Two major research topics in the SKLAOC are natural product chemistry and organic synthetic chemistry. Natural product chemistry is a subject that studies the extraction, isolation, structure elucidation, biological activities, biosynthesis, and structure derivatization of secondary metabolites from living organisms. Organic synthetic chemistry is a subject that utilizes accessible chemical material to make organic molecules with desired structures and functions. Both research topics involve the determination of compound structures. Our Synthetic Chemistry Facilities offers instruments and serves for rigorous compound structural studies. Available instruments are:
