Organocatalysis: A New Horizon for Synthesis of Organic Structures

有机物质是人类生活的重要组成部分，目前的合成技术往往涉及使用过量的试剂或贵重有毒的金属催化剂，生产成本高，对环境造成严重影响。该项目旨在利用有机催化，即由稳定、微小、易于获取的非金属有机化合物催化的化学过程，来找到解决这些问题的方法。将设计和开发新的有机催化方法，以促进环境友好、高效和选择性的化学程序，以低成本生产实验室有机物质，并在潜在的农用化学品和医药制剂的工业合成中应用。

The current technologies to synthesise organic substances, an important part of human life, often involve the use of excess amounts of reagents or precious and toxic metal catalysts, which incur high production costs and severe environmental impact. This project aims to use organocatalysis, chemical processes catalysed by stable, small, easily accessible, non-metallic organic compounds, to find a solution for these issues. Novel organocatalytic methods will be designed and developed in order to promote environmentally friendly, highly efficient and selective chemical procedures for low cost production of laboratory organic substances and application in the industrial synthesis of potential agrochemicals and medicinal agents.
