Organic Chemistry

The Greenberg Group uses synthetic and physical organic chemistry to study reaction mechanisms of nucleic acid damage.
The Toscano Group develops novel precursors to HNO, a promising new therapeutic for heart failure.
In a collaboration with chemists at Georgetown University and University of Oregon, the Tovar group engineered radial conjugation pathways into pi-conjugated systems that are traditionally made up of linear pathways.
The Klausen group reports the synthesis of a silicon macrocycle.
The Klausen Group reports the synthesis of a silicon macrocycle.
The Tovar group reports on how torsional/steric bias modulates accessible spin states in quinoidal/diradical pi-conjugated molecules.

Organic chemistry at JHU bridges both synthetic and physical organic chemistry. Current activities include research in synthetic methodology, materials, natural products, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology. Our recent research has found application in medicine (Lectka, Toscano), biology (Greenberg, Rokita, Townsend), and materials science (Klausen, Tovar).

Groups: Greenberg, Huang, Klausen, Lectka, Rokita, Toscano, Tovar, Townsend
