Organic/Organometallic Chemistry. Catalysis
Development of new broadly effective versatile catalytic methods of practical and fundamental interest for organic synthesis. Demonstration of capacity of the invented methodologies to rapidly develop molecular complexity in the efficient syntheses of biologically and pharmacologically important compounds.· Bio-inspired design, discovery and studies of novel catalytic systems for asymmetric synthesis:· Development of novel DNA-based approaches for asymmetric induction during the course of chemical transformation.· Discovery of practically and conceptually useful metal-free organic catalysts for asymmetric reactions. Exploration of the molecular recognition events for further control of selectivity.· Rapid and efficient non-covalent synthesis of chiral homo- and hetero-bidentate ligand libraries for asymmetric catalysis.· Selective carbon-hydrogen bond activation and catalytic functionalization of hydrocarbons by soluble transition-metal-based systems. Mechanistic studies of intimate steps of these processes.
