Catalytic C-H activation-Initiated Tandem Reactions: Devise, Study and Application to natural renewable molecules

On the one hand, it is now assumed that in the near future the starting materials in chemistry have to come from renewable feedstock and not only from petroleum cracking. On the other hand, the stability of the chemical bonds in saturated hydrocarbons makes them generally unreactive, and a large variety of hydrocarbons constitute a large lowcost feedstock misused, which is treated as fuel or waste.
