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 at the University of York in photochemical arylative carbonylation and formylation using manganese catalysis and tandem manganese/palladium catalysis . The project sits in the Department of Chemistry and is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP CDT), with training links across Oxford and York. The research will investigate earth-abundant metal catalysts for arylative carbonylation reactions using aromatic and heteroaromati...
