Selectivity in the Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfonamides

Kimberly Geoghegan graduated from University College Dublin (UCD) with a B.Sc. in Chemistry in 2009.  She continued on in UCD and joined the research group of Dr. Paul Evans.  She was awarded a National University of Ireland (NUI) Travelling Studentship to undertake her doctoral studies on the regioselective Heck reaction and its applications in the synthesis of natural products, and graduated with her Ph.D. in 2013.  Since 2014, Kimberly has been a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Jeffrey W. Bode at ETH Zürich, where she is developing novel reagents for the synthesis of saturated nitrogen containing heterocycles.
