Research topics

  • Discovery of new Pd-catalyzed multicomponent transformations of alkynes enabling efficient direct assembly of simple building blocks into an elaborate target molecule.
  • Development of methods for fluoroalkylation of organic compounds, especially through tandem or sequential catalysis
  • Development of tandem reactions involving additions to alkynes and subsequent functionalization via cross-coupling
  • Investigation of the mechanisms of transition metal-catalyzed reactions
