About me

I earned my bachelor from Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, Vietnam. After that, I continued my master at Ecole Polytechnique, France.

Research area

My work focus on reductive cross-coupling reaction of carbonyls based on silicon reagent to generate substituted alkenes.

Carbon-carbon double bonds play an important role in nature as well as commodity chemicals. For this reason, one of the major tasks in organic chemistry is development and application of new strategies for the synthesis of C=C bonds. The hypothesis suggested herein is based on the unexplored idea that the ordinary Peterson reaction[1] could be combined with known sila-Peterson reactions[2] to create novel reductive carbonyl-carbonyl coupling.
