What this research studies
This research focuses on improving our understanding of catalytic reactions that involve unstable and reactive intermediates. By combining computational modeling with experimental techniques, the project aims to develop new methods for creating carbon-carbon bonds using iron catalysts. This could lead to more efficient and sustainable ways to synthesize important medicinal compounds. The research will explore two main areas: new asymmetric reactions and the synthesis of complex molecular structures through innovative catalytic processes.
