Explores stereoselective synthesis through Wittig and Julia reactions, emphasizing reactivity and regioselectivity of carbocations and the use of borane derivatives.
Explores redox reactions of aldehydes, including Evans-Tishchenko, Cannizzaro, and Benzoin reactions, reduction of imines, and Wittig reaction variants.
Explores the synthesis and reactivity of chiral ylides in cycloadditions and catalytic processes, including asymmetric cyclopropanation and hydrogen bond-mediated selectivity.
