Welcome! The Frontier group pursues research in synthetic organic chemistry. For an official description, see Alison's department page. Projects are underway in the following areas:

Organometallic Strategies for Organic Synthesis

Pericyclic Reactions

Asymmetric Catalysis

and especially

Total Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products

For more interesting chemistry see Topics. For synthetic targets, see The Quarry.

Graduate students will gain experience in a wide array of synthetic techniques, including organometallic chemistry, and will learn to develop strategies for complex molecule synthesis.
