AbstractWith the support of the Chemical Synthesis (SYN) program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Sarah Reisman of Caltech is studying the development of new catalytic reactions for the chemical synthesis of natural products. Natural products are molecules isolated from natural sources, which often serve as promising lead compounds for the discovery of new medicines or agrochemicals. The ability to synthesize these molecules in the laboratory can allow chemists to precisely modify their structure
