Research Themes:–

Our research programs are presently focused on the following themes:

(A) ambifunctional catalysis based on heterocyclic biaryl templates;
(B) development of a unified approach to asymmetric synthesis based on stereospecific reagent controlled homologation (StReCH) with enantioenriched chiral carbenoids; and

(C)

design and execution of concise synthetic approaches to significant pseudo-symmetric natural product targets (e.g. sparteine, thebaine, artemisinin).
