研究领域

Research in the Yoon group focuses on the development of new reaction methods for organic synthesis. We are particularly interested in the use of catalysis as a strategy for increasing process efficiency, controlling reaction selectivity, and reducing the environmental impact of chemical synthesis. Representative project areas include the following. Visible Light Photocatalysis. Photochemical reactions are intriguing from a synthetic perspective because the stereochemistry, regiochemistry, and chemoselectivity of organic reactions can differ dramatically under conditions of either thermal or photochemical activation. Yet organic chemists have long been reluctant to use photochemical reactions in complex molecule synthesis, and the properties of the structures that are uniquely accesible using photochemical activation have thus been relatively unexplored. A central goal of our research is to develop photochemical methods that can conveniently be conducted by any synthetic organic chemist, using sources of visible light that are already present in a standard chemistry lab. We focus upon the photoactivity of the transition metal chromophores that have been extensively exploited in the design of technologies for solar energy conversion. We have shown that complexes such as Ru(bpy)32+ and its derivatives can also be used to photochemically activate organic molecules towards a wide range of synthetically useful transformations.
