Presented at the 68th Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Products.

I presented a paper titled as follows at the 68th Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Products, held at Awagin Hall in Tokushima from September 16 to 18.

Title：Straightforward Conversion of Grayanotoxin III to Kalmane-type Diterpenoids: Chemical Demonstration of Putative Biosynthetic Pathways

○Shoji Kobayashi, Taiga Tsuruyama, Hinata Togo

My last visit to Tokushima was for TEAC last year.

Tokushima is easily accessible from the Kansai region by either ferry or highway bus.

It is also known as the only prefecture in Japan that has no trains (specifically, trains that run on electricity drawn from overhead lines).

I received many questions during the presentation, which led to a productive discussion.

For lunch on the second day, I had "Wakame Udon" (udon noodles featuring plenty of local Naruto seaweed), and on the third day, I enjoyed "Tokushima Ramen."

Both were delicious.
