Periodic Reporting for period 1 - PHOTO-ITU (Merging enantioselective isothiourea catalysis with visible-light photoactivation for the synthesis of biologically-relevant chiral molecules)

Currently, many of the important chemicals found in medicine and agriculture are manufactured using long-known techniques that rely on the use of expensive, toxic metals, and the use of thermal energy in the form of heat. A key aim for chemists is to both expand the toolbox of...
