The conventional training for synthetic chemists typically involves solution based, homogeneous chemistry. Most reaction designs and concepts therefore are predominantly based on controlling molar ratios, concentrations and temperatures.
With electrosynthesis, a higher number of parameters has strong influence on the outcome. In combination with the additional, seemingly ‚exotic‘ equipment needed for performing such reactions, the barrier for entering this field of synthesis is high.

The 2017 summer school on electrosynthesis will therefore focus on a concise introduction to basic principles in electrochemistry and their relevance to practial synthetic problems.

Well-renowned speakers from Germany, Mexico and the United States will provide tutorials on the major transformations and instruments necessary for successful electrosynthetic applications. Furthermore, there will be enough time for participants to discuss their own projects with the researchers.

The summer school will conclude with a visit to the large scale electrosynthesis facilities at BASF SE, Ludwigshafen.

Confirmed Speakers

Tutorials will be given by

K. Domke (MPI-P Mainz)
B. Frontana-Uribe (UNA Mexico)
K. Moeller (WU St. Louis, USA)
S.R. Waldvogel (JGU Mainz)

All presentations will be held in English.
