Scholar-generated biography
Phillip S. Grant is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University specializing in synthetic methodology, total synthesis, and chemical biology. His work focuses on developing innovative strategies for the synthesis of complex natural products and exploring the chemical biology of cannabinoids. Grant's research includes the total synthesis of terpenoids, such as ent-atisane diterpenoids and leonuketal, as well as the synthesis of spirolactone alkaloids like lycibarbarines. His studies also involve the development of new reactions, such as azide–enolate cycloaddition and remote proton elimination, to enable efficient and stereodivergent synthesis. His research has contributed to understanding the structure and bioactivity of cannabinoids and their interactions with cannabinoid receptors.
