- Job Description:The Wasa group is an organic chemistry laboratory focused on developing methods to access desirable analogues of natural products and pharmaceuticals in efficient, practical, cost-effective, and stereoselective manners are central to organic synthesis and drug discovery.
- Particularly attractive but challenging are schemes that enable direct transformation of ubiquitous but otherwise chemically inert C–H bonds that are contained in the polyfunctional bioactive molecules.
- We develop catalytic processes that entail oxidation of amine, ether, or thioether-based small molecule drugs into the corresponding enamine, enol ether or thioenol ether derivatives; such intermediates are then be coupled with various chemical tagging agents to generate – in a single operation – a library of drug derivatives.
- Development of chemical methods for late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds.
- Mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students.
