University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

Recent studies on the synthesis of stereochemically complex natural products will be discussed. Examples include applications of new synthetic methodology involving structurally complex, chiral allylsilanes and allylborane reagents, and new strategies that result in substantial synthetic simplification.
