Transforming Boron Chemistry By Exploring Boryl Radical Reactivity
Our ability to construct organic molecules is central to the wellbeing of our society. Boron-containing compounds are some of the most used tools to aid this. These materials are used as building blocks when “stitching” molecules together and also as catalysts in many different settings. The invention of innovative strategies to prepare and exploit borylated molecules is integral to discover and manufacture many products that we use daily. The overarching aim of this proposal is to innovate organic chemistry by inventing novel catalysis concepts based on the reactivity of boryl radicals, an underutilized class of reactive intermediates. My group has introduced a novel approach to generate…
