研究领域

Organic and biological chemistry/new synthetic methodology/synthesis of chemically and biologically interesting natural products and study of their molecular mechanisms of action/study of enzymatic reaction mechanisms and development of therapeutic agents.

Our general interest is in the area of synthetic organic chemistry, particularly the development of novel methodologies and their application in the synthesis of natural products exhibiting unique chemical complexity and significant biological activity. One of our recent focuses has been functionalization of olefins with an emphasis on chemo-, regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivity. The following scheme highlights some of our group's recent endeavors
