Research

Jianwei’s research program is focused on the development of new methods for organic synthesis, with an emphasis on organocatalysis. They are also interested in applying our new methods in the synthesis of useful molecules, such as biologically active compounds and light-harvesting materials.

Current areas of interest of our laboratory include

• Asymmetric nucleophilic catalysis (e.g., N-heterocyclic carbenes, chiral amines);

• Brønsted acid catalysis (e.g., chiral phosphoric acids);

• Lewis acid catalysis;

• Synthesis of biologically active compounds and light-harvesting materials.
