Paraherquamides, brevianamides, and asperparalines: laboratory synthesis and biosynthesis. an interim report
Article Abstract:
This article discusses the nature of the reactions involved in the origin of the natural products, paraherquamides, brevianamides, and asperparalines. They all share an unique bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane core ring system, which forms via an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. The biosynthesis and chemical approaches for their synthesis are described.

Lepadiformine: a case study of the value of total synthesis in natural product structure elucidation
Article Abstract:
The critical role of synthetic aspects in the elucidation of chemical structures of natural products is emphasized. This is illustrated by the correction of an erroneously assigned structure for the alkaloid, lepadiformine following the demonstration of its total synthesis.

Small amphiphilic organics, coordination extended solids, and constant curvature structures
Article Abstract:
The role constant curvature structures play in amphiphilic small molecule crystals and extended coordination solids is explored. A constant curvature structure is one in which there is a surface or interface that has the same curvature throughout its surface.
