The exquisite and varied architectures of natural products provide a rich pallet for discovery, whether these are used to probe biological mechanisms or to provide the basis for pharmaceutical drug discovery, natural metabolites continue to command attention. For many of these reasons, we are drawn to these structures as testing grounds for synthetic strategies and the development of new methods.
