The Mystery of the Race Changing Machine

Recently, the brilliant scientists at the Universtiy of Michigan have developed new technology to change one's race from Asian to CaucASIAN (also known as White). Unfortunately, this technology has fallen into the hands of the North Koreans. The perpetrator behind this atrocious hijacking was Colonel Tan-Sun Moon. He main motivation was that he wanted to be White; after studying at Oxford and Harvard, he felt as he didn't fit in being Asian. He is also devious in that he wants to turn everyone white as well. The worst part of it is that Tan-Sun Moon has turned the technology into a ray and plans to hit the very people who created it, AT THE UNVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Hopefully, James Bond and his trusty crew of Nandini Abburi, Rohit Maramraju and Aishwarya Navalpakam can get the secret formula back before all of the world becomes White.


Our molecules are steps 24 and 25 in the synthesis of the Electrophilic Coupling Component. Combing the Electrophilic Component with the Nucleophilic Component creates Nakaiterpiosin. Nakaiterpiosin along with Nakiterpiosinone are homosteriods isolated from the sponge Terpios Hosinota that show promise as anti-cancer agents.
