AboutAbout the lab
Developing diverse molecular transformation reactions of organic compounds
The Molecular Transformation Chemistry Lab works on developing diverse molecular transformation reactions of organic compounds.
The lab develops molecular transformation reactions that use strong bases.
The bases it handles include organic superbases, composite Brønsted bases, and highly active amide bases.
The lab also works on the chemistry of boron- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
Key terms
- molecular transformation reaction
- A chemical reaction that remodels the structure of one organic compound to turn it into a different compound.
- organic superbase
- An organic compound with a very strong ability to accept hydrogen ions. Phosphazene bases are an example.
- heterocycle
- A ring-shaped structure that contains atoms other than carbon (such as nitrogen) in the ring.
