Articles

Micellular catalysis has provided the ability to carry out several commonly used transformations used in the synthetic community to be carried out in water.

The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation is the oxidative cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts the ketones to esters and the cyclic ketones to lactones.

Prof. Bruce Lipshutz and co-workers have developed designer surfactants to allow several classes of transformations (e.g. Suzuki-Miyaura, Olefin Metathesis, 1,4-Addition to Enones, etc.) to be performed in water.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
