Dennis Pollok and Siegfried R. E-mail: waldvogel uni-mainz. The severe limitations of fossil fuels and finite resources influence the scientific community to reconsider chemical synthesis and establish sustainable techniques. Several promising methods have emerged, and electro-organic conversion has attracted particular attention from international academia and industry as an environmentally benign and cost-effective technique.
The easy application, precise control, and safe conversion of substrates with intermediates only accessible by this method reveal novel pathways in synthetic organic chemistry. The popularity of electricity as a reagent is accompanied by the feasible conversion of bio-based feedstocks to limit the carbon footprint.
Several milestones have been achieved in electro-organic conversion at rapid frequency, which have opened up various perspectives for forthcoming processes.
Dennis Pollok received his B. Frederik R. During an internship at University of Toronto he worked in the group of Prof. Dr Dwight S. Seferos on conducting polyselenophenes. He received his M. Dr Siegfried R. Waldvogel where he is currently conducting research as a graduate student on electro-organic synthesis.
Siegfried R. Reetz as supervisor. After his professorship in at University of Bonn, he became a full professor for organic chemistry at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in His research interests are novel electro-organic transformations including bio-based feedstocks from electrosynthetic screening to scale-up.
