Funded Activity Summary

Metal-free strategies for sustainable light-driven synthesis. Innovation in synthetic chemistry drives the discovery of new life-saving drugs, agrochemicals and functional materials. This project aims to use visible light to access underexploited reactive intermediates and harness their unique reactivity in new sustainable synthetic transformations. The new chemical processes are expected to deliver increased economy, efficiency and precision in the synthesis of bioactive molecules that are inaccessible or challenging to prepare with existing technologies. The conceptual and practical outcomes of this project are expected to benefit both academia and industry as the use of hazardous and expensive metal catalysts can be avoided, reducing chemical waste and simplifying purification.
