Single or Double? A Radical Approach to Main Group Catalysis
Can the use of d-block elements be circumvented in catalysis? The knowledge base of chemical transformations involving transition metal species is vast. Indeed, the versatility of transition metals has rendered them indispensable for a substantial number of transformations. Yet, the corresponding reactivity of compounds derived from the p-block elements is much less studied. However, in the last two decades, a number of advancements has inspired a renaissance in the chemistry of the p-block particularly in the realm of catalytic transformations. With commercial interest in main group catalysts stemming from reduced purification costs, potential lower toxicity, different functional group…
