Scott J. Miller is a researcher at Yale University specializing in asymmetric catalysis and organic synthesis. His work focuses on the development of chiral catalysts, particularly those based on amino acids, peptides, and bis(oxazoline) copper complexes. He explores their applications in enantioselective reactions such as the Diels–Alder reaction and ring-closing metathesis. His research also involves the synthesis of conformationally restricted amino acids and peptides using olefin metathesis. Additionally, he investigates dynamic kinetic resolution and light-driven deracemization through excited-state electron transfer. Miller's contributions span the design of peptide-based catalysts and the application of catalytic processes in complex molecule synthesis.
