John Porco investigates chemical syntheses and complex molecules synthesis, focusing on development of new synthetic methodologies for efficient chemical synthesis and complex chemical libraries. He joined the Department of Chemistry at Boston University in 1999 and was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in September 2004. His research, conducted within the Boston University Center for Molecular Discovery, emphasizes synthetic methodologies, including copper (I)-mediated formation of enamides, enantioselective oxidative dearomatization using chiral copper complexes, and photocycloaddition leading to natural products. His work contributes to novel reaction discovery and biomimetic synthesis approaches, testing plausible biosyntheses of complex natural products and derivatives. Porco leads various projects aimed at advancing synthetic methods and enhancing chemical libraries for biomedical research.
