Final Report Abstract

In short, during my research stay at Princeton University, I was able to use the proposed interplay of photoredox and copper catalysis to develop a new copper-catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp3) cross-coupling and demonstrate its usefulness by incorporating pharmaceutically relevant structural motives.
