Project 12

Development of late-stage and rapid carboxylation techniques with 14CO2 in drug development programs (WP4)

Host institution: AstraZeneca AB, Sweden
Application Deadline: 22nd February
3 PhD year position. Expected start date: Mid 2020.
Remember to read the eligibility criteria here.

Objectives:

  1. Investigate the application of alkyl halides and pseudohalides for the synthesis of alkyl–Ni complexes and their ability to undergo rapid carboxylations with 14CO2 in the presence of a reductant
  2. Adapt new electrochemical and photolytic methods for the transformation of alkyl silicates to corresponding carboxylates with 14CO2 applying Ni-complexes
  3. Apply the developed conditions for late stage 14C labelling of pharmaceutically relevant alkyl carboxylates

Expected results:

  1. New techniques for late-stage carbon-14 isotope labelling adaptable to drug development programs
  2. A detailed understanding of the steps involved in transition metal-mediated carboxylations, particularly with nickel.
  3. Fast carboxylation reactions with easy-to-prepare intermediates

Planned secondment(s):

ESR12 has its daily work at the industrial site AZ, and will therefore have two academic secondments.

  • AU to Prof. Skrydstrup (3 months): Development of electrochemical methods for the rapid carboxylation of alkyl silicates (with ESR9).
  • ICIQ to Prof. Martin (3 months): Analysis of individual steps in the carboxylation of alkyl-Ni intermediates (with ESR1).
