PhD Project: Cycloaddition reaction with nitroso compounds

Abstract of Research Project

We have developed the Cu-Walphos system as efficient catalyst for activation of nitroso pyridines to undergo stereoselective cycloaddition reactions. We are currently looking at novel cycloaddition partners leading to interesting heterocycles.
