Reaction development: a student's checklist

Tyler, Jasper L.; Trauner, Dirk; Glorius, Frank

Zusammenfassung

So you’ve discovered a reaction. But how do you turn this new discovery into a fully-fledged program that maximises the potential of your novel transformation? Herein, we provide a student's checklist to serve as a helpful guide for synthesis development, allowing you to thoroughly investigate the chemistry in question while ensuring that no key aspect of the project is overlooked. A wide variety of the most illuminating synthetic and spectroscopic techniques will be summarised, in conjunction with literature examples and our own insights, to provide sound justifications for their implementation towards the goal of developing new reactions.
