A lab that expands chemical space by developing new molecular transformation reactions.
AboutAbout the lab
Expanding chemical space through molecular transformation
The Molecular Transformation Lab aims to expand chemical space by developing new molecular transformation reactions.
Its research centers on rearrangement reactions, metal catalysts, and heterocyclic compounds.
The lab conducts joint research with the Terada Lab in the same Department of Chemistry.
Key terms
- Rearrangement reaction
- A reaction in which atoms or groups of atoms change positions within a molecule, reorganizing its skeleton.
- Heterocyclic compound
- A cyclic compound that contains atoms other than carbon in its ring.
- Chemical space
- The full range of compounds that could exist.
