Research areas
Research in the Yoon group focuses on the development of new reaction methods for organic synthesis with a particular interest in the use of catalysis as a strategy for increasing process efficiency, controlling reaction selectivity, and reducing the environmental impact of chemical synthesis. Representative project areas include:
* New reactions of oxaziridines
* Visible light photocatalysis
* Total synthesis of natural products
