Catalysts play a critical role in synthetic organic chemistry. The right catalyst can control a reaction's chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity, providing an efficient route to the required product. Many elegant syntheses of biologically active compounds rely on highly selective catalytic transformations for streamlined assembly of the required functional groups. The focus of our research interests is the development of new reactions using organometallic catalysts, and application of these transformations in complex target-oriented synthesis. In addition to providing valuable synthetic methods, these studies test and deepen our understanding of the fundamental principles that underlie reactivity.
