Final Report Abstract

Chemistry in general and Organic Synthesis in particular is an enabling science, which is in many cases the basis for innovation and development in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and beyond. The development of an environmentally benign, energy saving, sustainable and cost efficient new quality of organic synthesis is more acute than ever. Catalysis in organic synthesis can be an ideal solution to these problems. Hence, the development of ever more efficient and selective catalysts and catalytic reactions for important synthetic transformations in organic synthesis is at the forefront of molecular sciences, and has been the central research topic of this international research training group. Under the roof of the international research training group “Catalysts and Catalytic Reactions for Organic Synthesis” (IRTG 1038) six research groups from the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Freiburg and five research groups from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Basel have combined their research and teaching activities in this innovative field of research. During two funding periods this IRTG has made significant contributions to the field with a total of nearly 800 original publications (437 FR/348 Bs) from the participating key researchers involved during the two funding periods. A total of 127 PhD students (81 FR/ 46 Bs) finished their scientific education. The excellent scientific training environment of this IRTG helped these PhD students to find rapidly excellent positions in both industry and academia.
