Description of Research
|
Detailed Statement of Research Interests
|
|
We currently have two ongoing programs, namely rhodium(II) catalyzed C-H activation and oxidative palladium(II) catalysis. These studies focus on the development of novel synthetic methodologies, which encompass new carbon-carbon bond forming catalysis, asymmetric catalysis, and discovery of novel organometallic catalysts. In addition, we have pursued their utilization towards the syntheses of biologically important natural products.
