Silicon chemistry

Advanced Molecular Technologies is a chemical company specialising in silicon reagents. The Hosomi-Sakurai Reaction is an elegant method for allylating various carbon electrophiles. In this project we want to study this reaction developing new reactions, new types of products and new reagents for potential addition to the AMT catalogue.
