The main theme of our research program is the application of synthetic organic chemistry to the study of sustainable energy and materials, molecular electronics, medicinal chemistry, and fundamental aspects of molecular structure. Current work is focused in five main areas: (1) chemical conversion of biomass into organic molecules of interest as fuels, polymers, and value-added products; (2) concise natural product synthesis; (3) design and synthesis of topologically interesting organic molecules; (4) design and synthesis of novel p-type dopants for organic semiconductors; (5) synthesis and evaluation of small organic molecules for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other beneficial health effects.
