Biography
We are developing new catalyst system for diboration of alkenes and borylation of arenes (Conversion of alkenes and arenes to vinylboronates and arylboronates); both of these intermediates are useful in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to form C-C bonds.
Research Interest
My research interests lie in the application of organometallic chemistry to problem in homogeneous catalysis. Designing new catalysts to form C-B and C-C bond receiving more attention, because of their applications in natural products, agriculture, pharmaceutical and industrial chemistry ... etc.
