 | | Professor Denmark is primarily interested in the invention of new synthetic reactions and the origin of stereocontrol in fundamental carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. |
 | | The current emphasis in his laboratories centers on the relationship between structure, reactivity and stereoselectivity in a variety of organo-element systems such as: palladium catalyzed cross-couplings with organofunctional silicon compounds, asymmetric catalysis of carbonyl addition reactions and chiral Lewis base activation of Lewis acids. |
 | | In addition his research program encompasses the development and application of tandem heterodiene cycloadditions for the synthesis of complex polycyclic alkaloids. |
