Research

My research group is composed of undergraduate students. Our research efforts are primarily in the field of organic synthesis. Currently, there are six areas of research that the Ippoliti group is actively involved in. All six of these areas are in organic synthesis. Specifically, these six areas are: synthesis of photochromic molecules, synthesis of hole transporters, synthesis of chromogenic enzyme substrates, synthesis of isotopically labeled drug and flavor molecules, synthesis of thermochromic polymers and synthesis of biocompatible polymers. All of these areas will give the student experience in carrying out reactions, purifying products and structure elucidation using nmr spectroscopy.

 

I am also involved in projects concerning the analysis of polyurethanes by nmr spectroscopy.
