Organic chemistry involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of chemical compounds consisting primarily of carbon and hydrogen.
We analyse chemical reactions, particularly those occurring in biochemical systems, in order to develop new synthetic methods and to produce physiologically active compounds with potential as pharmaceuticals.
More about Biochemical Reactions and Molecular Recognition
Our research is focused around the chemistry that is expressed in natural systems.
More about Organic Chemistry of Natural Systems
Our research interests include the development of new synthetic methods and the chemical synthesis of biologically active natural products.
More about Organic Synthesis and Catalysis
The group’s activities continue to be focused on the development of new synthetic strategies and methodologies as well as the application of these in the total synthesis of biologically active natural products and certain analogues.
More about Synthesis and Mechanism
Our research program involves the design and implementation of sequences of cycloaddition reactions, free radical reactions and transition metal-mediated reactions to prepare polycyclic molecules with important biological properties. The program also targets new ways to achieve molecular recognition, complexation and catalysis.
