Our research program encompasses synthetic organic, synthetic organometallic, and physical organometallic chemistry. Research goals include total synthesis of bioactive natural products, discovery of new reactions and catalysts , development of synthetic methods , new techniques for asymmetric synthesis , and determination of reaction mechanisms . The development of new chemistry using organometallic species is a rich and fertile area due to the unique ability of transition metal fragments to impart special reactivity, selectivity, and stability upon bonded organic moieties. Our research draws on these features to address problems in organic synthesis.
