Final Report Summary - TRIFLU (Trifluoromethylation under Photoredox Catalysis)
the prototypical carbonyl group functionality. Such substrates require new catalytic manifolds to enhance reactivity and allow control over selectivity (regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, chirality transfer, enantioselectivity).
This study aimed at an in-depth understanding of reaction mechanisms (featuring cyclic voltammetric measurements and electrochemistry) and generation of a library of compounds, the properties of which will be examined for potential application in drug discovery.
The project contributes to advance catalysis in Europe and beyond.
