The Schomaker Group specializes in synthetic organic chemistry. Research focuses on the predictive design of novel catalysts for selective C-H functionalizations, photo- and electrochemical strategies for the stereoselective introduction of heteroatoms into allene building blocks, and manipulating divergent reactivities of unusually strained intermediates to explore new high Fsp3 chemical space. Innovative methods are applied to the synthesis of natural products and compounds with anti-TB, anticancer, and antimalarial properties.
