Exploiting Neglected Reactivity to Develop New Tools for Organic Synthesis and Medicinal Chemistry

我们的研究重点是从简单的化学原料中寻找新的和改进的方法来制造增值的有机分子。尽管我们开发的新技术将最直接地影响药物的发现和开发，但在这一过程中获得的基础知识将具有广泛的用途。具体来说，我们的目标是采取知之甚少和未开发的化学过程，并将其转化为制造有用有机化合物的实用方法。以此为指导原则，我们将应对以下挑战：

Our research focuses on finding new and improved ways of making value-added organic molecules from simple chemical feedstocks. Although the new technology we develop will most directly impact the discovery and development of pharmaceuticals, the fundamental knowledge gained in the process will be broadly useful. Specifically, we aim to take poorly understood and undeveloped chemical processes and transform them into practical methods to make useful organic compounds. With this as a guiding principle we will tackle the following challenges:
