Our group has proposed the concept of reducing addition without an external hydrogen source. The concept is to use carbon monoxide as a reducing agent. One of the reagents (amine, amide, carboxylic acid, CH fragment) acts as a hydrogen source. By avoiding the need to use an external hydrogen source, we were able to create methods that do not affect functional and protective groups. Moreover, it was possible to carry out transformations that were not previously possible due to the hydrogenation of the initial reagents. The approach also solves the problem of carbon monoxide disposal. The developed approaches are used for the synthesis of medicines, natural compounds and preparations for the needs of the agro-industrial complex. New selective reactions of carbon-nitrogen bond formation (production of amines, amides, heterocycles) carbon-carbon (production of carboxylic acids and their esters, nitriles), carbon-oxygen (production of esters and esters). In parallel, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts are being developed and their activity in carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-oxygen bond formation reactions is being studied. The band's staff is very young and friendly. All graduate students defend their dissertations on time. On average, the total impact factor of journals for a graduate student who completed a dissertation research in our group is more than 25.
