New Catalysed Routes to the Efficient Synthesis of Biologically Active Molecules

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Enhancing the economic viability and the energy efficiency of chemical transformations is of fundamental importance in the chemicals industry, and is essential in the targeted production of drugs and fine chemicals for frontier technologies. By using multiple metal centres to simultaneously promote series of reaction steps in a single pot, this project will develop an innovative approach to efficient syntheses of biologically active molecules. The new methods and new catalysts for enhancing the synthesis of highly functionalised compounds will improve significantly the environmental impact of chemical processes by reducing the amount of chemicals required, and reducing waste and energy requirements.
