Development of a Redox-Active Ligand Framework: A Novel Approach towards Reactivity in C−H Functionalization Reactions Open Access
Putri, Marcella Abby (2016)
Abstract
The development of C−H functionalization chemistry has advanced significantly in recent years, allowing for more efficient methods for synthesizing complex molecules by forming C−C and C−N bonds from classically unreactive C−H bonds. Although second- and third-row Group IX transition metal catalysts dominate significant portions of the field for C−H functionalization chemistry, recent work by several groups have indicated new reactivity patterns using first-row transition metal catalysts with redox-active ligands. However, limitations to these catalysts include ease of use and inaccessibility. We hypothesize that the use of redox-active ligands with second- and third-row transition metals will allow us to access new reactivity that was previously only accessible by first-row transition metal catalysts. A method for synthesizing a new redox-active ligand scaffold has been developed in our lab. Plans to generate metal complex and assess its viability in C−H functionalization reactions are currently underway.
