Abstract
There is an increasing requirement for more sustainable materials and processes in synthetic chemistry. This can be achieved by developing and using more environmentally benign methods and catalysts as well as utilising waste materials in synthesis. In this PhD, enzymes were employed as renewable catalysts in a new synthetic application, mechanochemical processes were developed for the first time with non-hydrolytic enzymes, and lignin was investigated in preliminary experiments as a sustainable biomass-derived alternative to oil-based feedstocks.
