Research summary

This researcher works in synthetic organic chemistry, focusing on developing titanium-based catalysts to carry out useful chemical transformations, such as converting carboxylic acids and amino acids into amides, reducing esters and carboxamides to alcohols, ethers, or amines, and other selective reduction and substitution reactions. Much of the recent work explores how reagent stoichiometry and catalyst choice can be tuned to control which product forms (e.g., reduction vs. halogenation vs. deoxygenation). This is methodology-focused chemistry aimed at making common synthetic steps faster, safer, or more selective.
