Borane Functionalization via Boryl Radical
Project Description
Innovative strategies will be developed to provide access to boryl radicals and related borylation methodologies. The reseaarch will lead to a wide variety of organoborane compounds, which are difficult to prepare by previous methods. These borane derivatives are expected to find usefully applications in synthetic chemistry, materials, and drug discovery.
