Prof. Harrity obtained his BSc (Hons.) in Chemistry from the University of Strathclyde in 1991, followed by a PhD from the same institution in 1994. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Boston College, USA from 1994 to 1997, after which he became a Lecturer at the University of Sheffield. Here he was promoted to Senior Lecturer and Reader. He was promoted to Professor in 2009.
In October 2012, Prof. Harrity was appointed to a 3 year Royal Society Industry Fellowship to undertake a collaboration with Peakdale Molecular. During this time, he worked with Peakdale to develop novel functionalised intermediates on commercially relevant scales, thereby introducing new scaffolds into their catalogue portfolio.

Synthesis provides the opportunity to design and prepare specific molecules whilst exploring novel processes that further develop the field of organic chemistry. In this context, our programme has concentrated on new and selective carbon-carbon bond forming strategies for the preparation of functionalised synthetic Intermediates. A summary of projects currently under investigation is outlined below:
Synthesis of Heteroaromatic Boronic acid Derivatives: Aromatic boronic acids are extremely useful and versatile substrates in modern organic chemistry. We have developed a strategically novel approach to these compounds through cycloaddition reactions of alkynylboronic esters. To date, this approach has allowed us to generate a range of boronic acids based on benzene, pyridine, pyrazole, thiophene, indoles amongst others.
Natural products Synthesis: We have developed a [3 + 3] annelation approach to functionalised nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles. This chemistry has provided a platform for the synthesis of a range of alkaloid and marine natural products.
