This project aims to develop and evaluate educational materials for Chemistry and Science teaching, integrating educational technologies and the STEAM perspective (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The proposal aligns with the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), emphasizing essential competencies and skills for student learning. The focus is on Enviro…
Raw materials from renewable sources, as well as agro-industrial waste, represent an attractive source of useful chemical functionalities, which to date is still largely untapped in terms of their application in the fine chemicals industry. Our research group has already identified continuous flow processing as a fundamental technology for the valorization of such materials, so that any d…
Biofeedstocks in general and biowaste in particular represent an attractive source of useful chemical functionality, which to date is still largely untapped in terms of its application in the fine chemicals industry. Our group have identified continuous flow methods as a must use technology for the valorization of such materials. Indeed, many principles of Green Chemistry can be achieved …

The environmental impact resulting from the rampant use of fossil fuels has driven the advancement of more sustainable technologies and processes, in line with the recommendations of the United Nations (UN) as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, this research project proposes a study on photoelectrochemical organic synthesis, an area still little explor…
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), named due to it affects tropical and subtropical regions and have not been targeted by major pharmaceutical companies, have been defined as a global concern by the World Health Organization (WHO). Among the diseases classified as NTDs, Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis were included, which account for thousands of cases and predominantly impact endemic r…
This study proposes the depolymerization of lignin (LDP) via electrochemical reduction, aiming at the formation of phenolic fragments. The subsequent Birch reduction, also carried out in an electrochemical cell, will promote the production of substituted cyclohexenones. Both steps will be evaluated both in batch and continuous flow regime, valuable intermediates in organic synthesis and f…

In this research project, studies will be conducted on the stereoselective synthesis of ¿-amino acid derivatives through enantioselective photocatalysis, employing both batch and continuous flow systems. The objective is to obtain enantioenriched non-natural amino acids with potential biological and industrial applications. To achieve this, the proposed approach involves the reaction betw…
The generation and use of reactive intermediates are well suited to continuous flow processing due to the ability to scale up reactions, confine toxic and hazardous reagents, and allow the heating of solvents beyond their respective boiling points. In previous work, we explored the chemistry of acyl ketenes, generated from 2,2,6-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one (TMD) under continuous flow re…

Chirality is a fundamental concept in various industries, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, where the demand for enantiomerically pure compounds has grown exponentially due to their importance in drug efficacy and safety. In this context, enantioselective catalysis, particularly asymmetric photocatalysis, has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of chiral molecules. Notably…
The design of environmentally sustainable processes that can be implemented quickly, objectively and safely is one of the main challenges faced by modern chemists. In recent years, mechanochemistry has emerged as a significant alternative for chemical synthesis, standing out for its efficiency, practicality and sustainability. At the same time, the principles of Green Chemistry, which hav…
The high consumption of fossil resources associated with growing environmental problems, generated by their use on a global scale, requires the identification of alternatives for obtaining fuels, chemicals and functional materials. Such alternatives are crucial for the development of modern society. Therefore, biomass presents itself as a renewable and sustainable source of organic carbon…
In recent years, rapid and wide-ranging developments have established Mechanochemistry as a powerful enabling technology in sustainable synthetic method development. This is mostly due to the ability to perform organic reactions without the need for reaction solvent, often connected with reduced reaction times compared to solution-phase counterparts. There have been a wide array of synthe…
