Over the course of the past greater decade, our research here at the Rovis group has covered a broad range of topics in asymmetric catalysis, organocatalysis, and organometallic chemistry. Since its inception, our group has disclosed findings ranging from the stereoselective rearrangements of vinyl acetals and ethers, to Ni-catalyzed desymmetrizations of various cyclic meso-anhydrides, and even disclosing the synthesis of several natural products using various technologies developed within the lab. We also have a rich and prominent history within the field of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as organocatalysts, pioneering studies in acyl-anion, azolium-enolate, and homoenolate reactivities as catalyzed by triazolylidene-based carbenes. We use the methodology developed within our group to provide easier access to nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocycles, those of which are of significant interest to the fields of medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical development.
