Abstract: Activation and highly effective asymmetric transformations with complex substrates is challenging.1 In search of a general solution, we have initiated a program where two different activators interacting with the substrate cooperatively provide the necessary activation for a variety of transformations. Demonstration of synergistic catalysis using different combinations of activators will be discussed. Results from these studies as well as mechanistic details based on solid state, solution phase, and computational studies will be presented.
Bio-sketch: Mukund Sibi earned his Ph.D. in 1980 from the City University of New York (Prof. Robert Lichter). After postdoctoral studies, he began his independent career at North Dakota State University where he is currently a University Distinguished Professor. His research focus is on radical chemistry, catalysis, total synthesis, polymer chemistry and green chemistry. He is an Arthur C. Cope Scholar awardee from the American Chemical Society and a Fellow of the AAAS.
