Bio/Research
Research in the Doyle lab takes place at the interface between the fields of organic synthesis, organometallic catalysis, and physical organic chemistry. We are involved in designing synthetic strategies that enable efficient and selective preparation of complex molecules and biologically privileged structural motifs. To achieve these goals, we harness the activity of inexpensive and abundant transition metal catalysts to achieve novel bond-forming processes. In the past, we have pursued two areas within this program: (1) the invention of new catalytic reaction methods for the synthesis of fluorinated compounds using nucleophilic fluorine sources; and (2) the development of transition metal-catalyzed Csp3–C bond-forming reactions with electrophiles that possess abundant but unconventional leaving groups.
