Research Area: Organic Synthesis

Our research group is focused on the design of practical synthetic routes to molecules of interest. We are specifically interested in:

Development of new organic reactions and methods, including the design of new ligands and reagents
Rational design of new (organo)catalysts through careful mechanistic analysis
Asymmetric catalysis
Application of the developed methods on the synthesis of biologically active products and carbon rich materials
Modification of organic substrates through late stage functionalization strategies
