Catalysis for Heterocycles Chemistry

Catalysis for Heterocycles Chemistry

Heterocycles, with their diverse structures and extensive applications in pharmaceuticals, materials, and agrochemicals, often necessitate targeted modifications at specific positions to enhance their properties. In this regard, our research group is actively engaged in the development of innovative catalytic methods for C–H bond functionalization in heterocycles. We explore various transition metals (Pd, Ru, Rh, and Ir) in conjunction with directing groups or ligands to achieve selective transformations. Additionally, we anticipate the use of cascade reactions initiated by C–H bond activation, offering efficient synthetic routes to access a wide range of diverse heterocyclic compounds.
