Chemistry Highlights

All the classics and many more…

  • Organometallics – extensive use of n-butyl lithium & various Grignard reagents (in house prepared or commercial available)
  • Precious metal catalysis – a wide range of coupling reactions.
  • Friedel-Crafts acylation
  • Reduction Chemistry – using hydride reagents, boranes, dissolving metals and hydrogenation
  • Chiral Products – by chiral pool synthesis, by chiral induction and by classical resolution.
