The Lautens group is focused on the investigation and development of novel transition-metal-mediated organic transformations. Some projects include catalyst-controlled asymmetric transformations while others focus on controlled tandem or domino processes. Of particular interest are reactions which can efficiently construct frameworks of pharmaceutical compounds or fragments of biologically-active natural products.

The tandem process displays high versatility: Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira couplings, as well as direct arylation can be used orthogonally to carbon-nitrogen bond formation under palladium-catalyzed conditions to create a diverse set of 2- substituted indoles, and a wide range of functionality is tolerated at all positions of the benzenoid ring.
