Overview
About the project
The development of sustainable and scalable catalytic methodologies to access structurally diverse organic compounds is a long-term aim for organic chemists. In this regard, organic electrocatalysis has been developed as an attractive catalytic platform making use of renewable electricity instead of stoichiometric oxidants or reductants. We are focusing on the construction of new C-C and C-X bonds and their mechanistic studies under electrochemical conditions with or without the aid of metal catalyst. Project-duration will be 3-6 month, details of arrival/departure dates to be discussed.
The Electro-catalyzed C-c and C-x Bond Cross-couplings (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST)
