Dalton discussion 12: Catalytic C-H and C-X bond activation

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

The 12th Dalton Discussion (DD12) conference, held at Durham University, UK, September 13 15, 2010, discussed various topics related to catalytic C-H and C-X bond activation. Some of the common themes discussed at DD12 included ligand design and kinetic studies of catalytic processes involving C H and C X activation, new opportunities in C X activation, fundamental experimental aspects of C X and C H activation, and mechanistic and theoretical aspects of C X and C H activation. A brief overview of carbon fluorine activation processes including cross-coupling reactions of polyfluoroarenes and stoichiometric and catalytic regioselective C H fictionalizations were also discussed. Poster prizes went to 'Development of chiral 4-(DAAP)-N-oxide catalysts for the sulfonylative kinetic resolution of amines' and 'Reversible reactions across the M C bond of lanthanide NHC complexes to form new N E and C E bonds'.
