StoltzWebsitehttps:\/\/garg.chem.ucla.eduNeil K. Garg is currently a Distinguished professor of chemistry and holds the Kenneth N. Trueblood Endowed Chair at the University of California, Los Angeles.[1] Garg’s research is focused on the chemical synthesis of organic compounds, with an emphasis on the development of new strategies for the preparation of complex molecules possessing unique structural, biological, and physical properties. His group has made breakthroughs in catalysis, especially strong bond activation of esters and amides using nickel catalysts, and in the understanding and utilization of strained intermediates, such as arynes, cyclic alkynes, and cyclic allenes.  His laboratory has completed the total syntheses of many natural products, including welwitindolinones, akuammilines, and tubingensin alkaloids. Garg is a co-Founder of ElectraTect, Inc.,[2]He has inspired a series of student-created music videos[3] to encourage students to learn organic chemistry. He has led other innovative projects, such as the Organic Coloring Book series,[4] The O-Chem (Re)-Activity Book,[5] the Backside Attack smartphone app,[6] QR Chem,[7] RS Chemistry,[8] Virtual Reality Chemistry,[9] ChemMatch,[10] Biology And Chemistry Online Notes (BACON).[11] and #MentorFirst.[12] These resources have benefited hundreds of thousands of people in more than 150 countries worldwide.[13]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsEducation[edit]Awards and honors[edit]Current[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Education[edit]Garg received his B.S. from New York University in 2000.
