The article discusses the project of the group of professor Steven Ley at the University of Cambridge, England on the total synthesis of plantazolicin A and its biosynthetic precursor plantazolicin B. It mentions the collaboration of Dr. Sabine Fenner and Dr. Zoe Wilson for the final coupling and deprotection steps to give the natural products. It is noted that the group aim to gain access to both plantazolicin A and plantazolicin B via a common convergent route.
