Our group is currently engaged in several projects that encompass different areas of organic chemistry involving transition metal compound catalysis such (C-C bond activation, [2+2+2]cyclotrimerizations, cross-metathesis), Lewis base organocatalysis, synthesis of natural compounds (estrone) and biologically active substances (ligands for estrogenic receptors), ferrocene and carborane chemistry.
