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

Huang Lab published on enabling copper-catalyzed C(sp³)–N coupling in enzymes
Copper-catalyzed radical C(sp³)–N coupling has emerged as a major focus in synthetic catalysis over the past decade. However, achieving this reactivity within an enzymatic system has remained elusive. In this […]
