In particular it catalyses alkene epoxidation and alcohol oxidation, including the oxidation of biorenewable feedstocks such as glycerol and sugars. Gold is also a highly selective hydrogenation ...
In Scheme 1 the formula of the R* group in catalyst 3 shows the opposite enantiomer to that used in the epoxidation experiments. The correct formula is shown below.
This module covers synthesis and reactivity of ethers and epoxides. Students will connect these to the larger sustainability goals of UNSDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, 9: Industry, Innovation, and ...
My research group works primarily in the area of organic synthesis. Specifically, we are investigating a tandem aldol/epoxidation reaction using sulfur ylides and related compounds. This reaction is ...
More recent work has featured investigations into the catalytic applications of metal-oxo/peroxo systems in the area of epoxidation of olefins and the construction of metallo-framework cluster ...
To enhance the qualities of soybean oil, epoxy groups are added. Epoxidation is the process of adding epoxy groups to soybean oil. The end product is known as soybean oil that has been epoxidized.
Despite knowing that the active centres of many metalloprotein enzymes are iron porphyrin 'haem' complexes, chemists find them difficult to imitate. Now, the assembly of haem-like centres into a ...
2009/2010 Philip Page University of East Anglia Awarded for his distinguished contributions to asymmetric synthesis and catalysis, in particular iminium salt-catalysed epoxidation. Professor Page ...
