Research

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.

Our broad areas of Research Interests include :

​

  • Total Synthesis of Biologically active Natural products

  • Transition metal catalysis

  • Asymmetric synthesis

  • Organic synthesis

Completed Targets

It is by no means certain, or even probable, that a compound produced by a microorganism, most likely as a weapon in the struggle for existence, is the very best from the medical point of view. If it is possible to synthesize the compound, it will also be possible to modify the details of the structure and to find the most effective remedies.
