Description

Next Generation Synthesis. This project aims to unite state-of-the-art domino reaction strategies with sustainably resourced organic feedstocks to improve efficiency and sustainability in organic chemical synthesis. Organic compounds are ubiquitous: we use them as medicines, agrochemicals and countless other materials. The problem is that their manufacture is costly, labour-intensive, time-consuming and generally unsustainable. Efficiency gains in chemical synthesis will lead to less waste, thereby reducing negative environmental impact. Other benefits include enhanced capacity in the next generation of chemical synthesis, which will advance fundamental science and train the next generation of Australian scientists in world leading, next generation approaches.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3405 - Organic Chemistry. Lead: Prof Michael Sherburn
