We are a research group deeply rooted in the study
of fluorinated organic compounds.
​
Why fluorine, of all atoms?
Easy. Fluorine has become vital to the development of
drugs, agrochemical agents and advanced materials.
​
What is the problem, then?
Greener and overall better chemical processes are needed to prepare organofluorine compounds or exploit them as synthetic intermediates.
​
How does the Hamel group contribute to this?
Our mission is to leverage catalysis as a strategic tool for the preparation and derivatization of organofluorine compounds through chemo-, regio- and enantioselective C–H, C–C and C–F bond scission.
