We have a strong track record in devising and carrying out the shortest chemical syntheses of complex natural products, and in training future employees of pharmaceutical companies. The structures of a few of the many natural products that we have synthesised in the past are shown below. Contact Mick to find out more about total synthesis projects for 2023- 2024.
