Jeffrey Bode is a researcher at ETH Zürich whose work focuses on the development of catalytic methods for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. His research interests include N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions, particularly in the formation of amide and peptide bonds, as well as the synthesis of γ-lactams, β-hydroxyesters, and other heterocyclic compounds. Bode's work emphasizes enantioselective processes, such as Diels–Alder reactions and Claisen rearrangements, to achieve high stereoselectivity. His research also explores the mechanistic aspects of NHC-catalyzed reactions and the role of functional groups in catalytic transformations. Additionally, he has contributed to the study of ribosomal frameshifting in the context of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
