I. Stereoselective Construction of Polycyclic Architectures: Enantioselective Catalytic Transannular Ketone-Ene Reactions and an Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Reserpine II. Synthesis of Chiral Bisthioureas for Anion-Abstraction Catalysis

Description

The research presented herein explores three aspects of asymmetric catalysis: (1) the development of new catalytic enantioselective reactions, (2) the application of stereoselective catalysis to natural product total synthesis, and (3) the design and synthesis of new chiral catalysts. / Chemistry and Chemical Biology
