Recently, the team of Professor Zhao Baoguo and Professor Chen Wenwen from the SHNU College of Chemistry and Materials Science made progress in the research of biomimetic carbonyl catalyzed asymmetric functionalization of inert primary amine α C-H bonds. The related results were published in the Journal of American Chemical Society (JAC) under the title Direct Enantioselective α - C-H Conjugate Addition of Propargylamines to α, β - Naturally Ketones via Carbonyl Catalysis. The two master's candidates Zhang Ruixin and Xu Jiwei from SHNU act as co-first authors of the paper, and Professor Zhao Baoguo and Professor Chen Wenwen are co -corresponding authors of the paper.
This work has received funding support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai Biomimetric Catalysis Frontier Science Research Base, and Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Green Energy.
