Carboxylic acids as directing groups for intramolecular catalytic oxidation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with bioinspired catalysts 

Cianfanelli, Marco (Date of defense: 2021-12-03)

In this thesis we developed a protocol for the intramolecular oxidation of prochiral secondary C-H bonds in which carboxylic acids, acting as directing groups for the oxidant species, promoted a highly site-selective and ...
