Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis
we solve synthetic challenges in a sustainable manner
Asymmetric Organocatalysis
Small chiral organic molecules can be used to catalyse innovative synthetic transformations. We can use covalent or H-bonding enantioselective catalysis to access new chiral bioactive ingredients
Carbon Dioxide Fixation
We use specific catalysts and photocatalysts to engage CO2 in novel stereoselective synthetic transformations. We create useful molecules from waste materials in a sustainable manner
Photocatalysis
Photocatalysis allows unique reactivity pathways, often unaccesible under polar chemistry. We use light to develop unprecedented reactivity and new molecular scaffolds
