Project Title : Remote selective C-H activation (β and γ-C-H activation) and Palladium/Norbornene catalysis, β-hydrogen elimination. In that, I was experience gained the development of new methodology for Remote selective C-H activation via Pd/Norbornene cooperative catalysis, and recent incorporation to group allowed me to acquire new skills in design pyridine type of ligand, which would be strengthened to maturity by the realization of this project. Finally, the research on Pd/Norbornene cooperative catalysis would provide with deeper knowledge in the discipline of large scale and small scale organic synthesis compounds
