Periodic Reporting for period 1 - b-lactams C-H activation (Discovery of novel β-lactam analogs oriented to control multidrug-resistant bacteria enabled by Pd-catalyzed C–H activation of aliphatic amines)

Methods that enable practical and selective functionalization of aliphatic systems are of significant importance to the continued advance of chemical synthesis. Over the last two decades, transition-metal catalysis has emerged as an effective means of C–H activation using...
