Organic Synthesis

Our synthesis work mainly focuses on the total synthesis of bioactive natural products such as the hypoxia selective toxins APD-CLD's Rakicidin A and BE-43547A1.

Our laboratories are newly renovated and features completely new fumehoods, all equipped with Schlenk lines, in-hood vacuum, nitrogen, argon, compressed air and a closed cooling-water system. We have our own preparative and analytical HPLC with access to a LC-HRMS system in the department, and two automated flash column chromatography systems.
