Synthesis of organic compounds of industrial and pharmaceutical interest under electrochemical conditions Line of research The research activity focuses on the use of ionic liquids as efficient solvent / support electrolyte systems in electrolysis experiments for the synthesis of compounds with potential industrial and pharmaceutical interest. Furthermore, the cathodic reduction of imidazolium ionic liquids allows the generation of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), used as organocatalysts to promote a wide range of organic reactions. These electrochemical systems allow an approach to organic synthesis following the principles of sustainable chemistry through the recycling of these systems Staff Supervisor: Fabrizio VeticaUniversity staff: Prof.ssa Marta Feroci (Dipartimento di Scienze di Base e Applicate per l’Ingegneria, SBAI) Publications Electrogenerated NHCs in Organic Synthesis: Ionic Liquids vs Organic Solvents Effects (ahead of print)Organic electrochemistry: Synthesis and functionalization of β-lactams in the twenty-first centuryIn Situ Anodically Oxidized BMIm-BF4: A Safe and Recyclable BF3 SourceElectrogenerated BF3 From Tetrafluoroborate-Based Ionic Liquids: Theoretical And Experimental Studies Towards Selective Styrene Oxide IsomerizationElectrochemical Bottom-Up Synthesis of Chiral Carbon Dots from L-Proline and Their Application as Nano-Organocatalysts in a Stereoselective Aldol Reaction Theme and ERC Theme: Sustainable chemistryERC: PE4_8 Electrochemistry, electrodialysis, microfluidics, sensorsPE5_5 Ionic liquidsPE5_17 Organic chemistry Traineeship offer Area di ricerca: Organic chemistryAvailability: one positionCourse of study (advised): Chemistry
