Chemical Design & Sustainable Catalysis: The field of chemical synthesis continues to flourish, with the increasing repertoires of reaction methodologies allowing for the construction of more complex and diverse molecular architectures that are essential to our daily life, such as medicines, agrochemicals, fuels, and materials. While substantial achievements have been made over the past centuries, there is still a great demand for the innovation of novel synthetic strategies that could respond to the increasing environmental issues. To this end, our group focuses on the development of sustainable organic reactions that are cost-effective, atom-economical, and highly selective, which we aim to achieve by designs of new 1) chemical reagents, 2) base metal catalysis, iron in particular, and 3) biocatalysis.
