dc.description	This thesis primarily details synthetic and biophysical studies on the tridachiahydropyrone family of natural products. The general aim of this work was to explore a hypothesis regarding the location and function of these metabolites, isolated from sacoglossan molluscs. Specifically, it was hypothesised that tridachiahydropyrone is synthesised photochemically from linear polyene precursors via a selective double bond isomerisation-6π electrocyclisation sequence which occurs within the cell membrane of the producing organism. Furthermore, it was postulated that this reaction sequence, and subsequent photochemical transformations of tridachiahydropyrone into the related products phototridachiahydropyrone and oxytridachiahydropyrone, serve to protect the producing mollusc from the damaging effects of UV radiation.	en
