Funded Activity Summary
Organocatalysis: A New Horizon for Synthesis of Organic Structures. 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.Funded Activity Details
