Development of new methods for asymmetric synthesis

The overall goal of this project is to develop new and efficient methods for stereoselective asymmetric organic synthesis, i.e. the synthesis of organic compounds in a single three-dimensional form. A focus of our research in this area in recent years has been the study of asymmetric Wittig-type reactions. In future work, our work will be expanded to cover several other powerful reaction types as well. The research involves both experimental synthetic work and computational modelling.
