Green Chemistry and SOMAB Joint Session on C-H Bond Activation
Traditional organic synthesis has dealt mainly with manipulation of pre-existing functional groups in order to direct reactions and construct targets. With the impact of green chemistry on synthesis, chemists today are now focusing their efforts on building molecular complexity more efficiently, directly onto a hydrocarbon bearing little or no functionality. For example, a traditional approach to C-C bond construction might involve halogenation followed by metallation, followed in turn by a coupling; the new “green” approach simply couples the starting hydrocarbon directly. Great progress has been made in recent years in devising new processes for coupling directly onto hydrocarbons, and for producing new functional groups with specific regiochemistry. This session brings together some of the leading workers in this exciting field.
