Summary
Zhiwei Zuo is a synthetic organic chemist with a PhD from SIOC, CAS and over a decade of hands-on experience in complex natural product total synthesis. His work includes the first total syntheses of (-)-communesins A and B, an asymmetric route to (-)-communesin F, and synthesis of D-biotin oxazoline analogues of apratoxin A to probe mechanisms of action. Based in Shanghai, he continues to lead synthetic studies toward PF1270 alkaloids, combining meticulous route design with target-oriented strategy. Colleagues recognize him for translating challenging retrosynthetic problems into concise, asymmetric sequences that reveal biological insights. Although his GitHub presence is minimal, his publication record and long-term research at SIOC signal deep expertise in alkaloid synthesis and methodology development.
