Harnessing light and electricity to drive chemical synthesis

该项目将探索和建立使用能量（光和电）输入来打破或形成化学键的原始策略，这可以为有价值的化合物提供新的或改进的途径。通过这种方式，这项研究将通过创造允许化学家在特别温和的条件下制备分子的工具来增加或增强现有的选择性和直接操纵分子的方法。该项目的成果将包括开发有机合成的新技术，并形成化学烷基化和交叉偶联反应的新方法。这有助于在未来更有效、更安全、更便宜地生产重要化合物。

This project will explore and establish original strategies that use inputs of energy (light and electricity) to break or form chemical bonds, which can provide new or improved access to valuable compounds. In this way, this research will augment or enhance existing methods for the selective and direct manipulation of molecules by creating tools that allow chemists to prepare molecules under particularly mild conditions. The outcomes of the project will include the development of new technology for organic synthesis and forging novel approaches for chemical alkylation and cross-coupling reactions. This can contribute to making important compounds more efficiently, safely and cheaper to produce in the future.
