Ippoliti Publishes

Francesca Ippoliti, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, is a first author on a research article published in the most recent issue of Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The article, titled “Total Synthesis of Lissodendoric Acid A,” details Dr. Ippoliti’s graduate work synthesizing a natural product found in marine sponges. The synthesis relies on the use of a cyclic allene, a highly strained intermediate, to build the core structure of the natural product. A link to the article can be found here.
