Abstract

For more than 20 years, the Fu lab has explored the use of transition metal catalysts to enable novel nucleophilic substitution reactions. However, deficiencies in both fundamental reactivity and useful applications persist in this area. The research detailed in this thesis focuses on the development of reactivity and applications of transition metal-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reactions.
