General description

The Penn PhD Photoreactor M2 is a benchtop instrument designed for chemists and researchers to accelerate chemical reactions using photoredox catalysis. The Photoreactor M2 combines LED illumination, mechanical stirring and cooling into one device. The user defined parameters of temperature, intensity, stir rate and time, create a valuable tool for repeatability, traceability, efficiency and consistency of results. The Photoreactor M2 addresses the potential to streamline synthetic sequences, and create valuable strategies for addressing some of the challenges of molecule construction in drug discovery.

Photoredox catalysis is a powerful synthetic methodology to form challenging covalent bonds using light irradiation. It is effective for light-driven polymer and small molecule synthesis.

Csp2- and Csp-hybridized coupling reactions are established catalytic approaches. However, multi-step Csp3- and Csp2-coupling reactions of boronic acids and related derivatives are still limited by ineffective two-electron transmetalation reactions.

While Markovnikov alkene reactivity is very well developed and utilized commonly in the synthesis of commodity and research chemicals, catalytic access to the anti-Markovnikov-selective adducts is a much less-developed endeavor.

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