Asian Rising Stars Lectureship Award, 18th Asian Chemical Congress, 2019Tokyo Chemical Industry-SNIC Industry Award in Synthetic Chemistry, 2018Thieme Chemistry Journal Award, 2016Faculty Young Scientist Award, NUS, 2015Research interests of our lab lie in the discovery and development of efficient, selective as well as economical catalytic methods for chemical synthesis, with an emphasis on asymmetric catalysis. Application of the new methods toward the synthesis of molecules with a complex structure and/or useful functions will serve as a testament of the effica...
We have established an enantioconvergent access to chiral N-heterocycles directly from simple racemic diols and primary amines, through a highly economical borrowing hydrogen annulation. The identification of a chiral amine-derived iridacycle catalyst was the key for achieving high efficiency and enantioselectivity in the one-step construction of t...
