Expert has applied his synthetic organic chemistry background to the
development of chiral catalysts enabling efficient asymmetric synthesis for
selected reactions of synthetic importance. In recent years, catalytic
asymmetric synthesis has been recognized as one of the most valuable tool
for efficient access to enantiopure molecules. Asymmetric catalysis in
aqueous media in particular is of high current interest because water is a key
solvent for environmentally benign chemical synthesis. His results will
provide medicinal researchers with new tools for preparing biologically
important molecules. Indeed, the practicality of his synthetic strategies will
speed up the synthesis of appreciable quantities of natural and unnatural
products for biological evaluation, and the preparation of analogues to serve
as probes to the study of biological systems and the expedition of drug
discovery.
He reported the use of bismuth(III) salts susceptible to behave as Lewis acids.
This domain is very promising nowadays because the development of efficient
catalysts for asymmetric synthesis is a major concern.
His previous experience in homogeneous catalysis involving transition metals
is a major advantage.
