Homogeneous Transition-Metal Catalysis and Reaction Development

The research in the Søren Kramer Group focuses on developing novel chemical reactions catalyzed by homogeneous transition-metal complexes. We combine photocatalysis, C–H functionalization, and enantioselective catalysis to create new transformations that are relevant for medicinal chemistry. A central goal is to enhance sustainability and streamline synthetic routes to pharmaceutical candidates, while gaining mechanistic understanding of the reactions. The group is part of the Homogenous Catalysis unit of Organic Chemistry.
