Diploma Thesis
In this study, we aim to combine the power of advanced catalytic organic chemistry with a synthetic biology approach, implementing the tools of metabolic engineering to create a versatile synthetic platform for the production of aldehydes in general and chiral fragrances in particular.
Key challenges in synthetic chemistry:
- Implementation of a catalytic and biocompatible synthesis towards α or β-substituted cinnamic acid derivatives.
- Investigation of the catalytic Wittig-olefination in water at room temperature.
- Olefin cross metathesis in water at environmentally benign temperatures.
Positions: 2 Positions available
Duration: 6-12 month
