NWO ECHO grant for Prof. Syuzanna Harutyunyan

Prof. Harutyunyan has been awarded a €260.000 ECHO grant from NWO (the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) to further develop a groundbreaking method for the catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of chiral C-tertiary amines. The novel strategy relies on one-pot alkylation/aza-Brook-rearrangement/carbanion trapping techniques, and promises to afford these important organic, chiral molecules in an efficient, catalytic manner.
