Progress beyond the state of the art, expected results until the end of the project and potential impacts (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)
The activation of olefins for asymmetric chemical synthesis traditionally relies on transition metal catalysts. Although chemists have long designed chiral Brønsted acid catalysts to activate imines and carbonyl compounds, however achieving stereoselective protonation of simple unbiased olefins has posed a significant synthetic challenge. A realization of such method offers a sustainable alternative to the existing strategy and revolutionize the drug discovery landscape.
