Jon Ellman

Jon Ellman is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Pharmacology at Yale University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on Organic Chemistry, Catalysis, and Chemical Biology. Ellman has been a member of Yale's faculty since 2010. His laboratory is known for pioneering tert-butanesulfinamide chemistry and developing methods for catalytic C-H to C-C bond conversion. The Ellman lab also engages in the design of structures that interact with biological systems, including tools for studying enzyme function and compounds for drug development. His work has been recognized through numerous awards and honors, and he maintains an active research profile through his website and publications.

Jonathan Ellman is a researcher at Yale University whose work focuses on the development of catalytic methods for C−H bond functionalization and the synthesis of complex organic molecules. His research explores rhodium-catalyzed reactions that enable the selective activation and transformation of C−H bonds, with applications in asymmetric synthesis and the creation of small molecule libraries. Ellman's work also includes the synthesis of functionalized nitrogen heterocycles and the design of combinatorial libraries for protease specificity profiling. His research has contributed to the development of efficient solid-phase synthesis strategies for benzodiazepine derivatives and the asymmetric synthesis of amines. These efforts highlight his expertise in transition-metal catalysis, C−H bond activation, and combinatorial chemistry.
