"To impact science and society in the way that we feel is possible, synthetic chemistry needs to combine innovation and execution. We are motivated by the idea that novel chemical methodologies are needed to enable the synthesis of novel, previously elusive natural-like scaffolds. Only innovative organic chemistry research can provide the next generation of problem solvers.The goal of the ORGANO-C ...

C-H activation (functionalization) is the direct and selective substitution of a carbon-hydrogen bond by new, lower in energy C-X bonds (C-C, C-O, C-N, among others) and is one of the most important current goals in chemistry. These transformations have very broad potential in synthesis because C-H bonds are ubiquitous and their selective activation will change current practice of organic synthes ...
