PhD in Photochemical Arylative Carbonylation and Formylation using Manganese Catalysis at University of York University of York in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of York in Organic Chemistry and Synthetic Chemistry : Sustainable Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles from Bio-based Feedstocks . This collaborative project focuses on using bio-based feedstocks to build unsaturated and saturated nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds, then decorating them into agrochemical lead-like compounds. Research themes include synthesis of heteroaromatics such as pyridines, pyrazines, pyrimidines, and quinolines, as well as terpene-derived sp3-...

PhD opportunity: Sustainable Synthesis for Medicinal Chemistry in 3-Dimensions: Bioisosteres, PROTAC Linkers, Scaffold Hopping and Unnatural Amino Acids. This project is offered through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP CDT), a fully funded 4-year PhD programme jointly delivered by the Universities of Oxford and York.
