Dr. Yihua Hou did intramolecular N-H insertion by Cu(II) mediated reaction of diazo compounds and application of Wolff rearrangement in g-lactam synthesis. Dr. Hou first joined Professor D. N. Harpp's group in McGill University and then Professor S. Hanessian's group in University of Montreal as postdoctoral fellow.
