Our group has developed a series of cross coupling, addition, and C-H bond functionalization reactions that have provided new capabilities to synthetic chemists. This lecture will present the background and recent results on selected examples of these reactions, our studies on the mechanisms of these reaction and how this information reveals the origins of enhanced activity of next-generation catalysts, as well as recent results on conducting organometallic chemistry in whole cells to create unnatural biosynthetic pathways.
