Research in our group is driven by the development and discovery of new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond forming processes. In particular, we target methods that are operationally simple, green (atom and step economy) and selective (chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity). In this context, asymmetric transition metal-catalysed processes are of particular interest.
The discovery of fundamental reactivity naturally leads to new opportunities in synthetic methodology, total synthesis and mechanism. Current research efforts are focused upon (i) the development of new methodology for heterocyclic chemistry, (ii) the application of these processes to natural product synthesis, (iii) the evaluation of natural product analogues for ...
John Bower obtained his M.Sci. degree in Chemistry in 2003 from the University of Bristol. He then remained at Bristol to study for his Ph.D. degree (2007) under the guidance of Professor Timothy Gallagher. During this time his research focused on the development of cyclic sulfamidate based N-heterocyclic methodologies and their application to natural product synthesis. His first postdoctoral appointment (2007-2008) was with Professor Michael Krische at the University of Texas at Austin where he investigated transfer hydrogenative strategies for carbonyl addition. He then undertook a second postdoctoral appointment with Professor Timothy Donohoe at the University of ...
