Research interests
Total synthesis of biologically active natural products and their analogs
Methodology
- Pericyclic reactions (intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition, Claisen rearrangement)
- Organometallic catalysis (domino metathesis, Heck reaction, domino carbene cyclization/cycloaddition, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation)
- Preparation and synthetic elaboration of sulfur heterocycles (sultones, sultams)
- Chemistry under extremely high pressure
