Dr. Ge and his research team in the Department of Chemistry, NUS, have developed the first cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective hydroboration/cyclization of 1,6-enynes to prepare chiral five-membered cyclic organic compounds. In addition, they applied this methodology to synthesize a bioactive natural product (-)-magnofargesin. This work has recently been published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (DOI: 10.1021/jacs.7b01708).
