“Aromatic Ions for Catalyst Design”

Hörsaal 3 der Fakultät für Chemie
Währinger Straße 38, 1090 Wien

Vortrag


Our group is interested in exploring the use of unique structures in catalysis. A particular focus has been the design of catalyst platforms using aromatic ions such as cyclopropenium cation and cyclopentadienyl anion. With this program, we are seeking to develop broadly applicable paradigms for substrate activation that capi-talize on the unique reactivity of these ionic aromatic motifs. This lecture will focus on our development of cy-clopropenimines as a highly effective platform for enantioselective Bronsted base catalysis and pentacarbox-ycyclopentadienes (PCCPs) as a new class of enantioselective Bronsted acid catalysts.
