Research Interest

The McQuade Group's overarching goal is to synthesize important molecules (biologically active for example)using efficient chemical methods and technology.

An overview of recently completed projects include:

Developing asymmetric copper(I)-based catalysts for synthesis of complex polyols:



Developing Novel Chemistry Using Microreactors:


Projects that we are working on now will leverage past accomplishments to produce compounds of significant importance. We are currently developing an ultra-efficient synthesis of the anti-viral drug nevirapine. If we are successful, millions of lives might be positively impacted.
