Funzionalizzazione selettiva di legami C-H Line of research Direct functionalization of ubiquitous C-H bonds is the most straightforward, and hence the most effective, route to the desired product, but targeting a specific C-H bond among many similar others stands as an open challenge. My research aims to functionalize a specific C-H bond and unlock currently unaccessible selectivities (i) altering the innate outcome of C-H functionalization via supramolecular chemistry and (ii) disclosing and understanding new reactivity for sustainable C-H functionalization.
