PhD project - My PhD project focuses on the exploration of new paradigms and reactivity of Cage-shaped phosphatriptycene molecules. We modulate the reactivity of the Phosphorus atom by playing with the substrates present in the phenyl rings orthogonal to the phosphorus atom. We have tested Iminophosphoranes and Fluorophosphonium cations derived from phosphatriptycene in various useful organic transformations. Currently, I am working on new fluorination reactions and the development of new FLP systems for chiral hydrogenation reactions and new methodology development in Gold catalysis.
