Article Synopsis
- Polymers play a key role in modern technology and are linked to environmental pollution, making their functionality and lifecycle vital to consider.
- The core structure of a polymer, known as the backbone, is essential for understanding how to enhance both the function and sustainability of polymers through chemical modifications.
- This review aims to define crucial concepts related to polymer backbone editing, compile historical examples, and highlight future research directions to advance this emerging field.
Catalysis using earth abundant metals is an important goal due to the relative scarcity and expense of precious metal catalysts. It would be even more beneficial to use earth abundant catalysts for the synthesis of common pharmaceutical structural motifs such as pyrrolidine and pyridine. Thus, developing titanium catalysts for asymmetric ring closing hydroamination is a valuable goal.
