Hidden symmetry within the THF-containing moieties of the macrocycle of amphidinolide F led S. Mahapatra and R. G. Carter to employ a synthetic strategy including a common intermediate, as reported in their Communication (ABSTRACT). The cover picture highlights key steps of the total synthesis as well as the locations on both sides of the Pacific of the initial characterization (Hokkaido University) and first synthesis (Oregon State University) of the natural product.

Part of Cover for Symposium-in-Print Series for Issue 5 of Tetrahedron (January 2008)

"The study of aromatic compounds is one of the most fundamental areas of organic chemistry, and takes a prominent role in both undergraduate teaching and research. Classically, methods employed to make benzene derivatives have focused on electrophilic/nucleophilic substitution processes, whereas ring synthesis via condensation chemistry has been more prominent in the preparation of heteroaromatic compounds. This latter strategy holds significant advantages in the synthesis of complex and functionalised compounds because it is not restricted to generating the substitution patterns dictated by directing groups on the aromatic ring. The topic of this Symposium-in-Print aims to highlight recent achievements in this general area as it applies to benzenoid systems as well as heteroaromatics. A broad range of approaches are covered that include pericyclic, metal-mediated and metal catalysed processes. The latter theme is evident throughout this issue and highlights also the power and versatility of modern synthetic strategies such as ring closing metathesis and Au-catalysed carbon–carbon bond forming reactions. Taken together, this snapshot of benzannulation protocols provides novel routes to highly functionalised aromatic and heteroaromatic skeleta that include benzenoid compounds and pyridine derivatives, as well as indoles, pyrroles and furans."

Cover Article for Issue 26 of the Journal of Organic Chemistry (December 2007)

Halogenated, o-nitroarylalkynes (shown in the image superimposed over Yaquina Head Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Oregon) react cleanly with cyclic and acyclic oxygenated dienes to generate a range of highly substituted biaryl compounds. This Diels-Alder approach to biaryls (DAB) strategy has proven useful for synthesizing a wide range of biaryl derivatives including the anti-HIV natural product siamenol.
