Research Interests
Our research program focuses on the halogenation including halogenation of arenes, halofunctionalization of olefins, and also asymmetric halogenations. The aim of our research is to develop green, high-atomic, efficient methodologies, which could achieve the late-stage halogenation of bioactive molecules including drugs, natural products, heteroarenes, and peptides. The final goal of our group is to find highly active lead drugs by the modification of bioactive molecules.
