Developed efficient enantioselective synthesis pathways for aryl chlorides using iron(II)-based green catalysts under both flow and batch conditions. • Applied principles of organometallic chemistry and green catalysis to enhance stereoselectivity and scalability of asymmetric transformations. • Characterized reaction intermediates and final products using NMR, LC-MS, and TLC, improving structure elucidation accuracy and experiment turnaround time. • Conducted targeted literature reviews with SciFinder to support ligand design and catalyst selection for optimized reactivity. • Collaborated across a multidisciplinary team to streamline sustainable synthetic methodology in compliance with green chemistry metrics.

excuted complex catalytic reactions under inert conditions using Schlenk lines and tubes, contributing to the development of a novel method for selective CS vs. CCl bond cleavage. • Improved reaction yield by up to 35% through strategic ligand screening and tuning of variables such as temperature, catalyst loading, and solvent choice. • Increased analytical precision by 25% by optimizing GC-MS and FID workflows, which accelerated data reporting and improved reproducibility across trials. • Identified key mechanistic insights into inter- and intramolecular catalysis, directly informing the design of future chemoselective transformations. • Partnered with principal investigator Dr. So Chau Ming to implement high-throughput screening strategies, streamlining experimental development and lab-scale synthesis protocols.
