Talk Information

In the past few decades, transition metal catalyzed C-H functionalization has enjoyed tremendous advances. In order to realize good reactivity and selectivity, various directing groups have been developed. However, two main drawbacks occur: i). it is difficult to remove; ii). hard for diverse transformations. Under this background, I first designed triazene as a new, versatile and removable directing group for C-H functionalization, guided by “traceless directing strategy”. Besides, I have also conducted systematic research towards manganese(I)-catalyzed C-H activation.
