Funded Activity Summary

Photoinduced Palladium Catalysis for Next Generation C-H Bond Activation. This project aims to discover new methods for the conversion of carbon-hydrogen bonds in organic molecules as a general strategy in chemical synthesis. A key conceptual advance in this project is the unification of transition metal catalysis and visible light as a powerful tool to activate these traditionally unreactive, yet abundant chemical bonds in alkanes. With application in fields that range from fine chemical production to drug discovery, the overarching aim of this research is to establish new carbon-hydrogen bond activation reactions and to demonstrate that this strategy can be translated to the invention of new pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and advanced synthetic materials that will have societal impact.
