A general strategy for diversifying complex natural products to polycyclic scaffolds with medium-sized rings

Derivatization of natural products is a powerful approach to generate new molecules for biological screenings. Here, the authors employ C-H oxidation and ring expansion methods for the preparation of a library of medium-sized ring skeleta, which occupy a unique chemical space based on chemoinformati...
