Research Projects

01

Platinum Macrostructure Networks

Selected compounds and designed syntheses of carboxy-amino-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline bidentate ligands to complex with platinum(II) centers, purposed to form bridged and ionically linked macrostructure networks.

02

Asymmetric Epoxidation (Jacobsen Catalyst)

Total synthesis of epoxides from various substrates via asymmetric epoxidation catalyzed by synthesized Chiral (salen) Mn(III) complexes. Products were studied to investigate stereochemical, thermodynamic, and kinetic effects.

03

Nakijiquinone Natural Product Synthesis Proposal

Proposed a reasonable 20-step total synthesis pathway for a nakijiquinone derivative, compiling literary evidence providing explicit and inductive support for each step in a highly enantioselective synthesis.
