Green Alchemy: Charting the Path to Sustainable Chemistry

Abstract

In Troy’s academic journey, he explores eco-friendly methods for creating vital chemicals. Focused on using common metals, especially copper, Troy overcomes challenges to develop substances like "tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) tetrafluoroborate." This allows him to craft useful chemicals such as dihydroquinolin-2-one and spirolactam with high efficiency and precision. These chemicals are essential in medicines and natural products. Troy aims to refine this process for practical applications, striving to make it more environmentally friendly. His dedication to sustainable chemistry contributes to a greener future, highlighting the potential for improved ways of producing crucial substances we rely on daily.
