New catalytic strategies for chemical synthesis

My group is focused on the development of new catalyst-controlled reactivity concepts that enable novel transformations in chemical synthesis. This lecture will focus on a number of different aspects of our current research programs. Firstly, the lecture will detail our work towards the discovery and development of general platform for palladium-catalysed C–H bond activation on aliphatic amines. The chemistry described here leads to the selective transformation of a range of C–H bonds adjacent to an unprotected secondary amine into synthetically versatile nitrogen containing molecules and leads to a number of applications of relevance to practitioners of synthetic and medicinal chemistry. The second part of the lecture will focus on the development of a strategy for the selective functionalization of methionine residues in proteins, and detail how this bioconjugation process can be used to generated complex, information rich protein scaffolds.
