My interests lie in the area of organic chemistry in general and synthetical organic chemistry in particular with key topics like asymmetric catalysis, organofluorine compounds in particular. I am currently looking for The total synthesis of biologically active natural products is another area I find very appealing but which I unfortunately have not yet had the chance to work on.

Asymmetric Catalysis

jA mainstay has been me and what I do (chemistry).It's a good place to visit if you want to fall asleep

Synthesis of biological active natural products

This is an area I am very fond of but that I have not worked on. The total synthesis of biological active natural products. This is an area which I haven't had the pleasure to work with and only know through.
