title: Directed aromatic functionalization in natural-product synthesis: Fredericamycin A, nothapodytine B, and topopyrones B and D.
abstract: THIS IS A REVIEW OF OUR EFFORTS TOWARD THE SYNTHESIS OF A GROUP OF NATURAL PRODUCTS THAT DISPLAY NOTEWORTHY BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Fredericamycin A, nothapodytine B, and topopyrones B and D. In each case, directed aromatic functionalization methodology greatly facilitated the assembly of the key molecular subunits.
