Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qingquan Lu"
- Qingquan Lu's recent research primarily focuses on advancing catalytic methods for the enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds, demonstrating novel approaches such as asymmetric paired electrolysis and paired oxidative/reductive catalysis to achieve high enantioselectivity in various organic transformations.
- The findings highlight the development of efficient and sustainable protocols that utilize earth-abundant catalysts, such as iron and nickel, for the transformation of hydrocarbons, including the alkylarylation of olefins and the coupling of sulfonylimines, with remarkable yields and selectivity.
- Additionally, Lu's work extends to the environmental field, investigating the role of biochar in mediating cadmium immobilization in contaminated soils, underscoring the interdisciplinary nature of his research and its implications for both synthetic chemistry and environmental remediation.
