Corinna S. Schindler that can replace the current precious metal reagents, which are expensive and can be harmful to the environment. The catalyst used is iron (III) chloride. A catalyst is a species that speeds up the kinetics of a reaction by lowering its activation energy and is recovered at the end of the reaction. Catalysts are used to improve reaction yields and decrease reaction times. Schindler’s research group also focuses on the biological activity of natural products and their analogs for medicinal purposes. For her contributions to science, Schindler has been the recipient of many research awards. These include: Corinna S. Schindler
