Abstract:

Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have revolutionized how molecules are synthesized. Our research group is interested in developing new chemoselective coupling processes that complement entrenched Pd-catalyzed methods. This presentation will discuss key observations and experimental parameters that allowed for reaction development, mechanistic aspects of the processes, and applications in bioactive molecule synthesis and functionalization.
