D-Carbonize´s approach targets biocarbon recycling into valuable starting materials for the chemical/polymer industries and will primarily provide innovative low-carb catalysis solutions. The use of biocarbon is advantageous in many respects as it is renewable, generally abundant and non-toxic, and it represents easy-to-handle carbon reagents even on larger scale. Despite the lack of universal (catalytic) strategies […]

Dual Co/Photoredox Catalysis for the Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Skipped Dienes Featuring a Quaternary Carbon Stereocenter
Fluorine-containing functional groups have become of crucial importance for medicinal and agrochemical applications. The incorporation of these moieties into molecular structures allows for significant opportunities to take advantage of bioisosterism as well as to fine-tune the chemical or pharmacological properties of a desired molecule. The objective of the FUSE project is to pioneer a novel […]

Tecnologías Químicas para la Valorización de Residuos Industriales en los Pirineos
This project focuses on the valorization of industrial wastes from agro-alimentary industry (fatty waste) and pesticides (lindane and derivatives) concerning both sides of the Pyrenees. The consortium includes two research laboratories, three industrial piloting and communication organizations, as well as one company. According to the European Commission’s guidelines on innovation, TRIPyr aims to develop state-of-the-art […]
Increasing the scope of CO2-utilising photoreactions: asymmetric photosynthesis of amino acids
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate due to the burning of fossil fuels. At the same time, the production of bulk and fine chemistry mostly relies on the same crude oil as a carbon source. This situation is unsustainable and therefore calls for the recycling of CO2 as a carbon […]

Sustainable Polyesters and Renewable Terpenoid Monomers
Synthetic polymers derived from petrochemical products are essential for the production of a wide range of consumer products. The demand for more sustainable and renewable monomers and polymers is currently increasing, because fossil feedstock will become scarce in future times, and the global legislation is putting an increasing stress on the use of certain monomers […]

Sintesis Estereo y Enantioselectiva para la Valorización de Heterociclos Funcionales
The RE-CYCLE-IT project focuses on the valorization of small, functionalized heterocyclic structures (lactones and cyclic organic carbonates in particular) into more complex molecules through innovative stereo- and enantioselective transformations. The project is divided into three major objectives (O1-O3): (O1) the synthesis of chiral alfa,alfa-disubstituted allylic aliphatic amines and 1,2-diamines using vinyl cyclic carbonates as key […]
