Descripción del proyecto
Fomento de la capacidad científica y tecnológica en química orgánica sintética
La investigación y formación de vanguardia en química orgánica sintética es esencial para la transformación eficiente de materias primas biorenovables en componentes básicos sintéticos valiosos. El objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Biomass4Synthons es fomentar la formación, la investigación y la innovación en la valorización de recursos biorenovables entre sus socios de Bulgaria y Portugal. Algunos ejemplos de valorización de materias primas fácilmente disponibles en estos países con bajo rendimiento en investigación e innovación son: moléculas a base de furano derivadas de carbohidratos, como el furfural y el 5-hidroximetilfurfural; la oleuropeína de las hojas de olivo; el ácido abiético y el ácido deshidroabiético de la goma de colofonia; y el alcaloide lupanina obtenido del tratamiento de las aguas residuales derivadas del procesamiento de altramuces. El proyecto fomentará la capacidad científica y tecnológica de las instituciones académicas vinculadas en áreas clave de la química orgánica sintética.
Objetivo
The overall strategic objective (Ob) of the project Biomass4Synthons, is to place the Institutions – Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon (FFUL), Portugal and Institute of Organic Chemistry with Centre of Phytochemistry Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IOCCP-BAS) Sofia, Bulgaria, and the two non-academic partners: Spartax Chemicals and Science and Technology Park (BLC3) belonging both to Widening Countries. Within the core of a European network of laboratories FFUL and IOCCP-BAS seeks to produce cutting-edge research and training in the field of synthetic organic chemistry for the use of more modern and environmentally friendly tools to achieve the efficient transformation of bio-renewable based starting materials leading to valuable synthetic building blocks. Over the last decade, FFUL and IOCCP-BAS have developed sustainable collaboration in various research topics. The success of this collaboration formed the basis for a join twinning application, which will aim to consolidate it, support its sustainability and foster its growth. Some specific ongoing examples of raw materials valorisation readily available in the two Widening Countries are furan based molecules derived from carbohydrates such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; oleuropein from olive leaves; abietic and dehydroabietic acid from gum rosin (also called colophony) as industrial product extracted from Pinus pinaster and lupanine alkaloid obtained from wastewater treatment of processed lupin beans. The proposed Consortium will enhance the scientific and technological capacity of linked institutions FFUL and IOCCP-BAS in key areas of synthetic organic chemistry such as process intensification by flow chemistry, photochemical and photocatalytic reactions, efficient metal catalysis C-H, C-C and C-heteroatom activation and domino reactions.
