Exploring C-H activation and gold-catalysis as modern tools for the C-C and C-N bond formations KU Leuven
This thesis is devoted to the exploration of C-H activation and Au-catalysis as modern tools for theconstruction of C-C and C-N bonds. In the introductory part of this thesis the origin of the field and few significant examples are discussed. Part I of the thesis deals with Pd- and/or Cu-catalyzed direct functionalization of azoles. Chapter I describes the hitherto unknown direct C-H (het)arylation of substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole ...
