Make it simple: towards a new era for organic synthesis (MakeItSimple)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Organic synthesis has undeniably made tremendous progress over the past two centuries. Nevertheless, our ability to efficiently synthesise molecules is mostly limited to targets of low structural complexity. Traditional synthetic strategies require the presence of reactive functional groups that are used as handles for further functionalisation. This requirement is one of the factors dramatically ...
