Development of atom-economical and enantioselective catalytic radical reactions (B02)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In B2 we investigate catalytic radical reactions that address the issues of sustainability and stereose-lectivity. Examples are radical arylations, epoxide hydrosilylations, and regiodivergent epoxide openings. Catalyst design is based on an interdisciplinary strategy that relies on close cooperation with theoretical and EPR projects. Our results will demonstrate that the concept of catalysis in single elec-tron steps that relates 'classical' organometallic chemistry to radical chemistry provides a general design principle for the development of sustainable, atom-economical and enantioselective radical reactions.
