Next Generation Photo- and Electrochemical Methodologies and their Applications to Sustainable Synthesis and Manufacturing
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM · 3 hr. (US/Central)
Salon K (Marriott Rivercenter)
Oral Session
This session includes 7 presentations
Information
This symposium showcases how photo- and electro-chemistry are transforming organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development by enabling greener, safer, and more efficient processes under mild conditions. Academic and industry leaders will present scalable case studies and emerging innovations, from synthetic methodology and mechanistic/computational insights to their execution on scale up platforms, that unlock access to new bond disconnections on complex molecules. Discussions will address practical implementation challenges in the pharmaceutical industry including regulatory considerations and technology transfer from lab to industrially relevant scales.
