Heterogeneously catalyzed shape-selective C-H/N-H coupling reactions for aniline synthesis KU Leuven
Direct arene C-H amination through (transition metal-catalysed) activation of the arene C-H bond has recently dawned as a fundamentally greener method to produce arylamines, rendering pre-functionalisation of the arene obsolete. Arylamines constitute ubiquitous intermediates in the production of widely diverse valuable chemicals, including not only bulk chemicals, such as polymer precursors and dyes, but also fine chemicals, like ...
