HETEROCYCLIC CHEMISTRY

Heterocyclic chemistry comprises at least half of all organic chemistry research worldwide, including the vast majority of organic work done in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. One goal of the work at Tampere University of Technology is to further synthesize different types of heterocycles. Previously also solid phase methods have been utilized for the synthesis of indoles.
Indoles have also been used as motif for several chiral ligands for enantioselective synthesis we have recently reported.
