Welcome to the Alabugin group at FSU!

New reactions for organic synthesis, biochemistry and materials science

New reactions of alkynes

We focus on the discovery of new reactions of alkynes for organic synthesis and design of new carbon-rich materials.

Reagents for efficient double strand DNA photocleavage

We have developed the most efficient family of photochemical reagents for double-strand DNA-cleaving known to date.

Radical Cyclizations, Fragmentations and Rearrangements

We have discovered new radical cyclizations and the first efficient C-O transposition which converts phenols into benzoates and benzamides.
