Metal-promoted bond functionalisation: New routes to amides and thioamides
Grant number: DP180101187 | Funding period: 2018 - 2021
Completed
Abstract
This project aims to discover new metal-promoted methods to synthesise amides and thioamides, important structural motifs in chemistry and biology. The project will use a mechanism-based approach that integrates theory with gas- and solution-phase experiments to discover new chemical reactions. A benefit of this research will be new eco-friendly alternatives to existing processes, thereby reducing waste and eliminating toxic and expensive reagents.
