Final Report Summary - CHAT (Catalytic C-H activation-Initiated Tandem Reactions: Devise, Study and Application to natural renewable molecules)
The global objective of this project is to learn the last top advances in catalytic C–H activation and apply them to the transformation of natural renewable molecules. The specific aims of the research project are:
1) Devising C–H activation initiated tandem reactions with Rhodium catalysts and explore its application to organic synthesis. Outgoing Phase.
2)Transfer the developed methodology to the transformation of some natural renewable products– in particular Oleic Acid– into valuable molecules like drugs or drug precursors. Outgoing and Returning Phases.
3)Initiate the develoopment of new catalysts for C–H activation‐initiated tandem reactions based on group 10 metals. Outgoing Phase.
