Research Interest
- Our works are divided into two parts including organofluorine chemistry and bioassy-guided natural product isolation. The group has developed methods for electrophilic difluoro(phenylthio)methylation and fluoroalkylation with [(bromodifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]benzene. For natural product chemistry, we have been working on plants in the genus Dasymaschalon and Garcinia with cytotoxic, anti-HIV and anti-inflammatory activities.
