We are an organic synthesis research group from Xiamen University located in Xiamen, China. Our current research interests include the invention of novel catalytically synthetic methodology, the design of novel chiral catalysts to uncover the previously unknown asymmetric catalytic reactions, as well as their applications in the syntheses of bioactive molecules and natural products. The aim of the research group is to provide robust, efficient, and sustainable catalytic methods for streamlined organic synthesis. If you are interested in joining our research group, please contact cxzhuo@xmu.edu.cn
