PROF 2 |
| I joined Brandeis University as an assistant professor of chemistry in 1998. Since then my students and I have been engaged in the design and development of efficient, practical and broadly useful chiral catalysts to address the challenging problem of stereochemistry control in organic synthesis. Our studies have revealed unexpected mechanistic insights, which lead to new concepts for asymmetric catalysis design. The broad impact of these concepts on the development of stereoselective reactions will be highlighted. The synthetic consequence of these new reactions will be illustrated by asymmetric syntheses of biologically interesting and structurally complex natural products. |
