- Total synthesis of (+)-aquaticol by biomimetic phenol dearomatization: Double diastereofacial differentiation in the Diels-Alder dimerization of orthoquinols with a C2-symmetric transition state
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Double or nothing: The bissesquiterpene (+)-aquaticol was synthesized by biomimetic oxidative dearomatization of 1 via an orthoquinol intermediate that undergoes spontaneous and selective dimerization; only like diastereomers

- Enantioselective synthesis of cuparane sesquiterpenes. Synthesis of (-)-cuparene and (-)-δ-cuparenol
-
(-)-Cuparene and (-)-δ-cuparenol, two cuparane-type sesquiterpenoids, were synthesized from β-cyclogeraniol in 47% and 27% overall yield, respectively, using a Katsuki-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, a pinacollic rearrangement, and a Robinson annulation as key synthetic steps.
