Dial-a-Molecule A Grand Challenge for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Prof. Richard Whitby University of Southampton

Chemical Sciences and Engineering Grand Challenges Consultation: June 2008: 153 Proposals. GC Workshop, Manchester, Nov. 2008: 13 areas. GC Proposals, Jan 2009: 4 selected. GC Network proposals, Sept 2009: 3 funded. ‘ Dial-a-Molecule ’ - 100% Efficient Synthesis PI: Professor Richard Whitby, University of Southampton. Directed Assembly of Extended Structures with Targeted Properties PI: Professor Paul Raithby, University of Bath. Utilising CO 2 in Synthesis and Transforming the Chemicals Industry PI: Professor Peter Styring, University of Sheffield.

Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge Vision: That in years, scientists will be able to deliver any desired molecule within a timeframe useful to the end-user, using safe, economically viable and sustainable processes. How can we make molecules in Days not Years!

Why? Synthesis cannot currently deliver new molecules quickly. The limitation is a key constraint in many areas of academic and industrial development The demand for more complex molecules will only increase e.g. Drugs selective for one target. Personalised Heath care Smart materials Functional Molecular constructs e.g. computers

EPSRC funded network Work out how to get to the Grand Challenge, and make the case for support (Roadmap) Build a network of people, from a wide range of disciplines to tackle the Grand Challenge.

Network Structure

Study and auto-optimisation of reactions. Need to identify and quantify many unknown compounds in a reaction, in real time. On-line HPLC / NMR / MS one approach Could molecular imaging be better?

The Dial-a-Molecule Network Launch Meeting Wed October 20 th, Birmingham ICC Join the theme groups Define the network agenda Applications to attend opening shortly Web site:

Synthetic route selection

Lab of the future Carrying out reactions repeatably with full capture of information (ELN integration) Auto optimisation of reactions: Real time reaction composition analysis. Sequencing reactions: flow, linked batch, in-line purification. Modular reconfigurable / adaptable reaction systems. Modelling - integration of reaction and reactor design

A step change in molecular synthesis Robust modular processes designed for sequencing. Catalytic; Reagentless; No-work-up; 100% conversion. Reactive fragments which can be ‘ clicked ’ together. Holistic approaches to targets. Biotechnology - engineered enzyme complexes. Chells as chemical factories. Synthetic Biology.

Catalytic paradigms for 100% efficient synthesis Highly selective catalysts with wide scope. New approaches to selectivity. Cross-compatibility in catalysts for multi-catalyst processing Multifunctional catalysts for sequential reactions; Forced chemocatalyst evolution. Next generation Biocatalysts Spatial Sequencing of catalysts

Predominantly industrial representation and chaired by CIKTN. Lead by a steering group, but membership open to all: Keep informed of all activities and outputs from the Network Conduit for input into all aspects of the network. Important forum for matchmaking. Ensure that the long-term goals match societal and economic needs Maximise early stage (commercial) return. Route to industrial funding. Route for commercial exploitation of network outputs. The “Focusing our efforts” advisory group

Aims of the network: To form new research communities directed at the ‘ Dial a Molecule ’ GC that extend beyond Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and which involve academia, industry and users. To identify research priorities for the GC and the major barriers associated with them. To develop community driven research agendas in the area of the GC. To identify the major societal and economic benefits associated with the GC and widely disseminate the information in an accessible way. To drive a step change in the ambition of scientists involved in molecular synthesis encouraging highly innovative approaches with the potential to transform the subject. To encourage and facilitate grant applications in the area of the GC. To provide routes to maximize U.K. commercial benefit from the GC.
