Research Interests

Dr. Xing's research laboratory has a long-standing interest in the advancement of novel synthetic methodologies for efficient carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds formation. We are especially interested in the development of atom economic, green, and sustainable approaches for C-H activations and plastic degradation. We also strive to utilize the methods we developed for the synthesis of biologically relevant compounds and investigate the biological activities as well as medicinal chemistry structure and activity relationship (SAR).
