My 37 years of working with nitrogen heterocycles and alkaloids

Abstract

This account highlights work from my laboratory at the University of Wollongong (UOW), concerning nitrogen heterocycles and alkaloids, from my appointment as lecturer in Chemistry in February 1985 to the present time as an Emeritus Professor since 2022. I am thankful to the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for the recognition of my work through the recent award of a Distinguished Fellow at the national conference in Brisbane in July 2022.
