Support from the San Diego Chargers! Our paper on the total synthesis of dixiamycin B is now live in the JACS ASAP section, which means it's my...
- Best Synthesis Evar!
Over at BRSMblog theres a good post on the best synthesis ever. Its a discussion I've had around Baran Lab before, and I figured since total synthesis is our jam, people might have something to contribute to his comment section. I already gave him...
- Baran Lab To Move To Wyoming
In light of recent blog posts, we would like to formally announce that our lab is moving to an abandoned home depot somewhere in rural western Wyoming. Young Brando is "excited to have two full hoods to himself," and Taycoh said, "with the new space...
Electrochemistry
Woe-Be-Gone
We'll start things off with our lab's recent synthesis of ouabagenin. We'll skip the biological relevance of the molecule for the purpose of this blog and go straight to the actual synthesis.
