Funded Activity Summary

Expanding the organometallic toolbox for constructing heterocycles. This project aims to design and synthesise stereospecific cyclic molecules. This is a problem for chemists, particularly when bioactivity and medicinal relevance depend on complex stereochemistry and substitution patterns. This team will build on their discovery of a cascade reaction for synthesising highly stereospecific indolene derivatives. They will target reagents and reaction pathways for creating heterocyclic molecules which are difficult to access. They will synthesise and characterise homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes to develop cyclic molecules and scaffolds relevant in drug discovery. New molecules and reaction pathways will be relevant for biological and medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery programmes.
