DESCRIPTION:Professor Yu ZHAO\, Department of Chemistry\, National Univers
 ity of Singapore https://zhaoyugroup.sg/\nYu Zhao\nDepartment of Chemistry
 \, National University of Singapore\n\nzhaoyu@nus.edu.sg\n\n\nThe developm
 ent of economical and selective catalytic methods is of significant import
 ance for the promotion of sustainable chemical synthesis. My group at Nati
 onal University of Singapore focuses on the identification of catalytic en
 antioselective redox-neutral transformations to access valuable chiral bui
 lding blocks in organic synthesis. Such methods have the significant advan
 tage of circumventing the redundant oxidation/reduction steps to reduce wa
 ste production in chemical synthesis. In particular\, the stereo-convergen
 t chiral amine and higher-order alcohol synthesis from readily available r
 acemic alcohols via borrowing hydrogen and enantioselective heterocycle fu
 nctionalization will be discussed in details.\n\n\n\n
