Funded Activity Summary

Enantioselective catalysis using P-chiral phosphines and phosphinamines. This project aims to develop new methods to synthesise organic molecules. The synthesis of organic molecules for medicines, polymers and other applications depends on the use of catalysts to promote chemical reactions. The use of small organic catalysts, rather than those based on transition metals or enzymes, offers many advantages in the form of low toxicity, low cost, ease of use and minimal environmental impact. This project aims to deliver new methods for synthesis using new approaches in organocatalysis. The methods will be used to synthesise important molecules, including novel catalysts, biocompatible polyester materials and chiral phosphines, which are widely used in chemical industry but difficult and expensive to produce.
