Research
Zuxiao’s research is focused on the drug discovery directed organic synthesis methodology development. Through his postdoctoral study he realized regio-, and enantioselective C-H functionalization via the merger of “radical chaperone” strategy and copper catalyzed radical relay. Zuxiao’s research focuses on three directions, fluorine chemistry, radical chemistry, and asymmetric catalysis. The long-term goal is to develop novel catalytic system by harness both radical and polar reactivity to realize selective functionalization of inert chemical bonds initiated multicomponent reactions, thus, to provide an efficient way to access biorelevant molecules, as well as a robust tool for late-stage functionalization of complex drug molecules.
