Abstract

Our team is working on the development of new reactions based on two keywords: efficiency and sustainability. From the efficiency point of view, we aim at the development of direct and selective coupling of organic molecules without prefunctionalization with reactive groups. From the sustainability point of view, we are investigating Earth-abundant metals as catalysts or reagents.
The research project proposed here envisions a hybrid strategy for C–H functionalization of simple arenes by using a synergistic cooperation of two metal catalysts: one metal will activate an arene substrate, and then the other metal will efficiently and selectively cleave a C-H bond in the activated arene substrate.
