The Moura-Letts Group
Synthesis of Metal Oxaziridines as Suitable N-transfer Reagents
The synthesis of organometallic complexes that are derived from reacting metal oxides with nitrogen transfer reagents. Our group is interested in inventing new chemical reactions by exploiting the chemical properties of stable metal oxaziridines. We are focused on delivering heteroatoms across commercially available pi-systems.
Discovering new Chemical Pathways for the Synthesis of Complex Carbacycles
The synthesis of complex carbacycles remain a challenge in the field of organic chemistry despite the high pharmacological profiles they carry. Our group is interested in synthesizing carbacycles from hetercycles that will form structures with high selectivities. Achieving new chemical pathways to complex carbacycles offers access to complex natural products and drugs.
