Organocatalysis & Carbohydrate Chemistry

Welcome to PK Research Group

Research Overview:

Our research focuses on the development of organocatalytic methodologies for efficient and sustainable organic transformations. We are particularly interested in the design and synthesis of new glycosyl donors and acceptors to achieve high stereoselectivity in glycosylation reactions.In addition, our work explores the reactivity and functionalization of carbohydrates, including selective protection–deprotection strategies and mechanistic understanding of glycosylation processes. Through these studies, we aim to advance carbohydrate chemistry and enable the synthesis of structurally diverse and biologically relevant molecules.
