XAT 2.0
XAT 2.0 sets out to unlock the potential of halogen atom transfer (XAT) as a cutting-edge strategy for the selective generation of radicals. This approach will drive the development of versatile and sustainable synthetic tools, paving the way for innovative routes to biorelevant molecules. Beyond reshaping organic synthesis, the project will also make a strong impact in materials science, offering fresh and forward-looking opportunities for polymer upcycling.
This project is funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR)
