Abstract:
The chemical synthesis of biologically active natural products has diverse objectives and missions, including 1) determining the structures of the natural products, 2) providing synthetic samples for studying the activity and function, 3) providing a basis for applied research on these compounds, etc. I have studied various biologically active natural products and conducted synthetic studies on these compounds with various objectives. In this review, I present the results of my research, focusing on natural products with potential as agrochemicals.
