Title: Designing Sustainable Chemical Methods and Processes: Advances in Sulfoximine Chemistry and Amino Acid Synthesis
Summary: This thesis seminar will cover the design of sustainable chemical methods and processes spanning work on asymmetric sulfoximine synthesis to the development of systems for producing amino acids from air-derived feedstocks. Early work focuses on the development of enantiocatalytic strategies to access sulfilimines which could later be oxidized into pharmaceutically relevant sulfoximines, while recent research explores integrated electrochemical and thermal approaches to convert CO₂ and nitrogen species into value-added products such as glycine.
