Focus Area
We clarify the mechanisms of organic transformations and predict the reaction outcomes, such as regio- and enantioselectivity, using modern quantum chemical approaches. The close collaborations with synthetic organic chemists allow us to verify and test our predictions. Our aim is to improve the efficiency of the experiments with theoretical studies.
