About Edward Treadwell

My research group centers on the development of new synthetic methodologies and their application to the total synthesis of natural products. At the moment, we are exploring monocondensation reactions of the bisphosphonate of acetone (1), which have not been previously reported. While sequential monocondensation reactions will allow access to acyclic dienones (2), a more intriguing application for the bisphosphonate is in the construction of polycyclic compounds with an a-alkylidenyl-b-oxocyclopentyl moiety (4) from cycloalkanones.
