Transition metals catalyzed synthesis novel heterocyclic compounds

Based on my research experience and academic career, my research plan is to develop new synthetic reactions to create heterocyclic molecules having useful properties as functional materials or biological activities. Reactions I am going to study on can be classified into the following two categories. Project 1: Transition metal-catalyzed cascade cyclization and oxidative cross couplings reactions, and Synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts and their applications in organic synthesis Project 2: Ruthenium catalyzed oxidative C–H bond activation strategy for C–C and C– N bond formation These types of transformation are essential for preparing various synthetic intermediates and provide efficient access routes to biologically active compounds and functional new materials, respectively. The application of transition metal catalysis to large-scale synthesis requires technologies that are safe, robust, and scalable.
