Title: Wood, Light and Electricity – Three Flavors of Synthetic Chemistry
Abstract:
At present, synthetic organic chemistry largely relies on fossil carbon sources. The seminar will highlight the alternative use of wood-based renewable chemical feedstocks and of photo- and electrochemical transformations in the synthesis of organic molecules, including biologically active natural products such as morphinan, ergot or curare alkaloids.
