Research Interests

Recent research in this laboratory has centered on the development of useful organic synthetic methodology based on catalytic reactions utilizing transition metal complexes. Synthetic strategies for biologically active substances such as steroids, terpenoides, alkaloids, antibiotics, and insect pheromone as enatiomeric pure forms have also been developed.
