Criteria for selection:- published within the time period of 1985 to 2005- limited papers from the original group who published the approach (or indicated in some form or another that the project was discontinued)- group that published approach have yet to disclose full synthetic route to natural product- approaches that led to formal synthesis are excluded

Disclaimer:The purpose of this group meeting is to highlight various synthetic approaches/methodologies to natural products which for one reason or another, did not lead to the completion of the target material. It is by no means exhaustive but designed to be comprehensive within the selected publications.
More often than not, failed routes are not disclosed in chemical literature and this seminar only serves to cover material that this presenter finds unusual or interesting.
Lastly, comments from the original papers are reproduced to provide appropiate context to each work. Highlights in these excerpts unless stated are absent from the original work.
Organization of material:- material that were covered in previous Baran lab group meeting will be referenced accordingly- organized by natural product families- approaches published outside of the restricted time frame will not be discussed in detail, but references are provided- approaches to polyketide natural products have been delibrately left out in this group meeting

6:1 alkene isomers
Tet. Lett. 1987, 1035Fleming's Approach"We reported earlier our plan to synthesize gelsemine (1) by way, successively, of a diketone of the general structure (3), with the ketone group differentiated is some way, and a ketone of general structure (2). In each of the synthetic steps (3 -> 2) and (2 -> 1), a ketone group is to serve as the precusor of a quaternary centre, and it is the challenge of these steps that most excited our interest in the synthesis of gelsemine.
