ESOC Oral Communication Prize to Michael Muratore
Dr. Michael Muratore, Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Echavarren group, has received the Best Oral Communication Prize at the 19th European Symposium on Organic Chemistry (Lisbon, 12th-16th July) for his communication entitled ‘The Versatility of Gold(I) Catalysis Applied to the Total Syntheses of (-)-Nardoaristolone B and Lundurine C’.
The communication describes how taking advantage of the versatility and efficiency of gold catalysis the first enantioselective total syntheses of nardoaristolone B and lundurine C have been developed. The synthesis of the former relied on the first example of a gold-catalyzed oxidative bicyclization of a 1,5-enyne employed in the context of total synthesis. The latter featured a gold-catalyzed endo-selective intramolecular hydroarylation of an alkyne by indole to gain rapid access to the polycyclic skeleton of lundurine C.
