Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences – CHEMISTRY
College of Science, Engineering, and Technology

 

Chemistry is the study of how matter behaves at its most basic level. The central science, chemistry, is involved in everything that we do. Its applications stretch across all areas of life, including medicine, engineering and agriculture.

Research Interests:

The Hamme research group is interested in the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic containing natural products and their synthetic analogues.  Our synthetic approach usually incorporates a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of a 1,3-dipole with a functionalized alkene or alkyne to afford the corresponding heterocyclic compound which usually serves as a precursor to a more complex ring system.  Our research group is also interested in the use of pure water as a reaction medium for organic synthesis.
