Description

Unlocking latent reactivity in chemical synthesis via electrochemistry . This project seeks to establish new methods for the efficient preparation of organic compounds using direct inputs of electricity to unlock fundamental reactivity that is otherwise unattainable under mild conditions. Employing an integrated experimental and computational approach, we will design new chemical reactions in which simple electrochemical triggers transform stable and inexpensive precursors into highly reactive intermediates in a controlled fashion. Ultimately, this research will enable safer and greener manufacturing of high-value molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, that are central to improvements in human health and the quality of life enjoyed by modern society. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3405 - Organic Chemistry. Lead: Prof Michelle Coote
