Present
Ph.D:
The main focus of my Ph.D. research was to understand the mechanism of organic reactions via a combination of experimental and computational observations. In general, our lab focused on the determination of dynamic effects involved in a determined reaction, and their impact in the reaction's selectivity, rate and mechanistic pathway. In order to do so, we determine KIEs at natural abundance, reaction kinetics, and product ratio of the reactions. These observations were then explained using computational chemistry. Through my Ph.D. I worked in multiple reactions, such as: Diels-Alders, Cope-type hydroamination, the Wittig reaction, nitration of alkylated aromatics using highly reactive NO2+ salts, and Friedel-Crafts acylation of activated aromatics.
