Patrick J. Walsh is the Rhodes-Thompson Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. His research group focuses on merging the fields of inorganic and organic chemistry with an emphasis on chemical catalysis. Current projects involve the application of cation-pi interactions to facilitate the activation of benzylic C–H bonds, as well as Cs+-catalyzed aminobenzylation of aldehydes. His group has also discovered 2-azaallyl anions as super electron donors and has innovated chemistry around the deprotonation of benzophenone ketimines. Walsh's research is aimed at developing new catalytic stoichiometric transformations, showing significant utility in the pharmaceutical sciences. His innovative methodologies have demonstrated practicality in synthesizing compounds relevant for drug development.
