Novel aspects of intramolecular free radical ipso substitution

Objective



The objectives of the present programme are related to the discovery an application of novel free radical chain reactions for organic synthesis. Within the last decade, the advantages of such a strategy, which include mild neutral conditions and the ability to operate in hindered environments, have come to be appreciated. The group of Professor Motherwell has developped several such reactions in recent years (l).
Within this framework, the present programme calls for a detailed study of intramolecular free radical ipso substitution reactions as a novel route to biaryls, heterobiaryls and styrene type units. These are often encountered in a wide variety of bioactive natural products of differing stucture and biosynthetic origin. The reactions developped will be used in natural product synthesis. The basic idea can be encapsulated in scheme 1 below.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
