Project Details
Projekt
GRK 1038: Catalysts and Catalytic Reactions for Organic Synthesis
Subject Area
Molecular Chemistry
Term
from 2005 to 2013
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 374870
In the frame of the International Research Training Group five research groups from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Freiburg and three research groups from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Basel will combine their research and teaching activities in the innovative field of catalytic organic synthesis.
Intensive bilateral collaboration will be ensured by the formation of joined research projects. The scientific research programme encompasses important areas of catalytic organic synthesis, from catalyst development, to catalyst separation in biphasic systems, to asymmetric catalysis, enzyme mimics, catalytic enantioselective desymmetrisation and application to total synthesis of biologically relevant target molecules.
The International Research Training Group will provide the students with a vibrant research atmosphere and with an educational programme to develop a deep knowledge of catalysts and catalytic reactions with a focus to organic synthesis. The incorporation of industrial experts in the educational programme will ensure practice relevance and will demonstrate the importance of catalyts and catalytic reactions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
