Design of synthetic methodologies for the activation and functionalization of light hydrocarbons
Sustainable chemistry looks for the transformation of abundant crude materials, such as the readily available simple hydrocarbons found in petroleum and its derivates in liquid form and in gas phase in natural gas.

| Sumario: | Sustainable chemistry looks for the transformation of abundant crude materials, such as the readily available simple hydrocarbons found in petroleum and its derivates in liquid form and in gas phase in natural gas. These molecules offer a significant potential for being used as reagents in chemical transformations. Traditionally they have been used as combustion fuels but growing environmental concerns have driven the researchers to find new applications in the synthesis of high-value molecules with socio-economic and medical applications to improve the world welfare. General alkylation protocols described, often are toxic, polluting and inefficient, generating stoichiometric amounts of waste. Despite progress on this field, some existing methods rely on harsh conditions, limiting industrial applications. Photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional methodologies. |
