Catalytic Chirality Generation: New Strategies for Organic Synthesis

Our group develops new catalysis platforms that enable the efficient generation of chiral building blocks and heterocyclic scaffolds. Current priority areas include: (i) the development of catalytic C-C bond activation processes and associated cycloadditions,[1] (ii) the development of aza-Heck reactions,[2] and (iii) the development of enantioselective alkene hydroarylation reactions.[3] Selected recent highlights will be presented.
