Research Interests

The research in our group focus on the development of new synthetic methods and strategies, and their application in the total synthesis of natural products and biologically important compounds. A major thrust of our current research is the design and invention of new annulation strategies for the synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic systems. Our research program is focused on the development of new reagents and methods for organic synthesis, with an emphasis on asymmetric catalysis. The achievement of our objectives requires an understanding of stereoselective synthesis, physical organic chemistry, and metal-based reactivity.

We like to think that no molecule, no matter its structural type, is out of the reach of chemical synthesis. The real question, however, is how elegantly and efficiently can we synthesize such complex molecules, and it is here that synthetic chemists have to concentrate their efforts the most. Chemical synthesis is an exceedingly exciting, challenging, and fulfilling discipline, one that will always appeal to those talented youngsters who are destined to shape it further and ensure the continuation of its proud tradition as they strive to equal or even surpass Nature at her own game.
