The Bunescu Research Group University of Bonn

Our approach
 

Our research group's focal goal is to develop novel strategies to efficiently access chemical entities with lower ecological and economic impacts. To achieve this aim, we will employ earth-abundant transition metal-catalysis to enable chemical transformations via C-H activation, dearomative difunctionalization, and photocatalytic radical cross-coupling processes. Transition metal catalysis is central to enhance organic synthesis's sustainability by allowing shorter, more selective, less energy demanding synthetic routes, meeting the green chemistry criteria.
