Descrizione del progetto
Incentivare la capacità scientifica e tecnologica nella chimica organica sintetica
Per una trasformazione efficiente di materiali di partenza basati su risorse biorinnovabili in preziosi elementi costitutivi sintetici è necessaria una ricerca e formazione all’avanguardia nel campo della chimica organica sintetica. Il progetto Biomass4Synthons, finanziato dall’UE, intende promuovere la formazione continua, la ricerca e l’innovazione per quanto concerne la valorizzazione delle risorse biorinnovabili tra i suoi partner in Bulgaria e Portogallo. Alcuni esempi di valorizzazione delle materie prime prontamente disponibili in questi paesi oggetto dell’ampliamento sono molecole a base di furano derivate da carboidrati, quali il furfurale o il 5-idrossimetilfurfurale, l’oleuropeina dalle foglie di ulivo, l’acido abietico e deidroabietico dalla colofonia di gemma e l’alcaloide della lupinina ottenuto dal processo di trattamento delle acque reflue durante la trasformazione dei lupini. Il progetto incentiverà la capacità scientifica e tecnologica delle istituzioni accademiche collegate in aree di fondamentale importanza nel campo della chimica organica sintetica.
Obiettivo
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.
